Q112: PEOPLE WERE CREATED BY GOD TO BE UPRIGHT, BUT WHY DID THEY ENDED UP WITH TWISTED MINDS (Ecclesiastes 7:29)?



PEOPLE WERE CREATED BY GOD TO BE UPRIGHT, BUT THEY ENDED UP WITH TWISTED MINDS!  WHY?
  • I did learn one thing: We were completely honest when God created us, but now we have twisted minds.  (Ecc 7:29 CEV)
How did people come to their many worldly destructive concepts and actions that harm themselves and the environment? How did people ended up with their twisted minds? 
The root reason is because people removed the pure knowledge of God from their education, careers, businesses, leadership, and management practices.
EVEN THE WORLD'S CHURCHES AND RELIGIONS REMOVED GOD FROM THEIR TEACHINGS AND DOCTRINES!
And, believe it or not, these include their Churches and Religions, replacing God's pure and complete truths with their impure man-made traditions and doctrines (Mark 7:7-9)!
  • They worship Me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commands of men.  (Mar 7:7 HCSB)
  • Disregarding the command of God, you keep the tradition of men."  (Mar 7:8 HCSB)
  • He also said to them, "You completely invalidate God's command in order to maintain your tradition!  (Mar 7:9 HCSB)
  •  And because THEY DID NOT THINK IT WORTHWHILE TO HAVE GOD IN THEIR KNOWLEDGE, God delivered them over to a worthless mind to do what is morally wrong.  (Rom 1:28 HCSB)
  • They are filled with all unrighteousness, evil, greed, and wickedness. They are full of envy, murder, disputes, deceit, and malice. They are gossips,  (Rom 1:29)
  • slanderers, God-haters, arrogant, proud, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,  (Rom 1:30)
  • undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, and unmerciful.  (Rom 1:31)
  • Although THEY KNOW FULL WELL GOD'S JUST SENTENCE -- that those who practice such things deserve to die -- they not only do them, but even applaud others who practice them.  (Rom 1:32 HCSB)
As a result, the wicked Evil Inclination from the Evil side of the forbidden Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, deceived and overpowered them, and their hearts became deceitful and desperately wicked (Jeremiah 17:9).
THE HEART IS DECEITFUL above all things, AND DESPERATELY WICKED: who can know it?  (Jer 17:9 KJV)
