Subject: Call those things that are not |
Bible Note: Dear EdB, Thanks again for you response. In regards to the challenge, I do in depth Bible study and every time I do I learn something new, but perhaps something I said has led you to the conlusion that I do not. So I went back through your postings to me on this thread and found the following statement by you, "I think just the opposite is true. I think much of the problem today is because men have put away what the bible has told them and rely on their "sincere heart". I think you have said this because of what I said, in reference to Matt 13:15, that people need to search and understand with a sincere heart. To say one must understand with his heart is figurative. We see that figuratively speaking, the Greek word for heart kardia, is in reference to the mind. Greek 2588 in the Strongs is the word for heart in Matt 13 as follows, kardia (kar-dee-ah); prolonged from a primary kar (Latin, cor, "heart"); the heart, i.e. (figuratively) the thoughts or feelings (mind); also (by analogy) the middle: KJV - (broken-) heart (-ed).
