Christians aren't ready to hear that they are supposed to incorporate their sin nature into their personalities but they are. Unfortunately, it's complex and I haven't figured out how to simplify it ... yet.

That sounds very iffy. Anything good for us to incorporate isn't sinful.

Seriously I think there is a toughness that I see expressed by Jesus, Paul and others that I see absent from Christians but that wouldn't be an expression of our sin nature. I think Biblically what I'm looking for is simply called courage.

Exactly. Which doesn't need to have roots in sin, or darkness.

I read some of Christ and Paul's public expressions and they were so politically incorrect like Paul saying those who promote circumcision should, "go all the way and castrate themselves." Honestly, I'm not sure how to currently contextualize that level of harshness.
