Dec 15, 2014 · The heart is our hidden center, beyond the grasp of our reason and of others; only the Spirit of God can fathom the human heart and know it fully. The heart is the place of decision, deeper than our psychic drives. It is the place of truth, where we choose life or death.
Jan 30, 2017 · Long before the discovery of the heart’s conduction system, Aquinas held that the heart’s motion is caused by something intrinsic to the heart. He believed that the heart’s motion is a kind of “pushing and pulling,” and, even though he accepted the false position that diastole is the heart’s active motion, his basic point is not far off the mark.

Psychology as related to theology. The method of handling this study of the heart will be Biblical and theological. It will not be dealt with from the standpoint of psychological inquiry. Some who have constructed a system of Biblical psychology have their reconceived ideas from psychology. They would come to the Scriptures and find proof for ...
It is necessary to understand terms as they proceed from the mind of the author. It is this author’s belief that the immaterial make-up of man is dichotomous, that is, it is body and soul- spirit, or material and immaterial. It is not our object to argue this point, but to leave it with those who are attempting such proof. As one studies this ...
