Your personal attack aside, claim to state how something not true can be wise?
I never said Proverbs was "not true." Kindly argue with what I have said, not what you think I said.
I was wondering.....

Is this test just prayer, a ritual, or just seeing how close to Jesus your life is headed?

They are most certainly for real! There are great predictions there that came true plus some of Psalms is great reading to ease your soul.

The Proverbs especially contain
things which are the way things are and
things which are the way they would
be in an idea world (which we don't live in).
The Proverbs contain observations and commandments;'
one is wise who figures out which is which.
Proverb 27:14 (KJV1611 Edition):
He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice,
rising earely in the morning,
it shall be counted a curse to him.
Many of us have been thus insulted by someone
with a cheery greeting WAY TOO EARLY
in the morning. This is NOT a commandmant
of God and woe to him who treats
it as such. This is a wise
observation of the way the world really works.
Proverb 13:18 (KJV1611 Edition):
Pouerty and shame shall be to him that
refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth
reproofe, shall be honoured.
This is the way an ideal world would work,
the second part is a commandment of God:
we should give heed when God sends someone
to reprove us (even if we don't personally
like the messenger). -
but what was the test that Ransom was talking about?

I don't know how to use quotes yet
