The Importance of the Human Heart

I think partly Augustine's ideas were based on the fact well, Jesus came via a virgin birth, therefore this sin nature was not transmitted to Jesus. And I'd rather talk about habits and indeed inherited habits than about a nature transmitted in the Augustinian fashion. Yes, I think our problem then comes with the fact that some of the strongest biblical language about sin has to do with the human heart. We don't know quite how much of that's a metaphor and how much of it is almost literally physically true that our hearts and our brains are. You can't love your neighbor as yourself unless you love yourself in an appropriate way. Yeah. Though I understand why and all that. yeah.
