Answering a question with a question. Your standard deflection/ dancing. The more often you need to resort to this tactic, the less plausible is your analysis. It's a cry of desperation from someone backed into a corner.When you answer my request. . .

What does Paul say in Ro 5:13?
You're the one making the extraordinary claim - a period from Adam to Moses where no one is sinning? And God's response was - to wipe them out instead of delighting in them?

What does Paul say in Ro 5:13?
I already gave you my understanding of Ro 5:13, "Sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no law." I argued that laws were already written on their hearts in tandem with the conscience (Ro 2:15).
Let's start with Sodom and Gomorrah. Was there any sin there?
Gen 18:20-21: Then the Lord said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous 21that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know.”
Isaiah 3:9, "They parade their sin like Sodom;they do not hide it."
Jer 23:14, "They strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that not one of them turns from their wickedness. They are all like Sodom to me; the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.”
Ezek 16:49, "Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. 50They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen."
He didn't destroy them for living righteously!
