What the Bible says about Everyone is Doing it
(From Forerunner Commentary)
Humans can justify themselves to the point that they really think they are clean despite our sins. They will use “all humanity” as their excuse, admitting they are sinners “just like everyone else,” but not wanting to admit specific sins or faults for fear that they will be required to quit them. God knows all men have sinned and fall short of His glory (Romans 3:23), but He is only interested in each individual's personal repentance (change, turning completely away from sin), overcoming, and growth, not their excuses. “Everyone is doing it” does not justify a person's sin. God will forgive only as each person repents.
