Why does God hide himself?

[ding]

God hides because he has a bad case of acne.

God has a wicked sense of humor. He probably laughed at that one.

And then he went a squeezed a few pimples.

You could look at it that way. The law of compensation never sleeps. It is always at work... squeezing pimples.

 

[Mickiel]

God mostly hides from Christians , because it is they who take self righteousness beyond its limits.

It was the Christians who infected the gospel message of truth , it was they that gained the ear of the world and spread its hell madness and limited Atonement perversion.

Socialism has always sought to subordinate religion.

Christians tried to convert the Americas when it was discovered. And they still go door to door today. It bet you do that.

 

[Mickiel]

I think trying to understand God is difficult ; if we knew how God really was, we could better understand why he does things.

God is just " Far More"; far more loving and kind than we know; far more gentle and wise than we think we know, he is " Far More"--- much more joyful and educated than we like to think we know.

And God is far more merciful and forgiving than religion has ever taught!

I see. Which religion did they subordinate and how did they do it?

God is more! More forgiveness , more salvation than what is being taught, more hope for this world than we know; and far more powerful than we have the ability to calculate. Humanity was created to live, to have life and live; salvation is FAR MORE than any religion has even imagined! Much knowledge is just being hidden from us; spiritual knowledge. Knowledge that is just too wonderful for us to comprehend at this time.

They subordinated the indians beliefs with Christianity by sending out priests to covert them.

Yes indeed they did. It was a seduction of a race.

God doesn't hide himself from those who believe in him.

I totally disagree ; God hides himself from all humans, their belief does not matter. If God reveals himself to a human, he does so for personal reasons; there is no common reason for God revealing himself, when he does.

I stand corrected.

I'm not a religious person. I do respect the rights of those who are.

That said... some people believe they've seen and spoken with God.
Who am I to say they didn't? :

How do you know that? Did God reveal that to you?

God does not hide Himself. You see Him every time you look at the night sky, or witness the miracle of birth. Some people simply refuse to see the obvious.

When have I ever said I've seen him?

Don't be a dumbass, RWNJ .

 

[RWNJ]

Don't be a dumbass, RWNJ .

Just because one disagrees with you, does not make them a dumbass. That reality exists only in your mind. Scripture clearly states that God will reveal Himself to those who diligently seek Him. If you haven't found Him, you simply aren't looking. That's what the Bible says. So, you are saying I'm a dumbass for relating what Scripture tells us. Coming from you, I'll take that as a compliment.
