Sounds a bit like what Paul is saying in Rom 7. "I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do...Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it." That sounds much like what you're saying, about sinful desire being "external" to "me", separate from what I want to do myself. Fod |
