All throughout the bible we read about "hardened hearts", knowing in thy
heart, god seeing into our hearts, etc.
Until fairly recently (100 yrs. ago or so) it was always believed that
the heart was the seat of intelligence instead of the brain.
In an inerrant book, wouldn't Omni-max Yahweh know the difference? I
don't think you can explain all of this away as figurative speaking,
when this was a universal misconception.
Maybe after scientists discovered this, god started hardening heads
instead.
Why would god permit such misinformation to be transmitted into his
inerrant holy book?
