I remember somewhere that Luther said God is gracious by not letting us see our sin all at once because it may crush us. Also I appreciate you addressing these tough questions.
It would be really helpful to me if you provided a transcript. I can read much faster than I can listen. Also, you haven't explained why God found it just to allow all of Adam's descendants to be conceived with a sin nature. We were never given the choice of obeying God in the first place. I don't know that I would have chosen differently from Adam, but I don't understand why I wasn't allowed to try. For Jesus to come and suffer in my place seems right and just, but it still doesn't really answer my question.
This is a really poorly understood point, that we don't see the depths of our own sinfulness.
