being emotional can be a great hindrance, I am sure God is emotional...yet the bible is not an emotional book.
Man is in his natural state body, soul and spirit...but his spirit is dead in trespasses and sins...so his soul takes over in matters that relate to his inner self, it is from there that our emotions [passions] reign supreme.
When we's saved our spirits come ALIVE
Our saved state is spirit, soul and body...we have to learn how to walk as spiritual in the Holy Spirit keeping emotions in their proper place.
