If he had the power to do so but didn't he committed CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE and has been responsible for numerous wars The Holocaust and 9/11.
But what I and many others suspect is that there is no God that's why there was not one single message transmitted to all people at the same time.

The argument of God respecting our free will has no place here. The fact all Religions have started in a very mundane way, restricted to a narrow geographic region and extending at a snail pace by very down to earth means points to the human origin of religion and its messages. God would act in a responsible and Godly all powerful manner just by spreading the news uniformly and simultaneously to all ethnic groups at once. This would not have eliminated individual free will. This would have avoided confusion, misunderstandings and hatreds. After such a show the divine presence all over the earth in one simultaneous revelation all the false prophets would have stood out like charicatures of the real thing.

God has sent a message to everyone on Earth from the beginning of time. People, though, have free will and great imaginations. They tend to choose ignoring the message or even creating whole new mythologies where one God does not exist. In a way, God even supports this. It is not negligence, but loving your children no matter what you do, to use a human analogy. People get caught up in life and rarely visit the quiet place where God exists in ways few can imagine. Try closing your eyes and finding the silence within, then listening for the word to come to you. It will be one word at first. For me, it was "come." It is a place where all knowledge lies, but it takes years of devotion to find all of the truths that wait there. It is a place within, yet beyond. For most, for the ordinary, it is a place to find peace and love and energy like cool water in a hectic world. Find that place and you can hear God and know. Everyone always could, but they didn't try. Jesus was quiet and contemplative and listened, as have been many leaders of worldly "religions." The problem lies in the fact that those who start wars are not true followers of the word, of the truth, but are people who want power and let their hearts be full of hatred. Religion is politics. Faith is the truth. Good luck in finding faith and the quiet place.

You negated your own argument about free will. If the Almighty came in with such a divine presence as you propose, how could people choose to believe on Him based on free will? Even while Jesus was on earth, the apostles were expecting Him to come in like a vengeful warrior king full of power to overthrow the Roman Empire. Instead, He chose to send His Son as a man, to experience all the temptations and difficulties of a human. We have the example of a man who lived life the same as his counterparts and yet still remained perfect. Now contrast that with your example. Take some of the historical accounts that we have of explorers who were regarded as gods in the lands they visited. Do you imagine for a moment that the native people chose to regard those men as gods out of true 'free will'? I would say fear for their lives or perhaps marvel at weaponry had more to do with that decision than free will. Certainly Jesus did miracles in his time on earth but this same man washed the feet of his apostles. I could choose to follow a God who sent his Son to face the same struggles in life that I face and emerged triumphant or I could follow a god that wows me with some divine display. God sent his message precisely the way He did so that people would choose to follow him out of free will not because of some glorious signs in the heavens.

could God make it easier to! No, God did no longer deliver 3 units of policies. He sent one. He additionally gave guy loose will. (have been given Eve in difficulty interior the backyard of Eden) The Holy Bible is the only source for the certainty. God made the Jew first. Jews are His chosen human beings it relatively is why Jesus replaced right into a Jew. although, while He sent Jesus, some Jews chosen of their own FreeWill to maintain on with Him, and others chosen to no longer have faith He replaced into the long awaited Messiah. After the Jews of the day desperate they wished no longer something to do with Him, He became His interest to the gentiles - the Greeks, Romans, etc. The Jews and Christians have been close, and that i understand of no conflict that they have got participated in against one yet another. purely radical Muslims combat Christians and Jews. Come on now, do you relatively have faith God might furnish seventy two Vestel virgins for men to have their way with in the event that they war for "the reason" in the event that they die and kill others? this is the instructions of the novel Muslim to get human beings to kill others and themselves interior the call of Allah. i wish you do slightly examine in this and use commentaries supplies you for help for the instructions interior the Bible. Matthew's remark is one that is composed of innovations. i'm commencing as much as have faith people who say they are atheists are doing so which you ought to do what they decide for w/o a accountable experience of right and incorrect, or in step with risk they are sociopaths and have no experience of right and incorrect.

You are looking at one small piece of a complicated question. I'll try to be as brief as possible.
1. The spirit, also known as the "soul", lives forever. It is not affected by the death of our bodies.
2. God's purpose is to bring about the immortality and eternal life of mankind.
3. People can still grow and progress after this life.
Therefore, when innocent people die, it doesn't harm their chances to hear the word of God. People who don't hear it in this life will have the opportunity to learn afterwards.
God will not stop people from making incorrect choices. If He always automatically rewarded good and punished evil, we would be little more than rats in a cage, doing good only because we were forced to by our conditioning, not because of our will. Sometimes the things that happen to us in this life don't seem fair but everything will be sorted out in the judgment of Jesus Christ and people will get what they desire and deserve.
Don't let the conditions of this world deter you from believing in God. God is all around you if you are willing to see Him there.

Because God knew the single best way to get his message of universal salvation out to the entire world, was to have himself born unto a peasant teenager in a backwater village in an obscure country in the middle of a desert. That will get everyone's attention in no uncertain way.
This brilliant marketing plan proves God's omniwhateverness.
Or maybe that he doesn't actually exist.

God left it up to His followers to spread the Good News of Salvation by faith through grace. Some will accept it (as I did) and some will reject it (as you obviously have).
God is not responsible for the evil in the world, mankind is. He allows things like 9-11 to turn mens' hearts toward Himself.

God did not send His message of salvation through the blood shed by His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, simultaneously, as this wasn't the means that He wanted to get the gospel to the ends of the earth. Simple as that. He could have done this some other way but this was the way He chose and it is fine by me. He wanted to use human instuments to carry forth the gospel message and that is what was done. Through this method He taught His messengers to rely on Him and to trust in Him. And they did. Instead of looking critically at the method God chose to help us out we should just be thankful that He even bothered to look upon us at all and not just blot us out of His universe.

Earn your degree with God...be patient and trust him!
I waited nearly half my life to see what I saw and there's no turning back.
People claim to have seen God and the Virgin Mary speciallly in Conquers, Georgia.
I have seen a spirit of God back in 2001. Read mypage 360 the story called 'The Fog". It is a true fact and I haven't been the same person since.
Believe what you want to believe, but GOD does exhist.

What proof you have that he didn't after all he spread his word thru communist countries many people died spreading his word and the test is thru times how man spreads and accept the Gospel. Too easy to spread it instantaneously and as for wars and other strife in life. God does intervene , but wars and mayhem are created by Satan thru man. The test of times .
What is in your heart today?
