No body among you in the right sense of mind can deny that Science has not discovered many secrets about our planet and about our Universe ( atoms,cells,formation of storms ,Earthquakes,Birth of Stars etc) with growth in our intelligence their is a genral consensus that how very little we know about our Universe; many rare phenomenons cannot be explained by Scientists in a logical manner.This just goes to show that God who is the Creator of our Universe has a knowledge beyond our Comprehension, he does not need Humans or Church or any other medium to Transfer his message to the people of earth ,if Christ is the saviour then if God is seeing 70% of the people not believing it
he himself can verify it to billions of people on Earth(he does not need Churchmen to do it),he is merciful and cannot send billions of
people to hell just because they do not believe the messages of Jesus being carried out by churchmen who are humans.

Somehow there are many proofs to validate
the existence of Gautam Buddha,mohhamad,Mahavir etc who were great men,
How come many historians are in doubt of the existence of jesus atleast he should have travelled to all the countries and spoke to all the people in the world instead of leaving that duty to churchmen ,can you doubt half the world for disbelieving Jesus as one of many Myths .

The first man knew when he looked in the sky and saw a sun shining down, then around him to the animals running around, and then within him to a spirit in perfect union with the One who created him, that God had a knowledge and power beyond all our comprehension. It has not just occurred to us in this milliennium that God is a being who is well beyond our intellectual reach.
Bringing it down to our level, there is an order to all in this world, and that is reflective of its Creator. In this world, we have leaders. Even the most benevolent leaders do much that is not fair to every individual under his or her governance but believe it is for the greater good that it goes the way it is being directed. If these leaders thought it would be for the greater good that it go otherwise, surely another path would be chosen. Those being hurt by those decisions do not understand why it is that way. For example, many Americans do not understand why it is better that a man loses a good manufacturing job here so that a man in Mexico or China or India can have a better job and raise his standard of living while the American loses his, but we are assured it is for the best.
Going back to the super-cosmic level, there is a point being proven that must be made. No one here knows what it is. Yet we must trust the Creator and go with the word He has given.
You are right -- God does not need us to transmit His message. He could beam it across the sky, communicate it telepathically, write it in our DNA to run across our minds at our 18th birthdays. Why does He choose to use mere men to spread the message? I do not know, but He does. Perhaps to let us share in the joy.
How will He deal with the billions of people who do not hear the message? I do not know, but He will in the way that is best for reasons we cannot yet imagine. Resting in this comes by faith, and such faith is not foolishness to be spurned but a gift to be cherished. I pray that God soon brings such rest to your soul.

OK if God talked to you then you would die. Your head would explode and your chest would cave in under the awesome power of His voice, as said in "Dogma". This is a true statement. That said God would need mediums. (i.e many rare phenomenons cannot be explained by Scientists in a logical manner) Most Christians are Trinitarian and believe that Jesus is simultaneously the Son of God and God made incarnate. So when you say, "I don't believe Jesus." Your really calling God a liar. I don't know about you, but when I'm called a liar it kinda ticks me off.

Why should God have to do that? He has given us eternal life, kept us from hell, given us an earth, air to breathe, made the earth just far enough away from the sun so we won't burn but not so far as to freeze. And you still expect Him to come and say "Hey, everybody I'm the real thing, see?" Everything around us should be proof enough.
If people can't believe Christians, what makes you think they would believe God? They could just say it was a cloud or a mirage. Its true faith God is looking for, faith of believing the truth even when you can see it, feel it or touch it.

Romans 10: 13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
And Romanso 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
There are TWO things GOD does use. Since God inspired the Bible 2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:)
SO God DOES use "churchmen" and the BIBLE!!!!
PS
You said... "many rare phenomenons cannot be explained by Scientists in a logical manner"
There are thousands
EXPLAIN THE EVOLUTION OF THE HUMAN EYE!!
Man, explain the evolution of the eye PERIOD! Then explain it's evolution in the vertebrate and the arthropod etc.
Not only is it rediculous to say it evolved ONCE, but come on!!!!

You really don't have a question in there anywhere.
Nonetheless, I disagree with your final statement. Jesus issued the great commission. As you say, God knows much more than we do.
We may surmise that with 70% of people not believing, it's not worth doing, but I'm going with God rather than your suggestion.
Whether God needs our help or not is a moot point. He put the responsibility on us to plant and water. He gives the increase.
Consider the parable of the talents.

Well, i didnt see a question there, but he does not send people to Hell because they dont believe a "churchman." He send them to Hell because they dont believe on him and repent of their sins. As for the other stuff i agree, he doesnt need them. I am a Christian put i do not attend church. I read my bible, say my prayers and talk to God randomly through out the day. As for the merciful Jesus, he is merciful because he knows we can never be perfect, we will always be sinners, but as long as we believe on him and repent we are saved. In the Bible he says the second coming will not be good, he is coming to "JUDGE" the world and its people.

As a Christian I am facinated by science and the advances that are made. If someone can prove without a doubt that we came from "primordial ooze" then great. So far, scientists can't prove it because it is too complex a process and they can't recreate it. What I believe in (Christianity) is based on faith and that's all I need to believe in it. I also believe in science and I have faith in science, as many do. Also...where is the question in there? :)

Nowhere in the Bible does it say that God sends people to hell. People CHOOSE to go there.
If they are willing to spend their meager time on earthh without Him, then their destination is a place without Him. It was their choice, their free will. Their choice to walk thru the gates because that is what they chose here on earth.
It is not God's choice for people to go to hell, but He loves everyone enough to realize that if someone denies Him and Jesus, then their choice is eternity without Him.
That is love beyond comprehension.
Second, He picked mankind, through obedience, to bring His message. If what you say is true, then tell me why did Jesus become the Word in the flesh?"

You just went in a big circle. God can communicate without man you said....and then how could he send people to hell if humans failed to convince with their sermons....?
God isn't sending people to hell.
Everyone always get's stuck here....I think they're looking at the thing from below or something...They say. " How could a good God send anyone to Hell?" Right?
We can probably all agree that Heaven is a place of reward and Hell is a place of punishment....O.K.?
Now, what would you think of a God that sent unconfessed murderers, rapist, child molesters, and haters in general to Heaven? See. ....from below.

I see disbelief. God does what God does. You seem to be
one willing to die the final death, and spend eternity in the lake of fire. Friend, we can not think on the same level of God, How
he wants it done it will be done. Those whop accept Jesus Christ as Saviour will reap the reward of Heaven.
I pray that you will come to know Jesus. And to see your
foolish ways.
