Putting God to the Test

[FutureAndAHope]

FutureandHope, I've promised God in prayer that if the right person says the right words to me, that I'll do my best to convince myself of his existence (pray hard, attend church weekly, bible study, and so forth). I have intentionally set the bar low, but not super low, the words I want to hear would be out of character for the person I have in mind. I know that if there's a God, despite some verses in the NT about receiving what you ask for, he plays it close to the vest when it comes to granting prayers. The person is in their seventies, so there's a clock ticking.

Hi,

I really hope that God answers your prayer. It will be interesting to see how things go. I have never really challenged people to put God to the test before. But he has done so many things for me that I can't see why he would not do them for others like yourself.

Raising people from the dead?

Now I know you're full of shit.

Really??? Don't you want to live forever. Would you trust a God who could not raise the dead.
