well join the club
that's the one we are all talking about and while I may have physically joined the conversation late, I have definitely been here in spirit as a lurker
jokes aside, the heart is used figuratively.

“And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, Why are you thinking evil things in your hearts?” Matt. 9:4
there are other scriptures indicating conscience, purpose etc
the word 'heart' is used for all of them. even so, you cannot purpose to do something without the use of your mind
your conscience is not a physical, tangible thing
your will is determination
none of these things indicates a mystical heart

Not sure what you mean, I got a more deeper understanding f the word when I started to study it in its original language, the English language lacks so much, many words cause confusion instead of clarity,
i did a stdy study on the word kardia when I was in high school opened a whole new understanding how f what the biblical word heart meant

This verse is almost always taken out of context and was/is victim over over indulgent proof texting...
6 Do not eat the bread of a selfish man,
Or desire his delicacies;
[SUP]7 [/SUP]For as he thinks within himself, so he is.
He says to you, “Eat and drink!”
But his heart is not with you.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]You will vomit up the morsel you have eaten,
And waste your compliments.
This is talking about you not eating with a stingy/selfish person, who on the outside offers you food, but secretly worries about how much it will cost them to feed you and really has no desire to be around you...
Not sure when we started thinking this had to do with our own souls....
