Why "answered prayers" will never be convincing evidence (agnostic, bible)

As I said. You can't answer the question.

It's not a difficult question mate.

And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

As I remarked before, your interior life is your concern. Not mine.

You disappoint me Blue. I would have thought you would have come up with a couple of the old apologist standbys by now. Like ...'Ah but when Jesus said anything would be granted if you ask, that only applied to the Apostles...not anyone else.' Or, when asked why they don't sell their possessions and give the money to the poor if they want to be perfect, we usually get...'No, no, wait!! Jesus said that the 'the rich man'. He didn't mean that for everyone'....as they grip onto their wallets for dear life.

Of course I disappointed you. You were trying to trap me with a dumb question.
