Whether scripture is authoritative or not is beside the point.

Then why did you quote it to MAKE a point?

There is a difference between being correct and being sef consistent. You are reasoning like a democrat here.

In five minutes I was able to find half a dozen articles backing up my interpretation of that scripture. I think before you respond to me again you should consider finding a Christian writer of Biblical scholar who supports the notion that God can be experimentally demonstrated. That IS what "testing" means, performing an experiment.

If you look at the original incident that led to this prohibition you will see that there was a scientific experiment performed to test for the presence of God. It worked, too. This incident must have caused a bit of trouble for later leaders, because later scripture specifically prohibits trying to repeat this experiment.

I have posted extensive links to this story on this thread. I'm not going to post them again.
