The Intellect Verses The Heart

[Daniel Marsh]

Ah in the Bible the Heart is the Intellect. 

 

Exodus 35:5
Gather special gifts for the Lord. Each of you should decide in your heart what you will give. And then you should bring that gift to the Lord. Bring gold, silver, and bronze;

Deuteronomy 6:5

You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.

Deuteronomy 7:17
The Lord Promises to Help His People
“Don’t say in your heart, ‘These nations are stronger than we are. How can we force them out?’

Matthew 3:2
John said, “Change your hearts and lives, because God’s kingdom is now very near.”

Romans 2:15
They show that in their hearts they know what is right and wrong, the same as the law commands, and their consciences agree. Sometimes their thoughts tell them that they have done wrong, and this makes them guilty. And sometimes their thoughts tell them that they have done right, and this makes them not guilty.

Romans 10:9
If you openly say, “Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart that God raised him from death, you will be saved.

 

1 Corinthians 4:5
So don’t judge anyone now. The time for judging will be when the Lord comes. He will shine light on everything that is now hidden in darkness. He will make known the secret purposes of our hearts. Then the praise each person should get will come from God.

 

1 Corinthians 7:37
But another man might be more sure in his mind. There may be no need for marriage, so he is free to do what he wants. If he has decided in his own heart not to marry his fiancée, he is doing the right thing.

 

There are 286 verses that shows thinking was associated with one's heart, not our brains.

INTELLECT /  MANS  WISDOM ????

 

PSALM 56:5  every day they wrest  MY  words all their thoughts are against  ME for evil

LUKE 4:4  and  JESUS  answered him  ---it is written--- that man shall  --not live-- by bread alone but by every word of  GOD 

 

HOW  DOES  ANY  PERSON  LEARN  TO  NOT  BE  A  FALSE  WITNESS

 

ACTS  17:11  these were more noble than those in thessalonica in that they received the word of  GOD  with ---all readiness of mind---and searched the scriptures ---daily---whether those things were so 

PROVERBS 22:20  have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge 

--22:21-- that  I  might make thee know the certainty of ---the words of truth---that thou mightest answer ---the  words of truth--- to them that send unto thee

 

PROVERBS 6:16  these six things doth  THE  LORD  hate yea seven are an abomination unto  HIM 

--6:17-- a proud look a lying tongue and hands that shed innocent blood 

--6:18-- an heart that deviseth wicked imaginations feet that be swift in running to mischief 

--6:19-- a false witness that speaketh lies and he that soweth discord among brethren

 

MATTHEW 26:24  THE  SON  OF  MAN  goeth as it is written of  HIM  but woe unto that man by whom  THE  SON  OF  MAN  is betrayed it had been good for that man if he had not been born 

 

                    ***************************************

MARK 8:35  for whosoever will save his life shall lose it but whosoever shall lose his life ---for  MY  sake and the gospels-----the same shall save it 

JOHN 5:34  but I receive not testimony from man but these things I say ---that you might be saved---

                    ***************************************

 

ROMANS 10:13  for whosoever shall call upon the name of  THE  LORD  shall be saved 

ACTS 3:26  unto you first  GOD  having raised up  HIS  SON  JESUS  sent  HIM  to bless you in turning away everyone of you from his iniquities

2 TIMOTHY 2:19  nevertheless ---the foundation of  GOD--- standeth sure having this seal  THE  LORD  knoweth them that are  HIS  and let everyone that nameth the name of  CHRIST  depart from iniquity

 

PROVERBS 28:9  he that turneth away his ear from hearing the law --- even his prayer --- shall be abomination --- 

 

ACTS 3:22 for moses truly said a prophet shall  THE  LORD  YOUR  GOD  raise up unto you of your brethren like unto me  HIM  shall you hear in  ---all things--- whatsoever  HE  shall say unto you 

--3:23-- and it shall come to pass ---that  every  soul--- which will not hear that prophet shall be ---destroyed from among the people 

 

JOHN 5:42 but I know you that you have not the love of  GOD  in you 

--5:43--  I am come in  MY  FATHERS  name and you receive  ME  not if another shall come in his own name him you will receive 

 

LOVING  THE  LORD  JESUS  CHRIST

If the scriptures gave us life and the Pharisees possessed those scriptures, why did the Lord say, "But you do not have His word abiding in you"? 

