Thus the notion that we bear the full responsibility for our decisions seems false-- we have been corrupted and cannot help but to sin. Humanity has been cursed by god before all but two of us (Adam and Eve) had the opportunity to prove ourselves.
Paul wasn't saying here it was impossible to not sin. He said that, try as he could, he was unable to keep from sinning. It is true that all have sinned, but God didn't say that it was impossible not to sin. It's in our nature to sin and we must rely on a supernatural power to be saved.
