Discussion Board Discussion Board Paul was considered as a great apostle of Jesus. He was also instrumental in writing the book of Romans in the bible that has been used by Christians throughout the world. According to Romans 1:18-32 Paul viewed humanity as being sinful. He states that humanity has turned away from the true God and engaged themselves in the worship of idols. In addition, Paul describes humanity as being desperately rooted in sin as a result of rejecting the worship of true God.

Humanity has no understanding, lack of fidelity, deficiency in love, lack of mercy and engrave themselves in sexual sins such as homosexuality. Despite the sinful nature of humanity, god is prepared through the use of His power to save the world from sins or problems and restore their initial nature according to God’s promises (Lee, 2010). In my opinion, I totally agree with Paul’s view of the human nature according to Romans 1:18-32. In the contemporary society human nature has been corrupted to reflect the sinful nature of the world.

For instance human nature is filled with sinful desires such as homosexuality. The world has experienced a lot of problems and issues as a result of the sinful nature f human beings. Furthermore, it is evident that humanity as a result of its sinful nature has problems. Human beings have turned away from the worship of the one and true God and instead engaged themselves in the worship of idols. Money is considered as an idol of worship among human beings in the contemporary society. Hence, I totally agree with Paul’s view in relation to the nature of humanity.
