As time meandered through the Renaissance and into the Enlightenment, the proliferation of paper became synonymous with the dispersion of knowledge, creativity, and the inexorable forward march of innovation and discovery. The right paper weight can transform a simple brochure into a compelling tactile experience, endorsing professionalism without saying a word. In the end maybe you're right and a healthy church has a mix of both types of people. I can think of people (it's easy in the CoC) who were exactly the absolutely-sure type you describe, who, in a kind of familial way, accepted others graciously who were different without ever "backing down" from their certainty. With my CoC background, I find it interesting how many members equate this "feeling of knowing" with faith. For another alternative, you can find ­out where local landscapers get their plants and supplies. The plate is devoted to supporting our local farmers by providing their quality ingredients throughout the year. As I have been reflecting on some things that are happening in my local congregation, your observations fit into those reflections.

But overall, you would have a vastly more open intellectual range for being uncertain about things because they wouldn't all be threads that could threaten to unravel the garment your experience of certainty is based on. The frightening part of this is when one claims to know with certainty the will of God for the rest. So I do know people like that. All you need to know is that these are exactly as tough as you’ll need them to be when it comes to hauling out a whole animal. Meanwhile, I define faith as having a healthy dose of doubt and the possibility that I'm wrong about the whole thing. Like a staunch Republican whose best friend is a Democrat, and who can argue (happily and kindly) for hours on end -- though never truly contemplating his/her view being wrong. 2) I am wondering what the divide is between people who "delight" in the feeling of knowing, and who mentally/emotionally can't pull themselves out of the fear that "if" they consider X belief, its effect would be the toppling of the house of cards that is faith. The cards come with security features such as CVV and OTP, making it difficult for pink towels hackers and scammers to use them for fraudulent activities.

We also try to use least amount of plastics in our shipments for delivery through online portals. Our reviewers considered everything from delivery process to comfort level, and then we compiled our mattress reviews in one place. A personal pronoun can be in one of three "persons." A first-person pronoun refers to the speaker, a second-person pronoun refers to the person being spoken to, and a third-person pronoun refers to the person being spoken of. In doing that, I think he yanks us out of being ultimately rooted in the Hellenistic soil where fact and certainty are the matters of ultimate concern so that we can put roots down back in the Hebraic land where it's relationship above all. For example, if a literalist considers interpreting the Bible differently, and their faith is built on the fact that Christian faith is only legitimate if the Bible is read literally, then they are not being cocksure because of any positive feeling; rather, they (rightly?) are fearful of losing their faith. I guess I worry about my doubts, not so much because of what my church teaches but because of stuff in the bible - the commandments to believe, Jesus telling people their faith has saved/healed them.

Here, you’re talking about elderly people in general. I think the distinction that you make at the end of the post -- between people who are sure and those who aren't mixed -- is suspect. Is that a legitimate distinction? Reading improves your brain. That makes me, I feel, a privileged reader, even a companion of my own reading. Mice and rats can chew through cardboard packaging -- and you might not even notice they've made a dent in your stash. We understand the intricacies associated with aligning components, materials, and system that will increase your building’s performance. Due to the unique properties of the Rift, including its wide field of vision and head-tracking abilities, games and other applications will have to be specifically made to work with the device. Assuming for the moment that a feeling of certainty is a good and valuable thing to have in a life of faith, what if we sought to ground that in something other than dogmatic knowledge? I realized I hardly believe anything, just have hopes. This is something I've been musing on for some time as "theological minimalism." Thanks for providing the trigger to get me to actually put some thoughts into writing.
