And that's my point. Thank you for spelling it out so succinctly.
Not only would
awareness's "test" cause every true apostle to flunk, but even our Heavenly Apostle would flunk that test. While on earth, the Jews attempted to "play" the Lord on numerous occasions, asking for signs and wonders. Even the Roman guards taunted Him saying, "play the prophet." He did nothing to oblige them. He appeared to them as totally incompetent, like some dumb sheep headed for slaughter. He never came to this earth to be a miracle worker.
Our Lord Jesus refused to be the circus performer that you and awareness seem to desire.
