From your website you seem to take a rather extreme view of human nature. I also get the sense that this view is very near the core of what you think is most important in being a Christian. I'll open a thread so this can be discussed, which will have to involve more than simply an exchange of Scripture, as each point-of-view can simply be made, superficially, with a long list of passages rather than each of us exploring the issue experientially, which includes some philosophical and psychological concepts. There have been previous threads on this topic, so those will be posted as well, under "Human Nature."
