Hi NightJay, While looking at a Thesaurus under heart, we see there are quite a few results! Three definitions seem to fit what the Bible means when we see the word in that particular context. They are 1, emotions, 2, courage, and 3, essence. Now under these three definitions there is a long list of synonyms, for "emotions" we see, affection, benevolence, character, compassion, concern, disposition, emotion, feeling, gusto, humanity, inclination, love, nature, palate, pity, relish, response, sensitivity, sentiment, soul, sympathy, temperament, tenderness, understanding, and zest.-- In the number 2 definition, "courage" we see, --boldness, bravery, dauntlessness, fortitude, gallantry, guts, mettle, mind, moxie, nerve, pluck, purpose, resolution, resolve, soul, spirit, spunk, and will.-- And in the number three definition, 'essence" we see, basic, bosom, bottom line, center, central part, core, crux, focal point, focus, gist, groceries, hub, kernel, marrow, middle, nitty-gritty, nub, nucleus, pith, polestar, quick, quintessence, root, seat, and soul. Wow! pretty impressive! That's quite a word "Heart" isn't it? Well I hope that got to the "heart" of the mater as far as the meaning of heart. :-) Just a note; the word "soul' is found in all three lists of synonyms! Here are some verses that might be what you are looking for on the other question. I Pray that God open our eyes of understanding of His Holy Word. God bless John MarkĀ 7:15-23 there is nothing outside the man which can defile him if it goes into him; but the things which proceed out of the man are what defile the man. ["If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."] When he had left the crowd and entered the house, His disciples questioned Him about the parable. And He said to them, "Are you so lacking in understanding also? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him, because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?" (Thus He declared all foods clean.) And He was saying, "That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness. All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man." |

Thanks for the answer. This was a good explaination and direction of the word heart. Yeah it's interesting to think about what goes into a man doesn't defile him, but what comes out of a man does defile him. But doesnt' mean we should not worry about what goes in us because the bible does say guard our hearts. Sometimes it's hard to not let anything into our hearts and thinking. I think we all know that. I Appreciate the help God bless.. |
