That's not really what I was trying to say though. A person could behave contrarily to his heart for a time so as to appear different than his nature, but that would be temporary cloaking. A person could also behave contrarily to his heart and have that mold him via side-effects (like is the case for undercover cops).

Yes, you actions can mold your heart, but in the end the deepest core of your heart will always stay the same. Think Darth Vader. So in essence, no, the heart is not something you can control. Rather it's your identity, your deepest inclinations and desires.

That's what I'm saying, especially at the Bold. From what I understand, some people are just 'stuck' good or evil. Their heart is destined to be good or evil regardless of how much a person tries to change it. They can act good or evil, but their identity will always be the case. It's completely up to luck whether their heart is good or bad.

If that is the case, don't you believe that it's extremely unfair that God judges people over something they have little-to-no control over?
