Yes, that is why Christ had to die, because there is no human other than Him who is free of sin. The Innocent had to die for the guilty. It is a complicated question, there is no simple answer. Also, it is useless to try to explain sin away when we see the results around us everyday.

Yes. And the interesting thing is that we do not have to be taught to sin, it just comes naturally. Watch a baby for instance. They will purposely do things wrong, while knowing they have been told not to. But the upside to it, is that God gives grace to cover our sins. We have to battle the sin in our lives daily, but we have a father who is just to forgive.

Humans can behave genorously or be stingy, they can be compassionate or do grave harm. We are capable of a wide range of behavior. We can act morally or not. Is that in our "nature"? Sure, it is, for interesting biological and cultural reasons.
The word "sin" is an archaic term better left in literature or poetry.

One does not say mankind. One says humanity. Sin is a religious concept. If you mean,it is human nature to disobey rules,yes.

Yes and no. We were created with a tendancy to good. When sin entered the world, it left us with the tendency to evil. Read Genesis.

Well, define sin. Some people don't even believe there's a such thing. It isn't something you can prove the existence of. I would say no because of the subjective nature of the question.

Yes. It is because the belief in flesh spawns sinful thoughts. One must also remember, the true man, the image of God is sinless, and God did not create twice.

According to every religion it is human nature to sin. If they didn't say that, they would be out of business.
I don't buy it.

Yes. That's why Jesus shed His blood for us, to cover our sins.
