[B-Greek] 1John 3:19-20

Hi,
I am fairly new to the Bible and very new to Greek. Prior to reading the 
Bible
I had almost no interest in literature or language- please allow me one or
two newbie questions.

My question is basically about all the words that appear in 1John 3:19,20.
In general, can the word translated as "heart" be taken to mean "emotions"?
And, can the original for "condemn" be taken to mean any negative emotion
that prevents us from growing or coming towards God(fear,guilt, low 
self-worth) ?
I'd like to twist/force the text to read something like " the logos aspect 
of God
is greater than our emotions" but I have no idea how far off this could be
based on the original words and context.
How is "heart" different from the love aspect of God?

Does the word for "truth" have any particular relatioship to any words used 
to
describe God- logos, love, spirit - besides the direct statement made in 
John 14:6
( or is this even the same word that is translated as "truth"?).

( I'm still looking through on-line Greek reference suggestions I've seen 
posted
to this list but it will take quite a while for me to be able to even 
pretend
to read Greek...
Yes, I have searched the archive somewhat- I found "chicken liver" is a bad
translation of logos and I decided not to even try the other terms until I 
got
some basic guidance...)

Thanks.
