Peter, we are indeed born sinful. As I mentioned in my earlier posts, the fall corrupted our human nature, distorted it and twisted it. People live according the lusts that are warring in their flesh. The lusts are the desires that were created by God, but were distorted and misused by us. The distortion was caused by ego-centeredness. When man was created, all his desires were to be focused on God. When he fell, his desires are focused on himself. He left God as his source! So man is born with the law of sin and death in his flesh. But this law is not the law of satanic life as Witness Lee taught, but the law of fallen human nature.
