Scientific Explanation Of The Holy Ghost - Page 2
I do wonder about people who no nothing about a particular gospel topic and yet say they know the 'truth' of it or refuse to accept it yet many of these things were taught years ago before the modern church took over the early church.

Ghost Holy The Explanation Scientific
I really Love and admire Brigham Young. He once said
QUOTE "There are things I know and things I don't know." and then gave a very cleaver illustration in the following story. " Shall I take the liberty of telling you a story of the boy who went to the mill? He was looking at the miller's hogs, which were very fat, clean and fine. The miller came out, and seeing the boy attentively observing the pigs said to him, "what are you thinking about?" Said the boy, "I was thinking that millers have fat hog's." "Were you thinking anything else?" said the miller. "Yes." "What was it?" "I do not know whose grain they fed on," said the boy." Brigham Young then went on to say, "Some things I know and some things I do not know:I do not know whose grain the pigs eat, I do know that there are some fat hogs."
I guess thats how I view understanding the Spirt or even the Science that God uses. I know he uses perfect science, math, etc.., but can't determine how it is done, although I know it is real; so I must rely on the Spirt for understanding, although I must admit it is difficult to separate the "Spirit" from "feeling" when "emotions" are high, and I ofter make mistakes between the two.
I know the Spirit is real and is separate from an emotion or feeling. Many times people ask Christians to prove things. I think Brigham Young answers those people about as direct and truthfully as can be done concerning our Maker and Spiritual matters. The point being, the evidence is all there, it is up to the nonbeliever to prove it is not so.
Brigham Young also said
QUOTE "I do not know a great deal, but I say that a man has not good common sense who denies his Maker, such a man is not endowed with reasoning powers. I hold this book in my hand, and I say that for its production from crude element, it required a type founder, paper maker, printer and bookbinder, and by their united exertions the book was made. But the infidel (in B.Y. Days, an infidel was just a non-believer and was not meant to be offensive) bases his argument on the principle that the book is here without a producer; that no type founder, paper maker, printer, nor bookbinder was necessary. Is not a man who argues on this principle a fool? If he is not, he comes pretty near it."

How do you exactly know this? I'm not asking you to prove (which you cannot of course) but how do you personally know how to separate the two?

QUOTE I recall Elder Dunn's fake stories and other examples and people crying and saying they felt the Spirit. I must confess often times I feel like an outcast because I find it absurd.
Well yes, crying over a sad (or happy) story is not necessarily feeling the Spirit.

Comments: Not to sound sexist but most times I see this coming from the sisters. Some of them can be overly sensitive and emotional and not necessarily to the Spirit but just to anything.

I am not so sure if I agree with that statement about sisters. Emotional people exist in both sides, yes women are tender in nature but doesn't mean they cannot differentiate well between emotions and the sweet feeling of the Holy Spirit.

I hear from time to time that the sisters are somehow more spiritual. I disagree with that and consider it to be a bit of Mormon mythology even if taught by a GA in a doctrinal venue. Men and women In my humble opinion simply react differently to the spirit.
