When you prayed did it ever work?

Thanks for your answer. I can't really comment on that because I simply don't see how anything from a book is valid evidence of God. You clearly disagree on that.

And like I said I merely misinterpreted 'we know his will as we test it against himself' to mean we know his will as we test his will against himself. I didn't realize that the 'it' was referring to 'prayer' which was mentioned in a previous sentence. That is all.

Please show me where I said that sentence you keep quoting.

I don't see the book as evidence in the way I think you demand. If it were that evidence I would expect to lay it down as sole proof and rest at that. It's information to take or leave, purposefully. It never seeks to prove God. It assumes God, because that was the cultural norm of its authors. We're it written now, the distinction would be made, because a modern audience wouldn't assume God. The book reflects the direct experience of believers. It doesn't force something foreign onto us.
