Thinking about emotions
Tony Payne writes on a related issue to my entry True Belief:
Emotions, I am assured, are an important part of who we are as humans created by God, and so Christian faith should also be emotional in some way. It’s not enough just to think and to do; there’s something a bit wrong with us if we don’t also feel….
[T]he assumption seems to be that experiencing these emotions is an indicator of, or even a path to, spiritual maturity and intimacy with God.
I don’t agree.
