“The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.”
God gave the first people a choice and they chose so God gave them to fruit of their choice, that is, they chose to reject God’s love so they were given a random and arbitrary world with no certainty. In this kind of world people become self obsessed, like Cain. When people become self obsessed they corrupt themselves and then they corrupt the earth on which they live as well. Everyone was becoming more and more like Cain, they didn’t master the sin that lay outside the door to their lives but they let that sin inside and then they follow every evil desire of their heart. This means that one person’s right to do something will eventually conflict with another person’s right to do something and there will be violence ending in death. God was not responsible for this situation in any way. He, in grace, gave people the ability to choose so that they could more richly enjoy the gifts that flow from His love. However, God is always consistent and will give people whatever they choose. Adam and Eve chose the way that leads to death and the world became corrupt and the earth debased.
