What does the Bible say about man's thoughts and enmity against God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible indicates that man's thoughts are often in opposition to God, reflecting an enmity that arises from a darkened understanding of his own sinfulness.

The Scriptures reveal that the natural state of man is one of enmity against God, as stated in Romans 8:7, which says, 'the carnal mind is enmity against God.' This means that in our unregenerate state, our thoughts and imaginations are contrary to God's holiness and righteousness. As discussed in Genesis 6, every imagination of man's heart was only evil continually. This illustrates the pervasive nature of sin that blinds individuals to their true nature and leads them to fabricate their own understanding of God, which is often a misrepresentation that stems from self-importance and pride.
