Peter, long time no see…thanks for the reply.

I was speaking strictly from a legal standpoint and I was pointing out that “disease” is very inaccurate contextually speaking. I don’t want to get lost in semantics and get away from the original point, but the western idea of “sin nature” is something I cannot find anywhere in the Scriptures.

Now I will grant you that Jesus did come to set a new standard for his followers in that he observed that the Law has emptied the hearts of Jewish people of any desire to do what’s right before God, and he is clearly correcting that kind of thinking: when you lust after a woman you have already committed adultery in your heart. I would however like to continue the “sin everywhere” conversation with you if you are interested - I find such conversations highly educational and enjoyable. :)
