“NO! I would not and do not have that “nature inside me”.”

Yes, you do. We all do. You’ve just been able to keep it at bay, so far. However, if you deny that it is there, then you are only increasing the chances that it will break free some day and wreak havoc. Denial of reality doesn’t change reality, it just makes it more likely that reality will bite you in the behind.

If you are trying to say that everyone is imperfect and sinful, I agree.
However, the nature of each person's sinfulness is different. You may have to fight the tendencies of wanting to steal shoes, while someone else may have temptations in another areas. We are not all tempted by exactly the same things.
