The Seat of Man's Intellect: What Says Your God?

RE: The Seat of Man's Intellect: What Says Your God?
(August 29, 2015 at 2:06 pm)Spooky Wrote: "Heart" as it refers to intelligence/soul/equivalent I consider something of an abstract.  As with any abstract, a definite answer isn't always sure to exist.

Is this another attempt on religion's part to control and catalog everything within its own definitions?
What does "heart" have to do with "intelligence" or "soul" or "mind"? The assumption is that either God knows how to use the words he's causing his communicators to write down for all of history, or that the people who wrote the word "heart" understood exactly what everyone - such as Aristotle or Tertullian - would take it to signify: the seat of man's intellect, soul, ruling faculty, whatever you want to call it.
He who loves God cannot endeavour that God should love him in return - Baruch Spinoza
