The concept of being "twisted" can be applied to both physical and metaphorical contexts within the Scriptures. Old Testament Usage The Hebrew word often associated with "twisted" is "עָוָה" (avah), which means to bend, twist, or distort. This term is frequently used to describe iniquity or sin, indicating a deviation from righteousness. In <a href="/isaiah/24.htm">Isaiah 24:1</a>, the prophet speaks of the earth being "twisted" as a result of God's judgment: "Behold, the LORD lays waste to the earth and makes it desolate; He twists its surface and scatters its inhabitants." The imagery of twisting is also present in the description of the serpent in <a href="/bsb/genesis/3.htm">Genesis 3</a>. While the word "twisted" is not explicitly used, the serpent's cunning nature and deceitful words represent a twisting of God's truth, leading to the fall of humanity. New Testament Usage In the New Testament, the Greek word "διαστρέφω" (diastrephō) is used to describe the act of twisting or perverting. In <a href="/acts/13-10.htm">Acts 13:10</a>, Paul confronts Elymas the sorcerer, saying, "You son of the devil, enemy of all righteousness, full of deceit and fraud, will you not stop twisting the straight paths of the Lord?" The concept of twisting is also evident in the warnings against false teachings and doctrines. In <a href="/2_peter/3-16.htm">2 Peter 3:16</a>, Peter refers to those who twist the Scriptures to their own destruction: "He writes this way in all his letters, speaking in them about such matters. Some parts of his letters are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction." Moral and Spiritual Implications The idea of being twisted is often associated with moral corruption and spiritual waywardness. <a href="/proverbs/2-15.htm">Proverbs 2:15</a> describes those who are morally twisted: "whose paths are crooked and whose ways are devious." This highlights the departure from the straight and narrow path that God desires for His people. In a broader sense, the concept of twistedness can be seen in the distortion of God's creation and order. <a href="/romans/1-25.htm">Romans 1:25</a> speaks of humanity's tendency to exchange the truth of God for a lie, worshiping created things rather than the Creator, thus twisting the intended purpose of creation. Application for Believers For believers, the call is to remain steadfast and true to the teachings of Scripture, avoiding the twisted paths of sin and falsehood. <a href="/ephesians/4-14.htm">Ephesians 4:14</a> encourages believers to mature in their faith so that they "will no longer be infants, tossed about by the waves and carried around by every wind of teaching and by the clever cunning of men in their deceitful scheming." The Bible consistently warns against the dangers of twisting God's word and commands, urging followers to seek wisdom and discernment. By adhering to the truth of Scripture and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, believers can avoid the pitfalls of twisted thinking and live lives that honor God.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
