       Sin was so bad, at the time right before the Flood, that God actually regretted making men and women. We know we can sway the hand of God with prayer, right? We should know that. Well, humans can also sway the hand of God by their intensity of evil. Quickly, notice in the text that Paul says, “so death spread to all men because all sinned.” I want to clear something up here. Paul is not saying that the people after Adam had the opportunity not to sin. He’s not saying that none were found to be righteous. For it would have been impossible for anyone not to have sinned, as I stated a little bit ago that people all have the sin nature from Adam’s seed. I think to understand what Paul is saying here, it is good to look at a cross reference Scripture in 1 Corinthians 15. Verse 22 states: “For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive” (ESV). You see, all had sinned because they were in Adam, not because they just so happened to sin. That difference is important.
