Truth hurts. Not many will agree with you, for today's so called carnal Christians want to align the Bible to their fickle minds, instead of the vice versa. English being my second language, i hope i will explain better to support your point. Doen' the bible say '' we all have sinned and come short of the glory of God'' . Rom 8:23. Sin here is not implying what we have done, but the ''Adamic nature'' a one year baby boy carry the Adamic nature( original sin/depravity) the root of sin, or the mother of all sins, or th tree of sin. You may be good, you don't do all those practical sins, but you are still a sinner by nature. For we were born in inqutiy (psalms 51:3) if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us'' @ (1jhn 1:8) if i understand english well, the word ''sin'' is singular, so this sin is a nature rather than a charecter. your second point is also true, that sin is in the flesh. 100%. The point here is that sin is in our blood, genes ... whatever science calls it. And blood is in every vein from head to toe. DNA test can show if the child is yours, But Adam's DNA is in all of us. The snake, i mean reall snake feeds on dust, the devil being called the serpent feeds on the what ? The flesh. So those who are not sanctified are inwardly evil, even if outwardly good, they harbour sins like lust, hatred, unforgiveness, resentments, pride e.t.c. And as long as sin dwells in you, whose daughters and sons are what is reffered to as fruits of the flesh/ sins of the flesh, the bible says you are a child of the devil. @ 1 Jhn 3:8-10. That hurts the sinner who deceives him/herself into believing that he/she is a christian. Im glad thi teenager also gives a solution to this, and that is Christ, on His baptism, yes many may differ, but he did it for us, for whatever Jesus did, it was for us, HE LIVED 4 US, AND HE DIED FOR US. And about the language used, it only offends the Adamic nature in you, for it begs like Legion, ''I ADJURE YOU BY GOD, DO NOT TORMENT US'' . SINNERS WANT TO BE EXHORTED, OR COURTED, but that isn't God's way.. from Moses, to the apostles. ''is not my word like a fire, and like a hammer...'' Jer 23:29.
