...despite thea's "guarantee" that God/Jesus would "make themselves known
to me." No sign of either one of him/them/whatever. 19 months! I'm not
getting any younger here, and neither is thea.

You better keep your eyes peeled for the Jesus feller. Only about 7.5
months to go! Look for signs. You may not be looking right. Get one of
them looking books. Try wearing your beads, even though you don't want
to help save yourself :)

It's an ongoing empirical experiment that shows prayer doesn't work. I
thank thea for making a concrete prophecy (complete with a time limit -
hers and my lifetimes) in order for this experiment to performed. Most
theists won't put their faith to the test like she has.

If I helped that would ruin the experiment.

 I'm surprised thea has gone against scripture though i.e. Luke 4:12
i.e. Do not put your lord god to the test. Sorry thea, you're off to
hell.

That makes sense, therefore it's the incorrect assumption to make.

Maybe thea's prayers are a bit like taking a ticket number at the
deli.......you know......the N Kelsey issues is ticket number;

875,908,000,663,275,842.110,392,870,042,999,639,091,439.

I mean the big fella is pretty busy with the universe you know.

Hang in there Neil.

Might quote the one that say - *Test me, Try me,* and see if I will not
open the windows
of heaven and pour you out a blessing that there will not be room to
receive it.
Why are you taking something out of context?

You are testing and trying God by praying for him to "make himself known to
me." It's been 19 months and so far he's ignored you.

> Why are you taking something out of context?

No one's taking anything out of context. Your Bible simply contradicts
itself a lot.

Can one ask God for anything without testing him?

I suppose it comes down to the intent of the nutter.

If the nutter prays 'in hope', then maybe not so it's just a lucky
dip, but if the nutter is 'daring' the sky fairy, then it's probably a
test.

You see, I thought thea said that god 'will' make himself known to
Neil with a time limit, therefore she's not asking, she's expecting.

That's a challenge to the big guy I would have thought.

Well, IF the issue was about God "making Himself known", then Neil K was answered many years ago.  In fact, he was answered before even asking:

No I wasn't. The only thing I know about God is what I've been told by
people like you. Thea "guaranteed" there would be no intermediaries.

Books written by people don't qualify as God "making himself known" to me
either. Thea "guaranteed" there would be no intermediaries.

Or, rather, God is free to make Himself known to humankind on terms of
His choosing[1], not yours. :)
