Excuse me, I mean if you’re going to use the term “sin nature,” you should define what you mean. The Bible uses the word “old self” or “old man” for what a person is born in and the term “flesh” and “sin in the flesh” for what we war against, since we are a new man in Christ with His Holy Spirit in us.
OK. I wasn’t going to touch this thread, but since I have recently addressed this in my adult Sunday School class here in rural Virginia...let’s shuck it down to the cob.
The word “judge” carries the meaning of assigning punishment. Unless we are, by the will of God, in a civil judicial role, we should honor the notion of allowing God to repay, i.e. set the punishment. The better term is “discern.” We must be discerning and unafraid in speaking truth to power. This wacko PC age views any discerning dissent as “judgmental.” The idea of the leftists is to simply make us shut up and tolerate the intolerable.
Not gonna happen with this old guy. I would relish the opportunity to call Obama a Marxist liar to his face.
Shabbat Shalom
