According to Jeremiah 17:9, “The heart of man is desperately wicked.” It describes the heart of human are as being prone to deceit and evil. Humans are naturally inclined towards selfishness, sin, and wrongdoing.
When we turn from God decided to worship the devil, there are consequences to our actions.
A lot of grown men like to have these young men and boys on the block with them drinking and smoking, teaching them evil, so what do they expect is going to happen, turning these young men into monsters.
Yes, it’s wrong to take anyone life.
