Is human nature inherently good or evil?

The truth of God's Word in Romans explains that all humans have a conscience and desire self and group acceptance. Romans 2:13-15 "(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)" Further truth reveals that all humans are also subject to deceitful lusts. Ephesians 4:22 "That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;" Before God's involvement in our lives, we were “dead in trespasses and sins” and “by nature the children of wrath” due to Satan's influence. Ephesians 2:1,2 “And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air…” By accepting Christ, a person receives the spirit of God within and can accomplish good works for God. Ephesians 2:10 "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." Only when love is the motivator can a person renew his mind and replace the old man nature with the new man. Colossians 3:9,10 "Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:"


Definition of man you philosophical and theological point of view?

Socrates: Most men (ie. human beings) have either "wind eggs" (false pregancies) or "monstrosities" (bad ideas) as ideas or concepts in their minds, rather than "robust brain children" (good ideas or good concepts) that should be nurtured and brought to fruition. But Socrates could help you abort your bad concepts or send you to someone else who could help your mind become "pregnant" if you would only answer his questions as honestly as possible.Plato: Thought most men (ie. human beings) would be better men with a better law giver (if only a philoospher would become King or by some dispensation of Providence a King would become a "true philosopher") and better laws in a perfect State or "Polity".Thales: He thought that philosophers could become rich if they wanted to --- but they didn't want to become rich. He actually proved his point by talking to a natural philosopher about what kind of olive harvest they'd have the following year. The guy said "Huge"! So Thales bought up the rights to all the olive presses, in the winter, and leased them out when the predicted huge harvest came in, thereby making a killing because everyone had to rent their olive presses from him at a profit to him. Then he gave a big party with his profits to show that he really didn't care about making money. His views of "man" were similar to everybody else's views of the time.Anaximander: Man evolved from other/earlier animals who were not men.Aristotle: Man is a political animal and only a social animal who has a sense of justice vs. injustice can be a political animal. That said, most men (ie. anthropoid animals) prefer the same sort of lives as other animals --- the lives of eating, drinking and sexual reproduction.St. Augustine: There are 2 types of men. (1) Those who dwell in the City of Man and enjoy it, being unable to imagine any other kind of city. (2) Those who want to dwell in the City of God and enjoy that kind of metaphorical "city" eternally.Aquinas: Much like Aristotle. Man is a political animal. But his true happiness is to dwell with his maker in eternity. And if you can't figure it out, logically, you can take the advice of Holy Mother Church.Machiavelli:- It is better to be a Prince's adviser and friend, rather than a Prince's enemy or a simple "nobody". Maybe. Maybe not.Hobbes:- Man is a "smarter animal" than other animals. Men only differ in "degree" of intelligence from other animals --- they don't differ in kind of intelligence. [The "Socratics" disagree. Sensation and Knowledge differ in KIND rather than in degree.] He has the best kind of life in a "Leviathan" with a just monarch as his ruler.Kierkegard: Bet on eternal life, more than on card/dice games. If you bet wrong on "eternity" and there is such a thing, your bad bet will be an eternally bad debt.Marx: If only there becomes a true dictatorship of the proletariat man will finally live in "Eutopia" (good place) instead of "Utopia" (no place). So far, not so good. The Soviet Union seems a failed experiment.Nietzsche: We're still waiting for his "Super Man" or "Over Man". Maybe the mistake has been that we have yet to obtain an "Over Woman" --- despite the coming and going of Margaret Thatcher in England and Mrs. Regan and Mrs. Clinton in America.theological point of viewMan is the most complex, truly unique physical mechanism ever designed and made. With such a marvelous mind and body, we might expect it was only natural that our Maker send along his "Instruction Book" - just as a manufacturer sends along with the instrument or device he manufactures an instruction book describing what his product is designed to do.That Instruction Book God did send. It reveals the missing dimension in knowledge - the incredible human potential.
