The heart versus the Bible? Here are a few passages, directly from the Bible itself upon that subject: (see http://www.hti.umich.edu/r/rsv/ ) Psalms Chapter 15: [2] He who walks blamelessly, and does what is right, and speaks truth from his heart; [3] who does not slander with his tongue, and does no evil to his friend, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor; [4] in whose eyes a reprobate is despised, but who honors those who fear the LORD; who swears to his own hurt and does not change; [5] who does not put out his money at interest, and does not take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved. [7] I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me. Psalms, Chapter 19: [8] the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; Psalms, Chapter 37: [31] The law of his God is in his heart; his steps do not slip. Proverbs, Chapter 2: [10] for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul; Ecclesiastes, Chapter 10: [2] A wise man's heart inclines him toward the right, but a fool's heart toward the left. Romans, Chapter 5: [5] and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us. Romans, Chapter 6: [17] But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, 2 Timothy, Chapter 2: [22] So shun youthful passions and aim at righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call upon the Lord from a pure heart.
