I haven't moved anywhere. You are just understanding me better. :-) Debbie wrote: > To your question about the Light > --not from deep within myself. Interesting answer. I would like to hear more elaboration on this. Does God bring light to you from outside yourself? Do you hear him audibly, or what exactly do you mean?

Huh? Proverbs 20:27 (27) The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly. I had hoped you would look at that more, but you seem to be seeing something else here than I do. Have you considered this passage in relation to 1 Cor. 2:10-11 and John 7:38?

So how do you think of "spirit" and how do you understand this passage (Prov. 20:27), or is it just a mystery to you and means nothing? Peace be with you.
