How come GOD hasn't shown up in 2000 years?

Question

According to the bible, god used to talk to masses of people from the sky, he used to 'smite' them when they were fighting, he used to ask for offerings... that was 3000+ years ago.

How come he doesn't show up anymore demanding things from us? Has he grown weary of offerings? Why is he letting the Jews and the Muslims fight and lets his "chosen land" be attacked? Does he not care or is it simply that... he doesn't exist?

Answer 1

All I can say is that "Mrs. Paige" is a total whack-job and needs to seek therapy ASAP.

She reminds me of Sean Hannity.

Answer 2

How come he doesnt show up anymore demanding things from us?

A he demands a great deal from those who believe and follow him.
B. He is God. He will come to you in his own time not ours

Has he Grown Weary of Offerings?

Well if youve read the bible you would know that after Jesus was Crusified this paid for our debt from sin.. giving him offerings now would be an affront to him because he already gave us that gift.

Why is he letting the Jews and Muslims fight?

why do tornados or hurricans or any such thing kill christians? God im sure has a grander more complete sceme of what he wants this world to become, by imposing himself in the things youve mentioned he would also be imposing on our own free will which he will not do. We can accept his gift or throw it away its our choice

Does he not care or not exist

He cares and he exists from what you wrote these are only 2 choices that you want to believe for whatever reason.. but if you thought about this for awhile the things that are happening in the world what other reasons could there be for allowing these things to continue? i can think of several but you need to think for yourself or you'll never get it

Answer 3

God/Jesus hasn't shown up in over 2000 because he is a patient and loving God that prefers to have as many of his creation saved and reconciled to him as possible.

I believe your wait will be ending soon so I hope that you come across to the correct choices in your life. You will have eternity, one way or another, to celebrate or regret your decisions.

If you really read the Bible and understood the Old and New Testament prophecy, you would clearly see that the prophecies of the second coming of Christ are unfolding before your very eyes.

I won't go on anymore for now, but if you are interested in what these prophecies are, post another question, I'm sure I'll answer.

Answer 4

God has been building his church. Jesus told us to spread the gospel around the world and give everyone the opportunity to be saved before his return. I fear that will not be accomplished.

I also believe that His return will be in my lifetime, or my childrens. The wars in the Middle East have been going on for more than a short period of time. It's about religious dominance in a particular area.

God will claim Israel again as His own, and it doesn't matter who occupies it or when then occupy it. When he wants it, he will have it.

Issaiah 40:15. Behold, the nations are as a drop in a bucket, and are counted as the small dust on the scales;

Dust on the scales. I interpret that as meaningless and uncounted for. God is and has supreme power over the world He created. Right now, we are making havoc and lawlessness (sin) throughout the globe. Jesus will return and put an end to it all through final judgement.

Which side do you want to be on?

Answer 5

I think in order to let Gods big plan kick in you have to at some time, step back and look at your work. During the time you speak of he was just laying some ground rules and now that every one knows what they are, they're given a certain amont of time to run with it. You know we're all given some time to help ourselves or hang ourselves.
As for the Jews and lebenon well land is land I don't think he cares about a little acreage I think he knew of this battle and hes just waiting for the perfect time to come back and say enough is enough. Don't worry it won't be long now!

Answer 6

When Jesus died on the Cross he utter this word "It is finished" which means the works his Father told him to do is finished. the salvation of man through faith in him.

Jesus is the full and final manifestation of God on Earth, when Jesus shows up he will no longer a saviour, butr a judge. God, which is called ancient of days in the scripture will go with him.

God is telling us through the scripture what he don't like and what he likes. Now a days God is talking to us through the scripture or the bible written by unschooled men through the inspiration of God, and we communicate to him through our prayers.

All the things that is happening in this world is a prophesy made hundreds of years ago, and is but the fullfilment of that prophesy. that the end is near.

search the scripture to find what lies ahead in the future end time happenings. you only see a few of it, the worse is yet to come.

Answer 7

There is no proof that he was ever here. The bible thumpers will argue that he spoke to Moses. But the fact remains that we are taking the account of a 800 year old man hearing voices from a burning bush... Hmmm would you believe an 800 year old man that said a bush talked to him? Would you believe anything that came out of an 800 year old man?

Answer 8

Without getting into a long explanation that would require your knowledge of what the Bible says (especially the Old Testament), His plan is in action and unfolding. There is no need for Him to intervene in the fulfillment of prophecy.

Answer 9

I'm angry and i think your wrong about god 'showing up' and god spoke to prophets not
local people he used angels for that and he only asked offerings from eh 2 or 3 people also he had 'last' prophets i.e. jesus and muhomad . the bible is not the only book with god you shouldnt ask questions about religion its retarded and so is your question

Answer 10

Wake up man he's all around us. This is just the signs of the time that the end is near in which he spoke about in the Bible. Everything he said would happen is happening!!!!!
