Thank you, Frank. Yes to experience of God. It seems your definitions rate belief above knowing. I am just the reverse. Belief is, for me, not certainty, it is more hope. But, as I think about it, I believe I know, so, is knowing greater than belief, or is everything we think we know just a belief that we know? For me, knowing seems to carry a level of perceived certainty vs. hope that I know. Yes, the key is experience which leads to both belief and knowing, which ever we rate as the most assuring condition of mind.
Thank you for your thoughts. You never fail to stimulate my thinking. I both believe that, and I know it.