Because they took that Word and twisted it to their own understanding... They thought just because they were of the physical line of Abraham that they were saved. They thought this world was God's promised land and they built all hope upon it... YET they had clear indicators from God's Word that it would not be
Isa 65:17

17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
KJV
So they didn't have God's Word in them but one of their own making...

You cannot convolute the truth and still have truth... so when God's says
2 Tim 3:15-17

15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
KJV

It is the same people are doing now of this generation as they build upon things God is not keeping~ supposing He is.... like some believe the kingdom of God is of this present age here on earth- yet God specifically tells us He rules in perfect light and there is no darkness in Him at all
1 John 1:5

5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
KJV

How then could this world be His Kingdom when we are told this
Eph 6:12

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
KJV

The Scripture says only one truth but if it is twisted it is no longer what the Scripture says... as God said
2 Peter 3:16-18

16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
KJV

Was there ever a time when God was God in Israel?

Was there ever a time when the Land was Holy/set aside from the rest of the world?

THE  BUILDER 

 

PSALM 127:1  except  THE  LORD  build the house they labor in vain that build it except  THE  LORD  keep the city the watchman waketh but in vain 

JEREMIAH 22:13  ---woe unto him that ---buildeth his house by unrighteousness--- and his chambers by wrong that useth his neighbors service without wages and giveth him not for his work

 

PROVERBS 8:8  all the words of  MY  mouth are in righteousness there is nothing froward or perverse in them 

PROVERBS 8:20  I lead in the way of righteousness in the midst of the paths of judgement

JOHN 6:63  it is the spirit that quickeneth the flesh profiteth nothing the words that --I speak-- unto you they are spirit and they are life

 

PROVERBS 10:16  the labor of the righteous tendeth to life the fruit of the wicked to sin 

PSALM 140:8  grant not  O LORD  the desires of the wicked further not his wicked device lest they exalt themselves   selah

 

PSALM 107:15  oh that men would praise  THE  LORD  for  HIS  goodness and for  HIS  wonderful works to the children of men

PSALM 105:1  o give thanks unto  THE  LORD  call upon  --HIS  name-- make known --HIS-- deeds among the people

 

ROMANS 1:21  because that when they knew  GOD  ---they glorified  HIM  not as  GOD  --- neither were they thankful but became vain in their imaginations and they foolish heart was darkened

 

LOVING  THE  LORD  JESUS  CHRIST

Greetings,

It is interesting how you mention intellect and a person’s heart, I remember before my born again experience I struggled at school with concepts and could not understand principals and this was carried over to my adult life.

I believe people with intellectual disabilities have an IQ under 70, Forest Gumps IQ was 75 and my IQ test is about 73.

This is pretty accurate and I was comfortable and confident socially but had little to minimum academic ability what soever.

Then the day I got born again my born again encounter was the day when God took all my weaknesses and turned them onto my strengths and at the time I had no idea.

It only become evident when I went out and started sharing the good news, that it was through the word of God that I become discipled and educated and by God’s grace I was able to understand concepts principals and became articulated in my communication and interactions with others.

God bestowed his grace and gift upon my life, and granted me the academic and intellectual ability to understand information and yet my IQ is still 73 and I am so grateful to God that he had mercy on me.

As for the heart I was off to the pub that night and when I picked up my brother from the airport and dropped him off at his home, he shared the good news with us and I reluctantly accepted because I had an ulterior motive to go to heaven in case, I died at the pub that night and instead had a radical born again encounter which again by Gods mercy changed my life forever.

My intentions and motives were selfish and yet God still embraced me with all my transgressions so I can only testify that the goodness of God does lead us to repentance.

Peace

He is indeed living and powerful (Jesus - the living Word).  He is not the Bible.

Heb. 4:10-14 (MKJV)

10 For he who has entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from His. 

  11 Therefore let us labor to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of unbelief.
  12 For the word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing apart of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
  13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight, but all things are naked and opened to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.
  14 Since then we have a great High Priest who has passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

You mean Jesus isn't paper and ink  common on! No one claimed such! However the Bible is God's written Word and it is all that is necessary for the Christian

no intuitions, feeling, internalized assumptions etc... just The Word of The Lord is sufficient...
