Do you know why God won't reveal Himself to those who do not believe He actually does exist?

Question

I see God, the creator, more importantly, my Creator, in all things.
but was wondering what others thought about why, you know...He wont just come out on a platform.
I allready have my own answer. Because, if a person does not believe, or have faith, He could come into someones Town, or House...He could even touch their very heart and soul.
And unless He, Chose that person to be in His eternal kingdom, they would never know Him.
No matter how many miracles, or blessings, or lives he might save from Cancer, aids, ebola...etc, etc.
Oh, I suppose I see Him every day, it is just the World, which I tend to try and want to please, or cling to.
Even though I know He has touched my heart and soul.
Even though I have been blessed with the most powerful feeling of Love, and peace, something, like someone said, you can not really describe it, unless you have experienced it.
But I get so wrapped up and lost in this World, Why...why do I waste my time, on the so called pleasures of this dam

* God forsaken world?
oh that was a continuation...

Why do I waste my time on this dam*, God Forsaken World?

Answer 1

It has to do with his sovereign will and good pleasure. He's God and He does what He wants.

Romans 9:14 What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means! 15 For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."

16 So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth." 18 So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills. 1

9 You will say to me then, "Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?"

20 But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, "Why have you made me like this?" 21 Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honored use and another for dishonorable use? 22 What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, 23 in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory--

Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 8 which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight 9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ 10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. 11 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory.

Answer 2

Have you ever stood in entrance of a Redwood or the Ocean? God isn't the creator of misunderstanding. You are proper in pronouncing that the Word of God has been distorted. My Pastor stated that the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus had been lies and to not ever coach them to our youngsters or they might query after we taught them approximately God. The solar rises and units,but you assert God isn't round. His mercies are renewed everyday. What yr is it? Why is it that yr? It is 2010 everywhere in the international. 2010 A.D. "In the yr of our Lord". You are predominant. You are cherished. You were given a reputation and it's within the publication of existence till unbelief in Christ. May you utilize all your potential presents and capabilities that the Creator has given you. I was once a HATER of the Creator however now I am a lover of the Lord. Do no longer overlook that you simply had been Chosen. Selected. You are alive and desired to be. You had been some of the go with that stated "Send me to Earth Lord, I will think, although I don't see you, although I undergo, select me"! You are browsing and you are going to uncover. Peace out.

Answer 3

He revealed himself to Thomas.

Faith is Gods final test, if you can pass it he will show himself to you. An unbeliever and me will not agree that we see God even though we may be looking at the same thing, just as an unbeliever and me will not agree when viewing the virgin birth. We will both agree there is a woman, and that she is pregnant, but women giving birth as virgins is something not normal. since it is not normal people we become confused at what they are seeing.

God is the same way. We don't know how God works, or what he really is. We speculate, but the truth is that none of us really know by way of the physical evidence. The ones that do know by way of physical evidence are the ones who have accepted God in faith, trusting in him.

Now this brings the thought that we are only looking for validation of beliefs we uphold. At this point one is aloud to come to whatever conclusions they want, because honestly they cannot say that we are validating our beliefs, when our beliefs speak out against validation.

Validation is an indulgence of the mind, if we self indulge we are blinding ourselves to Gods true nature, and when we do that it is not so much God refusing to show himself to us as it is us refusing to show ourselves to him.

Answer 4

This was written by Nikos Kazantzakis

"When the kings had died, a pauper, barefoot and hungry, came and sat on the throne. 'God' he whispered, 'the eyes of man cannot bear to look directly at the sun, for they are blinded. How then, Omnipotent, can they look directly at
you? Have pity, Lord; temper your strength, turn down your splendor so that I, who am poor and afflicted may see you!' Then - listen, old man - God became a piece of bread, a cup of cool water, a warm tunic, a hut, and in front of the hut, a woman feeding an infant. 'Thank you, Lord,' he whispered. 'You have humbled yourself for my sake. You became bread, water, a warm tunic and my wife and son in order that I may see you. And I did see you. I bow down and
worship your beloved many-faced face!'"

Look to see divinity in the world around you and you will not be disappointed.

Answer 5

We - all once, did not believe in the existence of God. God designates the people, He decides to use or employ as Christians (John 6th chapter, verse 44) ! Why would God "reveal Himself " to those He is NOT drawing to Himself, in this life ?

Answer 6

The way I see it, God reveals himself when someone seeks him. If it's the right time and they really want a relationship with God, they will find him. Otherwise, what's the point?
Why should God reveal himself just to satisfy someone's curiosity? That would be foolish.

Answer 7

HE DOES!!!! Look at the night sky and ask how this could all be a giant cosmic accident? Do our lives mean nothing? Is beauty non-existant? But God will not touch your heart until you let Him, God does not force belief. That is why so many people reject Him.

Answer 8

Yes, I know why. Let me share this with you.

Mat 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.


Mat 4:2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.


Mat 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.


Mat 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.


Mat 4:5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,


Mat 4:6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in [their] hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.


Mat 4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.


Mat 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;


Mat 4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.


Mat 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.


Mat 4:11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

To the ones who do not believe, would it make any difference if God were to reveal himself to you?

Jesus revealed himself, and people still refused to believe that he was the Messiah. Even when you have the proof you seek, you will still refuse to believe the truth even though it is right in front of you.

Answer 9

If he gave you free will , it would defeat the purpose of coming to you . You have to decide whether you have enough faith to believe in him . Then you'll notice he's around , Maybe not in an audible voice or coming to see you personally . But you begin to notice things .

Answer 10

More people for the people oven. Though of course there have been thousands of Gods throughout history, and belief is almost always (3/4 or 75% of adults worldwide) based on where a person is born.
