What we consider right and wrong is not independent of our nature. When we DO do things wrong, it is therefore a perversion of the natural order, a derailment from perfection. Perfectly consistent with the Bible, which is just a different way of saying what we already know.
I'm not sure I follow what you have in mind by the part I've bolded. What do you think is the proper place of the bible for a Christian? Do you think of it as the result of divine dictation or as the work of inspired men (as can be found in many other books as well)? I'd very much like to know your views on the bible.
