Saying he had a "fallen nature" is tantamount to saying he had a sin nature whether or not he sinned.
The reason we are born fallen is because of the "iniquity of the fathers" our inheritance from the first Adam on.
 
      Yes.
 
It comes down through the father ....
 
     Where do you find that in scripture?

All of the following relate to generational sin:
Exodus 20:5  God is jealous visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon children to 3rd & 4th generation....
Exodus 34:7  God will by no means clear the guilty visiting the iniquity of the fathers.....
Lev 26:39 ...and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them...
Num 14:33 ...Your sons shall bear your whoredoms until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness...
Job 21:19 ... God layeth up his iniquity for his children
Isa 14:21 ... for the iniquity of their fathers that they do not rise nor possess the land...
Jer 32:18 ...and repay the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children...
 
This can also be traced in families, for example Cain the first murderer; God judged him but didn't kill him and so Lamech who was either grandson or ggrandson also killed a man.  God gives a measure of time for men to repent and when this does not happen eventually he wipes out the whole line as he has done with Ahab and others..
 
Jeremiah 31 and Ezekiel 18 both say the same thing and that is - that this progression can stop IF the man is righteous.
But Romans 3:10 tells us that there is none righteous, no not one.  That is, with the exception of Jesus;
