But that doesn't make sense in the way that the word, heart is used by most Christians. So, the laws of god are written on man's natural yearning for god? When Christians say that they feel god in their heart are they really saying that they feel god in their natural yearning for god? That sounds strange.
Yes, I suppose the nightly orgies and baby eating rituals that we have at my house while watching porn and drinking copious amounts of alcohol do make it difficult to hear anything.
Non Calvinist Protestants tend to use it in the term that people are ordered towards doing good. Catholics use it a bit differently to mean they have a yearning driving them to seek out the fullness of truth, i.e The Roman Catholic Church.
