Well, I suppose so. lol. Or something even worse than our fallen human nature. As for human nature, surely there's our fallen human nature as well as the seed planted within us by Christ which we're to feed so it will grow and eventually choke out the fallen one?
I was told that in church when I was a child. I was told we have a fallen nature and a spiritual nature within us. We have to feed the spiritual with prayer and studying the scriptures so that it will grow. We obviously want to starve out that fallen nature within us, though that obviously isn't as easy as it sounds. That thing just doesn't wanna die. lol.

Ephesians 5:18-20 (KJV)
[SUP]18 [/SUP]And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
[SUP]19 [/SUP]Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
[SUP]20 [/SUP]Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
It is important to know (being a drunkard as I was in the past) that eventually the booze wears off and you have to drink some more if you want to get plastered again. There is a similarity. To be filled with the Spirit, one must take in Spiritual truth, digest it, and get High.
Ephesians 3:17-19 (KJV)
[SUP]17 [/SUP]That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
[SUP]18 [/SUP]May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
[SUP]19 [/SUP]And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
