I had to do a double take when Randy suggested that, according to Catholic doctrine, God was simply speaking in idioms - when people actually believed the literal truth of its content, and - at least to some extent - couldn't have been expected to know otherwise.
Could you expand on this, Nestor?
How is the idea that the term "heart", a metaphor or idiom for that innermost place within man, problematic?
What are we really saying when we say that an athlete has "heart" or that we know something to be true in our "heart of hearts".
"heart" is just another way to say emotions. Like you feel god in your "heart" it's just your brain making you feel good giving you pleasant emotions.
Like the one bible passage to think of killing is doing the same as killing in your "heart" just another word for emotions.
