<LOL> My, my my... Chung makes another neologism of "discerning." In
common usage it merely means discriminating. It doesn't mean "knowing"
things without any basis for the knowledge. Synonyms are descry,
discriminate, distinguish, penetrate, perceive, judge.
Discernment is the power or faculty of the mind by which it
distinguishes one thing from another; acuteness of judgement; power of
perceiving differences of things or ideas, insight, acumen.
Discerning is to make rational judgements about the information at
hand. It isn't about "knowing" through some occult method.

<LOL> Right, neighbor. But since all the important and most of the
unimportant translations are online, your comment is ridiculous. The
bible is on *many* web sites in its entirety in many translations -
none of which support your contentions. None agrees with your besotted
self-description. The truth is simple. In this case.
No biblical support for this "gift" you claim. Don't agree? Cite.
