Yes discernment means to judge well...to judge equivalently.
Meaning it is possible to judge through the discernment of evidence and logic, as well as with feeling.
I don't believe they are polar opposites.
Intuition is a very real thing....
It means to judge well, not to judge well meaningfully. By definition feeling, noun or verb has no synonym with discern, discernment. In my opinion, in my "feeling", in my "intuition", the pervasive uncertainty of most of the meanings feeling has attributed to it, to say that you can discern with feeling is like saying you can see with your touch.
Thats not true. I can discern if someone is going to rob me with feeling....I've been robbed before and would have been fine if id trusted my insticts aka feelings.
You can judge with your feelings, so instead of saying that you're feeling, you have a sensation that you will be robbed, a doubt, a hankering or a feeling, or even intuition or instinct, the feeling that you have is in fact a mental faculty that allows you do see, and not just touch, because sight and touch AREN'T interchangable, or are they also, just like feeling and discernment you can say "i can discern that I will be robbed, simply because I have a feeling " or "I have a feeling that I will be robbed, simply because I judge well". What a laugh. What keeps you from admitting that your comments here are nonsense, that you cannot even admit that discernment doesn't mean to judge well meaningfully like you said, and that figures of speech or not, there are things which can be judged well, as being either black or white, or both, but I don't have to feel my way into the conversation to KNOW that.
To judge well meaningfully doesn't define discernment.
To say you can judge with feelings, or you can feel with judgement is exactly like saying "I can feel with my taste". You yourself have said that "I can discern if someone is going to rob me with feeling....I've been robbed before and would have been fine if id trusted my insticts aka feelings." You have yet to tie discernment with feeling, or explain how you reached that observation: that you will be robbed,and why you disregarded that observation formed through judging well with feeling, because your own admissions more or less says " I don't trust my ability to judge well based on feelings".
