Sorry, that post was filled with a egregious amount of bad autocorrects.

Not a problem. Perhaps I quibble, but I think the philosophical or theological issue is simply this: Do humans have a defined nature or essence beyong simply being generally sinful? I have free will. I can do anything. I can be anything. My choices are my own, and many of my choices are mistakes. I wrestle with gluttony more than some other sins. On the whole, lust is not a sin that I wrestle with all that much (happily married). Different people are tempted by different things. I don’t know that their personal temptations really reflect on any particular “essence” of their nature.
