Because no man can look upon God's face and live. People think that God can not be seen; but that is untrue, for the rule is that no man can look upon HIS face and live. Since this was the first time Moses got a chance to spend time with God; God protected him (moses) by first contacting him through the bush.
Ex 33:20 And he said, Thou canst not see MY FACE: for there shall no man see me, and live.
And beware of the answers you take in to your spirit; as I read through the responses you are getting, I see that there are some unlearned faithful who needs to study more, and even the devil has some of his morons respond to you too.
But make sure that whomever's response you accept, that they can back up what they say with more than just a verse. I have pointed you in the right direction; if you would go and read what comes before this, you will learn much.
In Jesus' name: May JAH Bless you and guide you. Selah

Moses needed a miraculous sign. God recognized this human fault in Moses. You have to remember that after the flames in the bush were over the bush was normal and not scortched at all. Also we are told that no one at that time could look upon the face of God without dieing.
God manifested himself in that bush in order to protect Moses as well as teach moses the awesome power God holds.

What I find interesting about this is that the bush "burned", but wasn't consumed. Now if I was standing there watching something that burned but didn't get blackened, die, etc., I think the little hairs on the back of my neck would stand up! Then I would pay attention.
God has very interesting ways of drawing us to Him..in order for Him to make a point.

I know, out of all things. A burning bush? I think Moses was burning some pot, and then he got high and thought he saw God.

The bush replaced right into a skill, plus a lot of folk have self assurance it replaced into Gabriel speaking during the bush. each and every so often human beings choose a awaken call and this replaced into Moses awaken call. And it in basic terms befell as quickly as while Jesus is alive nevertheless right this moment.

The Lord works in mysterious ways.
And the bush wasn't being burned up, that caught Moses' attention. Maybe he was a piro.
He used a donkey to talk to Balam, that might be a little weirder, to have a donkey to start proficing to you.

God wanted Moses to come up the mountain so He can speak to Him alone, God wanted to see if Moses would come seek Him.
God comes as either Fire, cloud, wind, earth-Quake, spirit-holy ghost, dreams, word-Jesus, words spoken either out loud, or you'll feel what He said. He comes many forms and ways to communicate.

Maybe because it would draw some attention... plus, wouldn't a burning bush be just as attractive to every guy now as it was then? Cmon dudes, we're all pyromaniacs.

when a burning bush talks, you listen. Speaking of burning Bush- I think that's an excellent idea!

Opium? Hashish? Or whatever opiate these desert dwellers consumed to forget the harsh realities of their existence; it sure makes for parting seas, burning bushes, and what not! What a trip!
