What does that have to do with the fact that Romans 5:13-14 speaks of a time which you refer to as the " Patriarchal administration. It was the time after the fall from the Garden of Eden, but before the Law was given. This second administration ended with the coming of the Law to Moses " and then misapply what God reveals in a historic comment to claim that there was a time of sinlessness when, in fact, there was tremendous wickedness and sin in the "Patriarchal administration"?
The whole point of Rom 5:13-14 is that even when there was no law, people sinned ... resulting in death because the wages of sin is death.
Romans 5:
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
vs 12 - sin entered into the world through Adam and because all who were born after Adam sinned, death was the result. They did not die because of Adam's actions. They died because of their own sin.
vs 13 - before the law, sin was in the world. Look at the judgments of God before the law of Moses: the flood of Noah's time. In Gen 6:5 we see that God saw the wickedness of man was great in the earth. And what about the fire and brimstone upon Sodom and Gomorrah. In Gen 18:20, God told Abraham that Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous, He would go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it (Gen 18:21).
These judgments took place during the time in which you erroneously claim "no law, no sin" ... which we know is not true because of what is stated in Scripture during the time period Rom 5:13 refers to.
And so, Peterlag, that is why it is important to read all of Scripture ... not to apply what is written to others to ourselves ... but to properly and rightly divide the Word of Truth concerning Scripture when that which was written for our learning is referred to in Scripture written to us.
