This is perhaps a question that has already been dealt with on this forum: What is the meaning of the word "heart" as it is used eg. in Deut. 6:5 : You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all you soul, and with all your might" ?

My reason for asking this question is because I hear more and more that people implicitly say that the intellectual side of our faith is not that important. For example, an older man said to me earlier this year that his faith used to be something of the mind in the past but now it is of the heart. But then I also read somewhere that in ancient Hebrew culture the heart (not meaning the physical organ) was linked with intellectual activity.

Thus, is what we mean by "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart" the same as what the meaning was in the original text?
