Why doesn't god just show up on every tv and in every city of the world?

Question

why be so coy?
Just show up and put an end to all this bickering about whose god is the real god, or whether there's any god at all.
Somehow, I don't think it's gonna happen.

Answer 1

OK and if God did just show up would you believe then, or would you still be in doubt. God wants us to believe in him with faith. It would be so easy for God to appear and crush Satan and get rid of all the wickedness in the world, but I am asking you, what would that prove? God does not want robots, he wants genuine love. We are very lucky to have such a patient God or else he would of gotten rid of mankind along time ago. And God does wait. He is still waiting and hoping that mankind will choose him over Satan. God does not wish to loose one single person. Satan has set out to prove God a liar and his authority has been put into question. Satan himself put those doubts there to Adam and Eve. In order for God to prove to mankind that he is not a liar, and that he does know what is best for us, God has let this world continue on. So when God sends his Son back, will you believe then?

Answer 2

Deists will claim that such an appearance would remove free will. Their argument is that if God's existence could be proven, there would be no room to believe or not believe, and this would remove free will.

However, let's first note that this doesn't remove all free will, but only the free will to believe in God.

But then we look around the world, and there are many people who ignore or disbelieve scientific facts (look at Young Earth Creationists for an example). So would it not possible to choose to disbelieve anyway, considering people do that all the time in today's society?

And just because God's existence was proven would not mean I would have to listen to him or do as he says. Humans are very adept at ignoring authority figures, and even the threat of punishment will not deter their free will.

So why would it in the case of God?

Answer 3

So tell me;

If a figure showed on every TV in the world, and said "I'm God", do you really think you would believe? How much stuff is there on YouTube... do you believe any of that?

If you don't believe in simiply what you might experience if you ask, why would you believe in something you see on TV?

There have been visions of the Sun falling, of Mary in the Sky... lots of such things, and few believe. A man supposedly rose from the dead 2000 years ago. It's somewhat documented in the Bible.... many don't believe.

First, ask what it would take.... then, ask if you would believe it if it actually happened. Wouldn't you likely just attribute it to some sort of trickery?

Answer 4

God is invisible, so if he showed up on every TV it would still look exactly the same (unless he showed up as a cloud - but then how would you know it was God?)...

I think you're right, it ain't gonna happen.

Colossians 1:15 "He is the image of the invisible God,..."
1 Timothy 1:17 "Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God..."

Answer 5

He does show up - the very miracle of sound spectrum or the atoms being organized reflects the depths of creation.
If God wasn't "coy" people would be forced to believe and we would lose the free will God wants us to have - so we are more than remotes.
Remember - the bicking is by humanity, not God.

Answer 6

actual!!! It replaced into something greater formal, yet I used to chat to Him however the reason and because I stored forward to my very own ambition and desires, while He gave me avertisements I stored none and did my way going into further and extra trubles! Into an end, interior a deep depresion, He stored my existence (!!!) the very 2nd I left away of all my deep desires... There, empty coronary heart, i replaced into packed with God's easy and Peace and Love - an entire New existence, a clean physique, a clean imaginitive and prescient over the previous and the destiny :) :) :) sure, he's my Saviour!!!

Answer 7

When God shows up in full glory there will be no need for television to show him off. When the dead from all time that are believers come forth from their grave and meet him in the sky who is going to care about watching t.v. After that many others will vanish. Then if any of the television people want to cover the story they will do it then. Most of the ones left will be in shock and busy looking for people they love that are here no more..

Answer 8

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.

Verily, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and in the alternation of the night and the day, and in the ships which sail in the sea with that which profits men, and in the water which Allah sends down from the sky and quickens therewith the earth after its death and scatters therein all kinds of beasts, and in the change of the winds and the clouds pressed into service between the heaven and the earth - are indeed Signs for the people who use their understanding.

Dost thou not see that Allah created the heaven and the earth in accordance with the requirements of wisdom? If He please, He can do away with you, and bring a new creation.

Answer 9

Because even that wouldn't convince the diehards out there who are so indubitably sure that there is no God. God did the equivallent of a primetime performance 2,000 years ago in Judea by becoming flesh in Christ. Yet plenty of people brushed him away as a heretical deviant.

That's why not.

Answer 10

God is waiting for His disciples to get out and spread His Word. People like you are to be trained in the truth and taught the Love of God first.

Why would he show up when people wouldn't know who He is. That would be like you showing up at my place and expecting dinner, I probably would give it to you but my family would have to get to know you.
