Yes. Isn't this also what you think?

Since Christ took our sinful nature, would this be problematic to assert?

What I believe is that sinful tendencies/traits are a character problem, a mind problem. All of us are born with this, but Christ wasn't.

Christ was born with sinful flesh, as we are. I asked you what constituted sinful flesh.

What I answered was that "sinful flesh" includes the mind and, therefore, includes sinful tendencies (which are a mind/character problem), however in Christ's case His mind was free from sinful tendencies because His divine nature resided in His mind. This is our hope. When we become partakers of the divine nature, tendencies to wrong are cut away from our character.

So you're saying that the "sinful flesh" in which Christ came is different than the "sinful flesh" which we have? And, similarly, when we're told that Christ took our sinful nature upon His sinless nature, this "sinful nature" is a different sinful nature than we have?

Yes, in one aspect - the mind. But when we are converted our sinful nature becomes similar to His - the only difference being that, in our case, this is a gradual process.

Our sinful nature doesn't change; it's static. The flesh is what it is; it can never be converted, it can never change. The flesh can only be crucified.

I wonder if anyone else has this idea, that our sinful nature changes.

That's an interesting thing about these conversations. I can get an idea of what questions to ask. For example, "Do you believe our sinful nature (or sinful flesh) is static, or that it changes?" I would never even have thought of asking this without your comment.

No, I don't believe that.

"Christ came to our world because he saw that men had lost the image and nature of God. He saw that they had wandered far from the path of peace and purity, and that, if left to themselves, they would never find their way back. He came with a full and complete salvation, to change our stony hearts to hearts of flesh, to change our sinful natures into his similitude, that, by being partakers of the divine nature, we might be fitted for the heavenly courts." {YI, September 9, 1897 par. 4}

"To the careless, the indifferent, the unconcerned, those standing on the precipice of ruin, Christ says: Open the door of your heart; give me entrance, and I will make you a child of God. I will transform your weak, sinful nature into the divine image, giving it beauty and perfection." {YI, November 11, 1897 par. 5}

I think, however, that some aspects will always remain on this earth, like, for instance, the need for a supernatural enmity against Satan to be implanted by the Holy Spirit in the soul.

Do you see that "sinful nature" is different than "sinful flesh"?
