Psychology: attitude influences behavior

In the field of psychology, one assumes that attitude predicts behavior. Since one cannot see attitude, one needs to infer attitude from behavior. This is the "converse fallacy" in disguise.
In 1 Samuel 16:7, it is stated that man looks on the "outward appearance". Appearances can be deceiving. Humans tend to look at the outward appearance. God looks at the heart.

1 Samuel 16:7 … for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. [kjv]

Warning: Many modern psychology concepts started with Sigmund Freud who hated religion and the Bible and purposely introduced ideas to go against the Bible such as getting rid of guilt, shame, etc.

1 Samuel 16:7 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. [kjv]

και ειπεν κυριος προς σαμουηλ μη επιβλεψης επι την οψιν αυτου μηδε εις την εξιν μεγεθους αυτου οτι εξουδενωκα αυτον οτι ουχ ως εμβλεψεται ανθρωπος οψεται ο θεος οτι ανθρωπος οψεται εις προσωπον ο δε θεος οψεται εις καρδιαν [lxx]

KJV: But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.

Brenton: But the Lord said to Samuel, Look not on his appearance, nor on his stature, for I have rejected him; for God sees not as man looks; for man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart.

Jesus could know the thoughts of others.

Matthew 9:4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? [kjv]

12:25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: [kjv]

Some pastors will pass this off as an inference that anyone might make. Is that really so?

Only the Creator can know your innermost thoughts.

2 Corinthians 10:7 Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's. [kjv]
