Why don't you show yourself? You supposedly made us and want us to believe in you, right? Why the big mystery? You're also omnipresent, right? Why don't you show yourself to all of us at once and have a personal discussion with us? You can pick the date and time, we'll all stop what we are doing, I'm sure.

He has in fact picked the date and time. But He says it's not for us to know. That's why those who follow Him are called to walk by faith and not by sight.

He will show himself if you seek to know, this is the thing that most do not realize. That God is very real and very interested in everyones happiness, but we were put down here to be control of our own destinies. The way he made us, to survive and almost to not need him. I can answer your question, God knew not everyone will accept him and does not love nor hate anyone else more than another, he is there for the ones that will seek. I am rereading the book of John right now, and Jesus talks about taking the bread, God gives the bread, but most will reject it. I always tell myself that we can not worry about the troubles in the world, because it is written that the world is evil. We see and live in sin, it is all around us, but there is much good too, it is all beautifully working together. We need the challenges in which evil provides to make us better people, we need tribulations and struggles to bring out the best in us. Do we let people starve or do we feed them? Do we slaughter our enemies into oblivion or do we advance their culture? Do we heal the sick or do we let them die?

God shows himself all the time. The question is why do people not see him. The ocean, the stars, a flower, in the face of the person who says they love you, in the joy you feel when you love somebody else; all these experiences are revelations of Gods power and love for us. There is no way we could take in the unfiltered reality of God.
Imagine you were talking to a fish and you said something about the water; and then the fish says; "Water, whats that?" In a similar way God is all around us, he holds us up, he puts breath in our lungs, he is the very context in which we live. We can live in God or we can reject God and die. But like a fish breaking the surface, in that moment of leaving God, we would learn how totally we depend on God and quickly return.

ya Nena is right. He wants to show Himself but does not get the right time. He already showed His son once, but what did the ppl do? They didn't believe in Him and crucified Him. Even if He sends Jesus again now, ppl will reject Him and nail Him on the cross. So, He's waiting for the gospel to be preached to the ends of the world and evryone shud be saved by the blood of Jesus. then there will be a second coming to take all those who are saved to heaven!!!!!!!! And we'll have eternal life!!!!!!!

he will show himself one day. The world is getting evil and meaner by the minute so he is going to show himself that one day but he will do it ONLY on his timing. The thing is people have got to be ready 24/7 for his coming cause if your not than than thats unfortunate for you. ALL IN DUE TIME! There is still too many who dont believe in God(even on here). Ask them in a question and theyll nearly cuss u out.

There are only to forces, good and evil, there is no in-between. So every time that something happens that you recognize as good, there you have it, there He is.
We are the body of Christ. We are His hands and His feet.The good that we do, is prom ted by God Himself. For God is what makes good what it is.
For ex. you need a message to go to someone. You ask your friend to go and tell the person the message, even though you did not personally or face to face the person, the person got the message in your name.
So if you want to see God again, because I know you have seen Him, but you did not acknowledge Him, or did not recognize Him. Do something good for, or to your brother, and you will see the God in you.
God's Blessing.

He is waiting for tthe Right time , Just when you don't expect it . Like a thief in the night ,(when your asleep, Will you be ready? ) be ready at all times , Besides He showed himself to Moses God told Moses that His(God) image was so powerful it would kill Moses.....,,, He already has picked a date....... Do not assume He is stranded somewhere and cannot get back to show you ??? you need to seek Him then you will see, many have seen JESUS CHRIST, read the BIBLE,,,,,

Zach:
God is visible in everything you know.. in birth and death and life cycle events.. God is in YOU.. go have a long hard look in the mirror.. God is there.. not a PHYSICAL there but a spiritual there/here/everywhere. God is faith and believing. Many believe GOd is NOT a person in human form but a power .. no way to reveal that but through miracles and everyday beauty.

The Lord God did show himself he was Jesus
in the flesh
and the Lord died for you and me on the cross at
Calvary and took away the sins of this
world
And our Lord he will reappear one of these days as you
open your bible to Revelations
Jesus is coming back on a white horse to take his sheep
back home to heaven

All you have to do is to go to a quiet place. Sit still and empty your mind of all distraction. Then ask Him if He exist and will He help you to know the truth. That is all you have to do. Most people can not let go of the noise of their life and in their mind. But if you can... and you give Him permission.. He will help you lift the barrier long enough for you to know that He is there with you and all around you in every minute. The reason that we do not experience His presence is not because He is not there, we do not experience His presence because WE are not there, open, and listening. I dare you to try this.
