Christians, why did you 'version' of god only reveal himself through Christ 2000 years ago?

Question

What was the timelesss perfect entity doing after the creation/talking snake story until Jesus' virgin birth (ahem) He can't have been waiting as he is outside space and time also he is perfect already so what was he doing?Perfection needs or wants nothing, why 'decide' 2000 years ago to put Jesus on earth? Of course one theory is that it was all made up by man, that would certainly explain the faulty logic to all this, what do you think?

David L-"God has had a specific plan of action set up from before the Creation of the world"

Why are you making things up! You don't know that!!!

Answer 1

God has been revealing Himself to humans little by little throughout all of history, hence the entire Jewish Scriptures (Old Testament).

Christians believe that this revelation reached its peak with the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

But God is still revealing Himself through the Church and the power of the Holy Spirit.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

God has had a specific plan of action set up from before the Creation of the world. He has communicated with mankind with very few periods of silence since the beginning with Adam and Eve. What do you think the Bible is all about? It certainly doesn't portray an absent or silent God.
If you know anything about the Bible or religion, I really don't know where you are coming from.

Answer 3

I have no facts, just my humble opinion, but here goes ... first, time has no meaning in this situation because God is timeless.

Second, I believe God revealed Himself over and over, through Moses, Abraham and other prophets before and after Jesus.

Since that time He has revealed Himself through others -- some famous, through others who do/did their work privately. Mother Teresa is a prime example.

There are avatars throughout the ages who carry God's message. We just have to open up and listen.

Answer 4

Well, god can do whatever he wants. It doesn't have to make sense to you.

Answer 5

I think you are on your trip to hell. Harry up.

Answer 6

God revealed himself to man throughout man's existence.

The old testament is the chronicle of that gradual revelation. Gradual due to man's limitations, and not due to any limitations on the part of God.

God chose to send his son when he did, because it was the proper time for it:

II. CHRIST'S REDEMPTIVE DEATH IN GOD'S PLAN OF SALVATION

"Jesus handed over according to the definite plan of God"

599 Jesus' violent death was not the result of chance in an unfortunate coincidence of circumstances, but is part of the mystery of God's plan, as St. Peter explains to the Jews of Jerusalem in his first sermon on Pentecost: "This Jesus [was] delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God."393 This Biblical language does not mean that those who handed him over were merely passive players in a scenario written in advance by God.394

600 To God, all moments of time are present in their immediacy. When therefore he establishes his eternal plan of "predestination", he includes in it each person's free response to his grace: "In this city, in fact, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place."395 For the sake of accomplishing his plan of salvation, God permitted the acts that flowed from their blindness.396

"He died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures"

601 The Scriptures had foretold this divine plan of salvation through the putting to death of "the righteous one, my Servant" as a mystery of universal redemption, that is, as the ransom that would free men from the slavery of sin.397 Citing a confession of faith that he himself had "received", St. Paul professes that "Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures."398 In particular Jesus' redemptive death fulfills Isaiah's prophecy of the suffering Servant.399 Indeed Jesus himself explained the meaning of his life and death in the light of God's suffering Servant.400 After his Resurrection he gave this interpretation of the Scriptures to the disciples at Emmaus, and then to the apostles.401

"For our sake God made him to be sin"

602 Consequently, St. Peter can formulate the apostolic faith in the divine plan of salvation in this way: "You were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your fathers. . . with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. He was destined before the foundation of the world but was made manifest at the end of the times for your sake."402 Man's sins, following on original sin, are punishable by death.403 By sending his own Son in the form of a slave, in the form of a fallen humanity, on account of sin, God "made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."404

603 Jesus did not experience reprobation as if he himself had sinned.405 But in the redeeming love that always united him to the Father, he assumed us in the state of our waywardness of sin, to the point that he could say in our name from the cross: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"406 Having thus established him in solidarity with us sinners, God "did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all", so that we might be "reconciled to God by the death of his Son".407

God takes the initiative of universal redeeming love

604 By giving up his own Son for our sins, God manifests that his plan for us is one of benevolent love, prior to any merit on our part: "In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins."408 God "shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us."409
