There is no such thing as a “sin nature.” The Bible never refers to the “sin nature.” It is a myth of modern theology. However, the Bible DOES teach a lot about the “flesh.” This study looks at Romans 6:19 (and other passages from Romans) to learn what the flesh actually is, and what we are to live in the Spirit rather than in the flesh. Note that this study is an excerpt from my Gospel Dictionary online course. This course considers 52 key words of the Gospel and thousands of biblical texts. The course contains over 100 hours Bible teaching. You can take the course by joining my online discipleship group. So let us see what we can learn about the flesh from Romans 6:19 and other texts. The Flesh in Romans 6:19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh … For when we were...

I read and study Scripture every day, not only for personal and spiritual growth, but also because I like to teach others what I have learned from the Bible. As I study, I normally like to read and study using paper books, but in recent years, I have found that Bible study software is increasingly helpful. Bible study software reduces the time I spend reading and studying, and also helps me use the powerful search functions.

They shut down last year and will no longer be selling their software. Thankfully, Logos has me covered. They have an excell...
