Natural inability, coupled with the elaborate plan of God in progressing towards the new covenant, shows an amazingly ingenious plan that only God could come up with to ensure man receives grace, and never considers that he could have taken knowledge of good and evil and gone without his help to become like Him.
I cannot see how the cross fits into the context in your mind with the way that Paul placed it in
Romans 6. Paul's whole point in Romans chapter 6 is to show us that we had to become dead to sin through Christ in order for sin not to have dominion over us anymore, and you're telling us we merely had to stop yielding to it.
