Given humanity's propensity for destructive behavior, it's clear that we need divine instruction to guide us toward righteousness. The Bible teaches that our hearts are deceitful and our understanding is limited, emphasizing the need for God's wisdom to transform our lives.

The Word of God: Our Guide to Righteousness

The Word of God provides us with the instruction and guidance we need to live righteously. Through Scripture, we receive teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness, empowering us to live lives that honor God. By embracing God's Word, we can overcome our destructive tendencies and walk in the path of righteousness.

Maturity of Christians leads them past basics. To keep to referring to the idea that Man has a sinful nature brings what new thing to the discussion of 1Co11? Nothing. It is an old hat that no one disputes as true. What relevance does this bring to a discussion when both of us agree on it? Try a new hat to prove either: the iv (instinct view) is wrong or something new to prove the vv (veil view) as right.

1Co11 has many views of it, testifying to the difficulty of determining what it is exactly that Paul is saying. When expressed-views conflict with theology or have holes then they need to be examined for modification or discard. The vv has shown need for examination.

Other than saying the iv is using instincts of Man, using a defn of instincts which is not used to explain the iv, then what have you said to show the iv's errors?

The so called mothering instinct results in lives that are nasty brutish and short for many children, abortion, child abuse, foster care, childhood poverty. Outside of a just society life is brutish and short.

Did you notice that, in so many words, Amanah here testifies that mothering instincts do not exist, calling them 'so called'.
