If god is the all able, all knowing supernatural you claim he is. Why would he need Jesus, Mohamed, Moses and all the other 8000 prophets to deliver his messages??, Isn't he able to just implement it in our minds one night as we sleep and would all wake up one morning either all christians, Muslims, Jewish or one of the other 800000000000000 religions in this world. Or does god really just want to have fun and see how many traps he can lay and how many people he can burn in his hell, because he didn't provide enough evidence for them. I got a hand it out to your god, Christians, Muslims, Jews, your god is wicked and really good at keeping himself entertained. What do you real thinkers think of this matter??

Its just amazing isn't it, why God would wish to go to all sorts of unbelievable trouble when he could just say 'I'm God', better be good.

If God was to just talk to every one it would take your free choice away. He gave you a choice when you were born to believe in him. He only wants you to come back to live with him if you want to not because you were forced too.He only comes to those who have chosen to believe in him with such strong convictions that even with pain and death, they will not deny him. These people are chosen spirits from the beginning before the world was created. Many are called but few are chosen. You don't have to return and live with God but we as Christians know and deep in your heart I think you know that those who believe in God and Jesus Christ will be so much better off than those who refuse to that there will be a difference as between night and day after the Judgment.

Why the need for Prophets?
Contrary to what people have been told, you do NOT have God's Holy Spirit just because you "believe" in God or accepted Jesus as Savior....accepting God is 1 step...accepting Jesus is 2nd step....accepting the Holy Spirit is 3rd step... rarely do all occur at one time.
So, there are many BABES in Christ as well as those still undecided or flat out unbelievers whom God tries to reach but whom close their minds and hearts to....
That is where Prophets come in to being needed and used by the Lord.
To reach out to those unable to hear Him.

Your Question is as well grounded in the physical element of existence as Religions veiw reality from, it so appears.
Religions also separate God from mankind as you have, they also make God "all knowing and all powerful" to make points as you have.
This is Non Spiritual in nature.
Jesus, Mohamad, Mirtha, Buddah, were a portion of God the Christian Church elects to name Jesus, A Latin interpretation of the name Issa.
God has come time and time again to different cultures in different times and places to teach the true nature of reality; in EACH case, a Religion was formed, many of such have since been forgotten.
You speak of God in the physcal sense as we all do, yet, God is a Pure Spiritual being and works in all realms of existence simultaniously.
As you speak of Mohammad and Jesus I tell you they are one and the same; as you speak of God "Implementing" thoughts into our heads" I tell you Jesus, Buddah and Mohamad were psychic events we intepret as "physical" as this is the only way we can interpret such events.
If I told you "Atlantis" has not yet been placed in our percieved past what might you think?
In this we see the complexity of the true nature of reality.
ATLANTIS being a model of Global fears one can see how anxiety is transformed into a physical past as, globally, spritualy, humanity fears an end to civilization and this fear creats as emotion creats. When emotion is fixed and psychic agreements occure, Atlantis will surface as a remnant of our past as displaced anxiety needs a place to go.

God doesn't need anything.
He does, however, give us choices. Were he to implant something into our minds that would negate our ability to choose, then what would be the point of our love for or hatred of him? If it was programmed, it wouldn't be freely given.
God doesn't want automatons. He COULD make us so, but he doesn't, because he loves us and so grants us our freedom.
Do not be deceived into thinking that God can't and that God needs.

Most folks have a lot of experience ignoring the Still small voice of YHVH. (He is very polite, and does not raise His voice, lest we all be destroyed) Therefore, in Love He selects special people to tell others of His love and His provision for our salvation. Most still don't listen.

You asked "What do you real thinkers think of this matter?"
Yet, you asked this on Yahoo Answers.
Thus, I am not sure how I can respond to a question that is, in its context, an oxymoron.
Sorry.

The letter [ Year 2513, next 1110 years, many write, done 443 before Christ ]. from God [ called the bible ], is through obedient man [ prophets Pet.1:20,21; 3:2-4 ]; for man, Moses 857 years after flood, began to give the law of the land and the laws of God year 2513, to the 603,550 family members of Abraham and heirs to the Promised Land to end the land pirates claim, to fill the land with obedient law keepers and law enforcement people respecting God and his earth and his gifts and his letter [ the bible they were writing ], for his people to death of Moses 897 years after flood Deut.34:7; Joshua ends 40 years 14th day New Year and Jordan crossed Josh.5:6,10,12; 898 years
after flood, Judges to Jair dies, Judges 11:26; 300 years to 1198 years after flood, year 2854 and 1212 before Christ, trouble still in the land surrounded by trouble and world Empires that keep getting more powerful.
At year 3460, 1804 years after the flood, and 606 before Christ, the Promised land is desolate, no temple, no king, all is captive to Babylon World Empire #3, Matt.1:1-17;
[1277 years after Abraham Gen.12:4; and Promised Land covenant, 947 years after Exodus 7:7; 12:37,40,41; Gal.3:16-18 [430 years after Abraham was 427 years after flood, is the Exodus and the law for the heirs ]; 907 years after Prophet Judge Moses dies, 906 years after Joshua crossed Jordan, 606 years after Judge Jair dies, 477 years after Prophet Judge Samuel dies,
1Sam.25:1; 431 years after king David dies, 1Ki.2:10,11; 391 years after king
Solomon dies, 1Ki.11:42; [ Solomon 1Ki.6:1; 480 years after Moses dies, he began the temple, he has 36 years to live ]; 18 Judah kings and Jechoniah
Eze.1:2; in captivity is lineage of Joseph the husband of Mary]. Mary is of the lineage of Nathan, son of David, and Mary at end of next 14 generations will be the mother of Jesus.
So after year 3460, 1804 years after flood, 606 before Christ [ THERE WILL BE NO KING UNTIL JESUS AT HIS SECOND COMING ], The books next are, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel and Daniel are done, Dan.9:2,24-27; The time to Messiah and he will be cut off, gets near as time passes Cyrus in Ezra 1:1-3; is in world Empire #4 [ Isaiah 44:28; foretold him 200 years ago ].
Gives decree to rebuild Jerusalem 536 Before Christ, Ezra, Nehemian, Esther, Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi at 443 before Christ O.T. done.
Greece world Empire #5 is 336 before Christ in Rome world Empire #6.
N.T. 50 to 100 years after Christ, 27 books, many write, published to the world 1611 after Christ, 396 years ago, world meant to have this letter from God [ called the bible ], in the last days and in the time of the end Matt. 24: 3 [this world will end ], 7 [ major wars as WW1, WW2 and holocaust ], 14 [ the world is to know what is going on and it brings all closer to the second coming of Jesus ], 15 [ Daniel's end time prophecy 12:1-13; Rev.12:3,4,6-11,12; Satan will have a short time in the end time ], 34 [ the father, son and his son generation ], 36 [ God alone knows the day and hour ]; TO THE WORLD JESUS WILL COME AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT. 1Thes.5:1-9,21; To
children of the light of times and seasons, Jesus does not come as a thief in the night. Year 2007 after Christ in Rome world Empire #6, 2613 years after
babylon world Empire #3, kings end, last Daniel gives Dan.12:12 [2x 1335 = ]2670 and world is 2613, after Babylon at 2007 after Christ. Is all in the last days?
SO HOW MUCH TIME DOES SATAN HAVE AS HIS SHORT TIME?
