Cost of living — opposes David Stumbo's biblestudytools.com source gives a direct Tier 1 answer on Cost of living: What is the sin nature? What does it mean that we all have a sin nature? I see brethren go around and around and around in circles trying to understand that ‘sin nature’ concept, which is actually one of men’s doctrines pushed into certain English Bible translations (Ne Quote: “What is the sin nature? What does it mean that we all have a sin nature? I see brethren go around and around and around in circles trying to understand that ‘sin nature’ concept, which is actually one of men’s doctrines pushed into certain English Bible translations (New Living Translation; God’s Word Translation, etc.). It comes from a different translation of Apostle Paul’s teaching in Romans 7… Rom 7:17-18 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh, ) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. KJV Rom 7:22-23 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23 But I see another law in my members , warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. KJV Rom 7:25 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.” Source: What is the "Sin Nature?" - Theology - Christian Forums at Crosswalk — https://forums.crosswalk.com/t/what-is-the-sin-nature/19224 4.
