What is the difference between these two scriptures (in the context of this thread), and what percentage of the people do you think fall under each?
13 To some it is given by the Holy Ghost to know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that he was crucified for the sins of the world. 14 To others it is given to believe on their words, that they also might have eternal life if they continue faithful. http://scriptures.lds.org/en/dc/46

Course we have a number of those singles in that age bracket still going to our ward. I feel bad for them and most of the girls in the ward are very creeped out by them.

Having listened to two sides of a lawsuit each claim that they "know" what they saw or what was said really amounts to nothing more than an expression of their belief in what they saw/heard after the passage of time. I like William James' discussion of the topic in "The Varieties of Religious Experience." He explains much more eloquently than I ever could the difference/similarity between these methods of perception. |

As used by Rocky, intellectual is nothing more than a pejorative term for someone he disagrees with.

And in that context, it's probably a pretty descriptive term.

I think the problem is what we consider "knowledge." If I asked if any of you know when the battle of Cannae took place, you would all respond "Why, 216 BC, of course." But how many of you KNOW that the battle of Cannae took place in 216? None of you saw it; if you had seen it, there are good odds you wouldn't have recognized it, and you CERTAINLY wouldn't have had any means of discerning, amidst the ruckus, that Jesus would be born 216 years later. If, in fact, you knew that the battle of Cannae took place in 216, it is because you have sufficient evidence for so believing-- which, in this case, is little more than what you've read in a few history books. When I say that I know the Book of Mormon is true, or that Jesus Christ is the son of God, et cetera, it is because I've come across enough evidence to so convince me that it is the case. Others may not accept as persuasive what experiences I've had; so be it.

They came very close with one girl in particular. I guarantee you she would have been stopped in a married ward. |

I believe in Christ.
We usually play the song much too slowly, but the sentiment is lovely. |
