David’s Heir: Cosmic Two: The Hatred Complex: the Sin Nature: It’s Characteristics & Trends; Spirituality & Carnality Are Absolutes; a Cosmic and Carnal Soul Cannot Be Renovated without Spiritual Growth, Rom 12:2; the Daily Battle between Free Will & the Temptations & Trends of the Sin Nature
Cosmic 2: The Hatred Complex:
1.	The Sin Nature.  This is a genetic condition inherited from every person’s parents.  It is recorded in the DNA to which Adam’s sin is imputed at physical birth causing a newborn to be physically alive but spiritually dead.
	The sin nature possesses a number of trends a few of which become facilitated over the course of a person’s life.  As these are repeatedly practiced they become paths of least resistance so that a person will become easily enticed to engage in their behavior patterns.
	In Cosmic Two, the sin of hatred is directed toward God in the form of antagonism.  This temptation originates either from internal lust patterns or externally from Satan, demon influence, people, and everyday circumstances.
	Temptations are inevitable but sin is an option, commission or restraint determined by volition.  There is an area of weakness that tempts a person to commit sin which unchecked metastasizes into evil.
	The sin nature also has an area of strength which is manifested by thoughts, decisions, and actions of human good and moral degeneracy.
	A believer functioning inside the bubble is filled with the Holy Spirit and is in status quo spirituality, while a believer functioning outside the bubble is not filled with the Spirit and is in status quo carnality.
	Therefore, spirituality and carnality are not conditions of degree but are absolutes.  A believer is one or the other.  Spirituality is maintained by adherence to biblical standards and resistance to temptations.  Spirituality is lost through personal sin and results in carnality.  Carnality is canceled by confession alone to God alone which restores the believer to status quo spirituality.
	Generally speaking, sin may be identified by the imperative moods of Scripture which either command certain things be done or demand that certain things be avoided.  Those who claim they keep the Ten Commandments rarely, if ever, remark on how they shape up regarding the 1,631 commandments in the New Testament alone.
	The sin nature’s influence over a person’s soul becomes dominant over time when behavior patterns are facilitated, character traits are established, and a lifestyle is formed.  The thinking of any person, believer or unbeliever, cannot be overhauled minus the consistent inculcation of the Word of God.  (Romans 12:2)
