[QUOTE="talitha, post: 60964839, member: 90547"] For a long time there has been a debate between people who say that you must have a mental understanding of Christian doctrine and others who say that you must have an experience of feeling God's love. While those are important, I think this debate is leaving something out. The mind cogitates and understands, the heart feels, but the spirit [I]knows[/I]. This "knowing" is really hard to describe. The Bible says that it's impossible for the fleshly mind to understand the things of the spirit - the mind is not designed to connect with spiritual things. I think I like oi antz's wording: "sharp intuitive recognition" - that is the closest I've heard to a workable description of the spirit-function of "knowing". [/QUOTE]
