[quote author=andyboi4real post=57389269]I just finished reading the Bible, when I realised that God Has never lived among men. The closest he came was when he visited Adam and Eve in The Garden Of Eden, Apart From Them only Moses has come Closer to Seeing God and then he only saw the back of God.
So I was wondering why does God hide his identity, is he afraid of his creatures or perhaps he is a proud person that takes Glory in his invincibility or maybe he is not as Beautiful as the Bible describes him to be?
[/quote idarida,so let's asume he's mot hndsome or beautiful as u call it,I think a man dat can do all things can turn to whatever he Want,beautiful or ugly,why should he reveal his identity anyway,u know get work

Watch your tongue op. There is a big difference between reading the bible and understanding it. If you study carefully,you will find out that the angels in heaven glorify God day and night but only a handful of them can behold his glory and they all have various roles and level of importance. Talkless of us humans who were made a little bit below the angels. Even at that, what happened to Moses when he saw the back of God? remember God covered his face as He was passing by him and only allowed him to see his back. Yet what happened to him (moses) after seeing the back of God? or what would have happened to the people of Israel if they had come closer to the mountain of God as His glory poured down on it. A man of flesh and blood carrying the mortality of man cannot see God. But guess what, you still see Him through His works, promises and words. Which is why you have to continually study the bible.

He should reveal himself because he should have better understanding the implication of not doing so.
- it leads to doubt of his existence
-it leads to confusion about him among people who believe he exists
-it leads to impersonation (anyone can claim to be God or God's messager)
- it leads to disregard for his laws

@ Op, God cannot reveal himself because he exists only in the mind of people who believe he exists.

Man created God.

If you really finished reading your Bible, you wouldn't need to ask this kinda question. Unless you don't believe God was telling the truth when He told Moses that he would die if he sees His face. Man cannot withstand His glory.

And in the 3rd day, man made God in his image and in his likeness.

God is a man-made myth.

God didnt only visit Adam and eve. He walked with them. This is how our relationship with God is meant to be until they introduced sin into themselves by eating the forbidden fruit. It is that sin that seperated us from God.


It made us so dirty that we cant comprehend the glory of God. Except when he appears in another form. Eg burning bush that wasnt really burning

lolz, ok. God doesn't hide his identity. God is spirit, Man is lives in a suit, which is the body, body lives on earth, spirit lives in heaven. ever wondered the reason why the word had to come in an earthly suit (Jesus), it's because spirit cannot live on earth.

That one isn't even God Almighty but one of his numerous creatures. God Almighty is in everything and does not appear to anybody physically as Yahweh and Allah his children did. . https://www.nairaland.com/2938907/
