Difference between 'knowing' and 'believing'?

Question

Lets say about God or Deity
I get not knowing and so not believing
but knowing and not believing...?

Answer 1

The traditional philosophical definition of knowledge is that it is justified true belief. Therefore it is impossible to know, but not to believe. It is a confusion of termniology.

Answer 2

Believing means we imagine something without any actual feeling, sensing or understanding.

It is a picture without any basis or foundation.

Attaining something, which is the highest form of understanding is when we do not only know something with our mind, but we feel that "in our guts" we actually live through the experience, we become part of that thing we attain, or that thing becomes part of us.

This is the level of understanding or attainment we have to get to regarding the spiritual world, and the creating force.

And we can actually do this here and now, within this lifetime.

All we have to do is open up our desires, and open our eyes.

Answer 3

Knowing trumps belief. If you know for sure than saying you believe is redundant.



It sounds like someone in shock. "I know I saw it, but I just can't believe it."

Answer 4

When you feel electricity, you know it's not an emotion; when you feel the presence of God, you know it. People believe God is non-existent, but they can't know that.

Answer 5

Different forms of epistemology.



One is based on reason and rational thought, the other is based on a hunch.

Answer 6

Knowing and not believing = cynicism I think.

Answer 7

even the devil can 'believe'. It is the Commitment, Actions, and Submission as when we "Know" Him in the first place. Period. <')))><
