Your question is a loaded question. One shouldn't be obliged to answer loaded questions.
So your will and your capability to feel compassion, sympathy, and empathy for others are separate from your nature? Then what constitutes your nature exactly?
When I was an evangelical Christian, these were all considered part of my human nature tainted by sin.
It seems to me like you're saying you don't have a sinful nature but only sinful thoughts/actions???
