Thoughts and Langauge

Is it possible for understanding and knowledge to go from one person to another without langauge?


Are there experiences that can communicate information but that don't use langauge?


For example, can I know something about God without the use of language or is all thought only in langauge?


Or grilled cheese?

ok... what? grilled cheese? also.. i think these questions are really not purposeful. we were given language. we were given several ways of communicating. so judging why really isnt important. what is important is to appreciate that God gave us the ability

I think it is important. You can't take care of something you don't understand.

Also, understanding the answer to why is the road into God's heart. Even atheists know that the world is, but we Christians can know why God did and we love him for it.

So, yeah of course, grilled cheese.

Someimtes I feel like I was made for distant lands and agricultural awareness. You know, the kind of guy that carries a machete and fights bad guys all in the name of God.
