Many Christians, especially those who call themselves ‘radical followers of Jesus’ who want want the dust of Jesus’ feet to fall on them, are increasingly trying to explain spiritual related matters in terms of visible and tangible matter or substance – like the brain. The brain itself cannot emanate thoughts and actions. It is merely the physical mechanism that translates and transmits non-physical sentiments (love, hope, compassion, anger, resentment, pity, anxiety, etc.), which arise in the non-physical soul, to the body and to others. By doing this, they are deliberately attributing bad and destructive behavioral actions and experiences to chemical reactions in the brain in response to external stimuli in stead of to the inherent corruption and sinfulness of man’s heart (soul and spirit). (Jeremiah 17:9)
