Why is God such a bad teacher?

Question

If I, having only a limited knowledge of the human brain (not having designed it) wanted to teach someone something, here's what I would do:
-Have one and only one copy of the rulebook. (destroy all false copies.)
-Make the rules and their consequences crystal clear. (not vague stories)
-Update the roolbook regularly.
-Make rewards and punishments clear and consistent so that no one could possibly confuse them for random acts.
-Make rewards and punishments increase gradually with the behavior, rather than saving them up for a big reward/punishment at the end.
-If there is a date when it is too late to correct behavior, I would make that date specifically clear so that students could clean up their act in time.
-I would be present so that the students know I care about their performance.

Every teacher and manager knows that this is how humans learn and change their behavior. If God created us, why doesn't he get it?

It seems that this question is over most people's heads, Or perhaps I misrepresented it. My question is not about the result, but the technique. We all know what works and what doesn't in trying to get the human brain to learn. I am asking why God doesn't do the things that work?

Quiet Buck -
Thank you for a well-thought-out and respectful answer.

Answer 1

I use to be a head trainer and regional manager for a national company. I have even written 2 training manuals and re-written 3 others.

I am also an ex-atheist of 30 yrs but today a minister w/o dogma.

The bible is clear, "man" is who has confused it all, painted a story around it, etc. Remove the dogma, the "reglion" and the story will start to make sense. I also recommend reading more than just the bible, for there are many missing books. They were left out of "our", the publics versions long ago so the "church" could hold the true knowledge, in turn forces the masses to have to rely on them.

Erase all you know and think you know, and start over again. For most that is taught or the angle its taught with is wrong. Bible tells us G_D does not reside in buildings made with hands, He tells us He needs nothing from us, for He created all, His son got angry and even flipped a table of money that was in a church. He tells us not to follow traditions, specially when they are not of our own but taken from other cultures. Does the church follow this?

So if they don't follow the "word", then we must see what the "word" tells us about that. It says " be aware of the bad fruit among you, for they do not follow the word ". But now having insight, that doesn't give the right to go bash christians, put them down, or toss fruit. All it means is you started to gain "eyes that see and ears that hear". Then continue and more truth will come to you.

If you like space, aliens, ufo's, etc. Then read up on Genesis, fallen angels, nephilim and book of Enoch. All the UFO stuff will become clear and you'll have that wisdom as well. And again, don't be throwing stuff at the atheists.

G_D even says... " study and seek truth and ye shall be lead to me ".

Answer 2

Interesting how you are quick to chastise the teacher rather than question your learning ability. It is this day and age where a teacher is declared bad if there is one student that "doesn't get it" that is the fault of the teacher, not the parents and certainly not the student! There are millions of people across the globe from all races, speaking in many many different languages that are followers and students of Christ. Now when taking that perspective is it really fair to blame the teacher because one of those millions(ie you) just don;t take the time to study and put the extra work in to understand?

To add insult to injury you have ....

1.) Created a false God.
2.) Declared yourself better than God.
3.) Blasphemed the name of God.

Answer 3

Perhaps the only reason you don't feel as though you're learning, is because you haven't figured out what it is He's trying to teach you. And not believing in God at all isn't going to help you. No matter how good the lesson plan, if you don't want to learn you're not going to learn. If you don't even believe in the teacher, or see him as a teacher, well, then you're definately not going to get it.

Answer 4

While Mr. Miyagi was once an fascinating man or woman, and had tons of well matters to mention, I don't think he constituted the be all and finish all of fact, and even accuracy. There ARE unhealthy scholars.

Answer 5

There somebody goes again.....
Blaming God for Human shortcomings.
The Bible was translated inexpertly by flawed Humans.
Did God twist their arm to make it so?
Doubt it.
God hasn't interfered in Human affairs much since the Romans nailed His Son up to the Cross.
Want to interpret the Bible correctly.
God gave You a brain, did He not?
Use it.
Why are we such poor students is the REAL question.

Answer 6

God did it right, man through the influence of the devil has tried to pervert gods teachings. I trust the KJV bible the most, and a good bible dictionary will help with some of the words that have changed meanings over time.

Answer 7

God did make one Bible~man messed it up just like he does everything else, environment, relationships etc: with his "science" (so called) and "intelligence" and self will;
and then blame God when it doesn't turn out right;
are you His judge and teacher? What makes you think your rules would be followed anymore than His?
you need to repent of an exalted judgemental spirit and get right with God;

Answer 8

Faith is constantly wrestling with the idea of doubt.

A confident faith is actually considered a suspicious faith.

A wrestling faith is everything in religion.

No where in the Bible does God say following him would be easy. The true road is also hard to find but for those who find it, the rewards are indescribable.

Keep up the faith.

Answer 9

God is a concept,not an entity.we are created in his image as Gods ourselves john 10 verse 33 to 36.the rules are clear.do unto others as you would like for them to do unto you.the church pray to the devil read john 8 verse 44.the devil is the father of confusion,whereby the father of Jesus is the creator,called the God of love.when you love someone.do you want to make everything good for them,or do you like to confuse them.God is love.you are created in his image .to worship him is to love all of creation.not go to church and pray to him to not send you to hell.that is what the church god wants read 2 thes 2 verse 3,4.the devil wants to construct his kingdom above that of God allmighty.and uses fear on the creatures of God.Jesus is the only way,not the church.follow Jesus.become like him,because he was the first.we are the second,third,4th untill all are like him

Answer 10

Because its about having free will, god created us to make misteaks and sin , learn and live life, if everything was set out for us to do as some sort of "rule book" then we wouldnt be living we would all be robots.
