Paul, what you did was simply cut-n-paste a whole boatload of verses taken out of the NIV version (the only one that uses "sinful nature" instead of flesh), and you did this with little comment about the text itself. Simply posting a bunch of verses or a long quote of Lee or Nee is NOT dialog...it is not discussion...it is simply using valuable time and bandwidth to promote a man's personal ministry or maybe a particular translation.

Here are a couple of the dozen or so verses you cut-n-pasted:
Rom 7:5
For when we were controlled by the sinful nature,* the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, so that we bore fruit for death.

Rom 7:18
I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature.* For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.

Your response was to simply post a whole boatload of verses that all apparently back up a point we already agree upon...to wit: that we as humans have a sinful nature. Nobody is disputing this. The point at hand is whether or not Satan himself actually dwells in us. This is what Lee said, or at least strongly implied. And no, we do NOT want to hear more of Lee's explanation and interpretation regarding this...What does the BIBLE say? What do YOU say? What have Christian teachers been saying about this matter for about 2000 years? Let's compare and contrast.
