Are people born with a sin nature?
Yes. Scripture teaches that every person, as a son of Adam, is born with a body housing a personality that is sin-bent and anti-God. This inherited condition is spiritual, not physical, and affects all humanity. Scripture calls this the dilemma of being sons of Adam.
Les teaches that the mind, will, and emotion created in Adam came from the Creator and is eternal, existing in the realm of the Spirit. He explains that every one of us, as sons of Adam, are born with a body in which dwells this personality that is sin-bent and anti-God. He anticipates objections from good people who say, 'That's not me; I'm too good,' and responds that this is not what the Book says. He points to Romans 3 and Romans 8 for support.
