    I thought his comment on the heart was just some made up bs. Turns out no, it’s not. It’s an old testament verse, but still in the Bible. As an aside, why do the evangelicals love the old testament so much? Is it because it gives more of a right to be judgy?

    From a skeptical translation point of view, I want to know if the word heart means the same thing today as it did then.
