Well the idea of a rational/irrational separation and distinction comes from Greek philosphy or paganism I thought. In the minds of God, Christ and the authors of the bible, when something is written there is always a corresponding and associated emotion understood to be present. The soul , afterall, is not just thoughts, but also emotions. The word joy is used frequently throughout the bible. The words love and peace are also used. These are not concepts or thoughts, they are emotions and feelings. You can't "think peaceful" or "think joyful" today, you "feel peaceful" and "feel joyful" . These are all feelings. Love, joy and peace are the associated emotions accompanying faith in God. Often Christ did something because He felt compassion towards the person. Besides joy, peace, and love, there is also compassion, delight, ectasy, zeal and fervour. These are all or involve emotions last time I checked.
