NATURE OR NURTURE?

I am Christian. My parents were Christians and instructed me in this faith. Because 'religion' was the career of my parents, the questions/comments were swirling from a young age: You only believe in Christ because your parents do, because this is what you were taught... If you were born elsewhere, to others...
 
I agree wholeheartedly. Paul writes in Romans, 'How will they hear, unless someone preaches to them?' (Romans 10:14) And in my case, it was my parents.
 
But let me tell you about the 'other' I might have been, for the same reasons of both nature and nurture: I would be a terrorist today. Had I been brought up there, under that teaching, under those role models and values and pressures, I would be a killer. Through one man's teaching, my nature was nurtured towards faith in Christ. Through another's, my nature is nurtured towards murder.
 
The nature is in there. What we nurture does matter.
