What you see has nothing to do with the person’s intent.
That’s why the police question many people at an accident scene. Perspective means a lot.

It doesn’t matter what anyone sees, rather what that person’s intent is. Once cannot know that without knowing that person’s heart.

What a man intends is of no interest to God, The Jews believed they were dancing around an image of their God.. God did not care what they thought in their hearts..He cared about truth

Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Wellllllllllllllllllllll . . .

Scripture asserts . . . that out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

Of course it's hazardous to infer overmuch detail about the intents of the heart from observing words and behaviors.

HOWEVER, IT'S ALSO FOOLHARDY TO PRETEND

THAT WORDS AND ACTIONS HAVE

NO

CORRELATION
WITH THE HEART MOTIVES,
THE INTENTS OF THE HEART.

THAT'S ALL THE MORE TRUE when one is observing a wealth of words and behaviors over a considerable length of time dealing with a diversity of situations, contexts, issues, factors etc.
