why do you think god doesnt show himself now a days

It is not that practical for GOd to show himself to people nowadays in ordinary times. I think he will just show up on special events in human history like the end of the world or something.

i think (not physically but spiritually) that technology and other forms of new discoveries have shut out peoples outlook on religion. with things like global warming becoming so prominent often question why its happening and if there is a god why is he/she letting it happen. i think that those who believe see his/her existence day in and day out. just a thought.

Hi wendyyuwie, (you got a yuwie account or something?), I do know 2 people who have seen angels. And have read about more that have also seen the other side. There is a reason not everyone sees into the spiritual world, I personally would like to, but only if it is G♥d's will.

Hello there. I have the same thoughts as you. I do believe in the existence of God even though He has yet to reveal himself. I believe it's because I am still not ready for His revelation. If one day, He were to really appear in front of me, I think I will be so overwhelmed that I'll just kneel down and wept. However, I do hope He can guide me through this difficult time of my life. It's very easy to lose hope when one is going through tough times. I am constantly reminding myself that God is always there (though sometimes I feel otherwise) and to remain faithful. God bless you.

You know it's funny you say that because I have really seen God recently but in my own life suppose. I was in New Orleans during hurricane Katrina. Our apt was on the second floor and we lived in the bywater, 9th ward, about two blocks form the miss river, when the wind and rain got really bad, of course the elec was already out and candles were burning, The wind pulledf over the big pecan tree in front of the building. It fell on our roof with a big crash and then then the roof started leaking and creaking you could tell the tree was about to come through the roof, well I climbed on bed, crossed my legs and closed my eyes and pictured Jesus picking up the tree under his right arm and dropping in the back yard of a neighbors house and believing with all of my heart that he would do it, and a few minutes later the tree picked up and went exactly where I willed it to. That is God enough for me he appeared and performed a miracle. Jesus lives.

personally i think God does not show himself to us in big groups as he used to in the context of what is written in the scriptures because as a whole society is sinful and most ignore his existance. Those who believe, believe whole heartedly even without actually seeing the face of God, they know he works in them in a positive way. Even those who acknowledge his existance sometimes lose their way. When we judge those tho do not live a righteous life according to the scripture we lose the message of love. We can only try to help those people have a better understanding of who God really is. People tend to think that going to church is automatically gonna get you to heaven, this is simply not the case. When we use denomination/tradition as a way to say "we are the only true believers" this is just plainly wrong. We all must come to the Father through Jesus Christ and his teachings. I am sure other faiths have these inter-tradition issues as well but when you focus on that, and the ritual, you are losing the most important part. I am not a learned scholar on scripture, I am a new Christ follower striving to grasp a taste of if you will of God's grace and mercy through Christ, and I am still learning, and struggling, but as one of my favortie songs by the band Third Day would go... I must go through the valley, to stand upon the mountain of God. Faith, dependence on the one who made us and the whole hearted willingness to learn from God and live HIS way, is what is good and right. We must get back to the origin's of his teachings and look at the deeper meanings of what Christ taught, for those are the true words and true heart of God.

Some time ago i was sent a story about a man that ask God to show him self and god did. he sent a butterfly. The man kept asking for things fromgod.I don't remember all of them but God kept answering the man's prayers but the man refused to see the answers. Finally a flood came and the man was sitting on the roof of his house He prayed to God to recue him. A boat came by but the man refused to get in so he drowned. Wwhen he got to heaven He ask God where he was when the man prayed. God told him that He sent him the butterfly and so on and so forth. Finely the man ask why God let him drown God ask the man why he didn't get in the boat he sent. My you are like this man. God is speaking to you but your not listening right. Something to think about

Nobody has ever seen God. God even forbade Moses to see him and he showed to Moses only his back for Moses would die if he sees him. He appeared to prophets in visions and in dreams, not actually face to face. Study the Holy Bible and if you have faith, you would know him.

God is all around u. He doesn't have to show his face for u to know that. Him waking u up each day should be enough..Also remember in the bible God said that no man shall see his face for if he does he will surely die. The only way anyone will see the face of God is to give up there body and be born again in spirit. Your angels come to you when u have faith and they speak to u when u are really listening. God is a jealous God and if u lose your faith in him he will lose his faith in u. Wendyyuwie continue to read your bible, pray, become content with God and then u will know without a doubt that he is there. God Says All things are possible (Luke 18:27) I love you (Matthew 11:28-30) I will direct your steps (Proverbs 3: 5-6) I am able (II Corinthians 9:8) It will be worth it (Romans 8:28) I forgive you ( I John 1:9 Romans 9:1 I have not given you a spirit of fear (II Timothy 1:7) Cast all your cares on me ( I Peter 5:7) I will never leave you ir forsake you (Hebrews 13:5)

Matt 21:33-39

Well, first of all, I guess that God doesn't need a physical presence for people to worship him. He is an almighty being and even if he doesn't show himself, he is still able to touch the lives of many people.

I Think he is afraid of the media nowadays. It would ask him such questions that he would be unable to answer and thus he is just moniyoring us from above the skies.
