The word
‘heart’
|
In the four gospels of the KJV Bible
the word ‘spirit’, or ‘Spirit’,
has four meanings:
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
God’s Spirit . . . . . . . . . 23 times (0 spoken by Jesus)
a demon spirit . . . . . . . 31 times
(3 spoken by Jesus)
a human spirit(ghost) . . 7 times (3 spoken by Jesus)
the spirit(core) . . . . . . . 18 times (9 spoken by Jesus).

two meanings of the word ‘spirit’., , .

Regarding only humans (regarding the last two):
in the Bible, the word spirit:
sometimes
means ghost
but usually
means core,
of these usual
instances:
Jesus usually uses the word spirit
to
mean core,
|
hence,
so far in this site:
I’ve
called the core of a human
the spirit(core).
|
HUMAN BRAIN spirit(core) soul
culture
|
.
|
I
didn’t call the core of a human
the heart
because, biblically,
the word heart
does not always
mean core.
Sometimes the word heart
means core:
Matt c22 v37 Mark c12 v30 Luke c10 v27
But the heart can also:
think: Matt c9 v4 Matt c15 v19 Luke c2 v35 c9 v47 c24 v38
reason: Mark c2 v6 Mark c2 v8 Luke c5 v22
understand: Matt c13 v15 John c12 v40
ponder: Luke c2 v19
imagine: Luke c1 v51
muse: Luke c3 v15
doubt: Mark c11 v23.
All of which are functions
of the mind.
Hence, in the four gospels of the KJV Bible:
The word heart could mean core.
But it could also mean mind, which is part of the soul.
So the word heart is ambiguous.
|
HUMAN
BRAIN heart spirit(core) soul
culture
|
Hence it seems I’ve done the right thing
to call the core of a human
the spirit(core),
and not the heart.
|
.
|
|
However,
Jesus, to define the core:
a) Used the word heart 47
times
(which is more often
than the word spirit, at
9 times).
b) Used the word heart
more
expressively
than he used the
word spirit.

ATTITUDE TO THE BIBLE.,,,,,

Therefore, from here on:
I’ll no longer call
the core of a human
the spirit(core).
I’ll call
the core of a human
the heart/spirit.
