Yes, it is our Adamic nature to reject God, but it is NOT our nature to thwart God's will.

Ah, very true. We become new creatures in Christ, old things have passed away, all things become new. Christians have the physical Adamic nature but we have the spiritual nature of Christ since the Holy Spirit is sealed within us. Our old Adamic nature hopelessly wars against this new nature as God perfects us.

Amen, keyword being "hopelessly." God prevails absolutely.
