I think it's quite possible that at least one party may simply NOT be inspired. In my expereince, there seems to be a lot of people who are unable to differentiate strong personal feelings or opinions with actual inspiration. So they just claim they are inspired (and probably honestly think that they are) when really they are just following their noses around.

Actually, Nermalcat, 1 Cor 12 says that discernment is a gift of the Spirit.

Interesting…my patriarchial blessing says something about the “gift of discernment” and I am obviously not a priesthood holder.
I always thought discernment had more to do with the Holy ghost, who could potentially affect all people regardless of gender or religion.

Rick

I don’t see why not. I think everyone is entitled to the spirit of discernment for different issues and at different times.

So does that mean that *I* have the spirit of discernment?

I also do not hold the priesthood, but I know that from time to time I make correct decisions without corroborating evidences.

well considering I don’t hold nor have ever hold the priesthood yet have the spirit of discernment I would highly suggest it does reside in us mere mortal women. And where exactly did you hear this topic of subject before and who was it that was saying it? A man? DUH

I *personally* don’t believe in the ‘spirit of discernment’ at all – but are you telling me that it resides in people other than priesthood holders?

That’d contradict what I had heard on the subject.

ok let me rephrase my question to you… do you really think only a priesthood holder has the power of discernment? there is that clearer?

I don’t know, I guess that’s what I wrote – but if I’m wrong please enlighten me.
