Default I know..... - 10-25-2002, 02:57 PM

While some people use God's name in prayer, others use His name in cursing. They seem to think that God's name adds weight to their temper tantrums. It doesn't; in fact, it shows how little they know of God.
If those who curse in God's name really knew Him, they would know that He said, "Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain." Ex.20:7

The word vain normally means "selfish pride" or "conceit". When we say that a person is vain, we mean this person is puffed up with pride, is arrogant in a way that says, "I'm better than everyone else."

E.g. "Oh God!" at the slightest provocation, as if they were on chummy terms with Him. What conceit! Others swear oaths casually in God's name, as if God lent His authority to their word. What vanity!

Let us be more careful how we use the LORD's name lest we be found guilty.

Pebbles.

Labell if the person doesn't know how would they possible not know that they don't know that you know?

Shida,

Since Labell has taken a hike..why don we jaribu? All your applied math could come in handy :)

Okay...you wanna model this how...? Okay you gonna have to rectify this for me I am just doing a first guess.

A: What Rabell Knows
B: What we know

Okay, Rabell claims that A is not equal to B. But he seems to be referring to the overlapping set A=B.

Feel me?

Let me try and figure this out...

~~>I KNOW THAT YOU DON'T KNOW AND I KNOW THAT YOU DON'T KNOW THAT I KNOW-SAYETH RABELL.<~~

Let us call the person who doesn't know - Juma.

Now Juma doesn't know (now you may ask yourself what is it that Juma doesn't know? Don't worry I don't think that's important). So yeah Juma doesn't know. Labell on the other hand doesn't know either. But Labell is at an advantage because he knows that Juma doesn't know.

So now you have Juma who is bila clue, then you have Labell who knows that Juma is bila clue and finally, we should not overlook the fact that Labell also knows that Juma is soo clueless that he doesn't even realise that Labell has discovered that he (Juma) doesn't know.
