Isaiah 55:8The numbers look correct. In which of those verses does 'thought' appear more than once?
(Hint: there are 5 verses in which it appears exactly twice in each verse.)
Isaiah 55:9
Isaiah 59:7
Jeremiah 29:11
Matthew 6:34
Does thought(s) actually control us

Interesting thread.
Agree with RedTent, heart and mind are the same, it is different language used at it different times. The actual heart is an organ in the body.
"Heart" in scripture means the seat of man, his very core.
The question is what is consciousness, that is where the debate lies is it in the mind or something intangible?
Regardless, Jesus calls us to give all our reasoning, feelings, and deciding over to him to rule. That's the constant struggle of the Christian life. We can begin and continue doing it by claiming Jesus' victory in his death to sin and rising for our new life.
Out of all this what topic are you wanting clarification on? Is the question - 1) stay at home with a contentious woman, or 2) get out of the house so you can think?

Matthew 25:21
Thank you for the inspiration .
Amen Paul’s letters arent written to teach doctrine to non believers , but to people who had already believed and joined the church.
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free
from the law of sin and death.
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
…But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”
Romans 8:1-2, 5-6, 9-14 KJV
pauos telling believers this who heard the gospel and believes prior to his letter
“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
John 6:63 KJV
“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.”
John 18:37 KJV
“if so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: that ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; and be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”
Ephesians 4:21-24 KJV
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.”
Romans 1:16-17 KJV
To accept and believe the gospel saves us and also is Gods power to exchange our sin for righteousness as we hear and believe and grow in faith.
“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Romans 10:17
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
Romans 12:1-2 KJV
Romans 8:1-2; 5:57 + 58b
John 8:36 plus Romans 8:2 If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death.
You are ever so very much welcome, bro! I just counted the number of faces hair elements eyes etc that I tried and did not use for that panel and there are over 60!!! LOL. That's a lot. I finally just went and got new ephemera, starting with this face, and then changing the eyes and mouth, hat etc. I am glad you like it, and designing this panel has helped to bring me out of my hiatus a bit more... So thank you!!!
No. I just Googled synonyms for thoughts. Desire wasn't on the list. Now I wouldn't exactly call this definitive evidence, but it's a start.
1.) I think you're appealing to some fairly arbitrary and subjective definitions of words (e.g. emotions, thoughts, heart etc..)
2.) When we have our own subjective definitions for words, we can find whatever meaning we want.... and then we can use that to build whatever conclusion we want.
3.) As we work at defining these terms more carefully, we may reach some different conclusions.
Have a great week.

What's in a name?
When people have a "discussion" around a thesis, in which they have divergent views, and they ask each other questions, and give each other answers, and challenge each other's responses while making a case for their preferred view... that pretty much fits the definition of a friendly, informal DEBATE.
You are free to call it whatever you like.
In this forum you regularly take an opposing view to other members, challenge them, rebut them, and give counter arguments in order to forward your own view... most people would call this thing you do all the time... a debate.
Again, you are free to call it whatever you like.... any name works fine for me.
"What's in a name? That which we call a debate by any other name would smell as sweet."

Cameron, one more thing.
Having a "friendly debate" or "spirited discussion" or whatever you want to call these things... it doesn't, for me, indicate any other opinions or feelings beyond the discussion itself.
I generally agree with your views on almost everything, and I always consider you a good guy. And that doesn't change when I nitpick some odd little bit of doctrinal strangeness... even when I'm giving you a hard time about it.

I found myself in SE Asia during the good ole days of ree-to-reel recordings. There was free reels of music to be listened to at a small building on base. Someone told me i should check out a song by the Funkadelics. It had a risqué title that i shall slightly alter. “Free your mind, and your butt will follow.” I always found the title to be somewhat profound. The Bible talks about being truly free, and for some strange reason, this title reminds me of that Biblical truth.
