the heart needs energy to survive ,, tell me if the brain damaged kid does not feed herself what happens to the heart
A brain damaged kid/adult cannot feed themselves.
If it is severe enough then life support is given in the hope that the brain recovers.
If not it's switched off and the heart will stop beating and a final breath will bring death.

But a person can be brain damaged not physically but emotionally and psychologically and it damages the heart but they still live.

Live with a damaged heart that to me is also controlled by the conscious and sub conscious.
The conscious will have paradigms that control but also the sub conscious does as well.

So to me God heals the paradigms of the conscious and reveals the paradigms of the sub conscious.

I think of it as healing and renewing of the mind.

Conscious and sub being dealt with by the master surgeon

I Am not talking about the human heart that is a muscle in your chest which pumps blood, I am talking about the human heart (Kardia) that the Bible talks about, or the inner being,

prov 23:7 - For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, But his heart is not with you.

James 1: 26 -
If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.

these are not talking about the heart which pumps blood,
AMEN....the seat of intellect

yeah...the spirit is supposed to be in charge

what happens when fallen mankind uses it? or for that matter soulish Christians? or is that an oxy moron?

Yep, yep...good stuff 7......This is why this thread is thousands of pages of bloviation and some have no clue....the light bulb starts to go off once people find out they are truly a 3 part being....kinda makes them get out sin-consciousness theology and into righteousness consciousness theology....and silly debates that take thousands of pages to refute, distort and argue over, vanish over night....

uh

the heart is an organ pumping blood through your body

the heart is used FIGURATIVELY in scripture

the Bible says to renew our minds...not our hearts

just sain'

I saw what you wrote to Jim, so I understand what you are saying, but as a man thinketh so is he...not the heart
Is it not used figuratively of the mind as well.....

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Does not the bible say that out of the mind proceeds the evil....Did not Jesus say if you think it you have committed it already....?

The word heart is used with a few applications....one is in reference to the seat of intellect and or the MIND...right?

well, it makes for good advertising

sad there is nothing new under the sun

at any rate, 'how firm a foundation' sure nuff means more than bloviation and why does that word make me think of a big spotted cow full of gas? :p

neither side has it right and when anyone tries to insert the voice of reason, from the big black leather bound volume on the coffee table with all the marriages and stuff written in it, they are immediately labelled religious

all the while notwithstanding that doing such a thing acutely demonstrates a dogma of their own putrification...uh...er....pontification

does your dog not return to its own vomit ? wow
that seems to be more of an expression what with the low view of dogs in scripture

now vultures on the other hand gather to feast on the dead, don't they

and they hang around, circling and circling and circling...like that

until they find something they can land on and then they dig in
