No, you're right.Jer 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? is where we learn what sin is, and that will not be written on our hearts until after the return of Yeshua.
Written on your heart" is a euphemism for memorization or complete knowledge. Who do you know that knows by heart?
Dan C
I think it's more than just knowing the by heart...the boundaries of what is permissible, and what is not, have to be engraved into our being, as if they were instincts. We are given power of a kind when we become Incorrupt...we will be like the angels in some ways, and we have to be prevented from misusing our new abilities.

You can't fully define sin without . The teaches us right and wrong. I am wrong about most Christians not having the definition of sin, it's written on our hearts! I do stand corrected on the kingdom of God and Heaven, it looks like they are used interchangeably, thanks Jimmie. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk You are welcome. To be honest, I had never considered them as possibly being two separate things, until I read your earlier post. So I had to do a quick study to confirm and ground my believes in scripture. Thus, I owe you a thanks, also.

It has occurred to me that during our discussion of the Kingdom of Heaven/God we have not defied what the term means.
(Mat 18:1 KJV) At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? (Mat 18:8 KJV) Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. 9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
(Mat 19:16 KJV) And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
(Mat 25:14 KJV) For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
So one aspect of the Kingdom of Heaven is eternal life.
