But my original point stands..."heart-felt" in both emotional and faith arenas can lead to the same errors...following "feelings" instead of "truth". I may "feel" and have "faith" that Jews are truly "evil" (as many Germans felt in the 1930's due to the rampant anti-Semitism at the time), and therefore support their destruction. "Fact" is that no race nor people are intrinsicly (sp?) evil, therefore no race should be destroyed. There are many nations and races today that harbor what I would consider to be "heart-felt" beliefs that are in error. Again, "feelings" do not equat to truth.
I agree with your statement that "The "heartfelt" people believe and live their faith as opposed to merely mouthing in and following the litany on Sunday. The belief isn't based on more emotion, the belief infuses their lives."
However, the "heart-felt" belief that infuses their lives isn't necessarily the Truth, and in fact may be evil. Satan uses "feelings" to confuse us.
