Why doesn't God just come down and clarify a few things?

Wouldn't that make sense....that God should come down and answer all our questions and tell us what he really wants once and for all? I mean he doesn't have to come here for long, maybe just chill on Earth for a month to answer questions, then go back to heaven once we understand better.

that's what the bible is for. It has everything that you need to be saved.

Cuz that's not how he rolls 8)

So...this "bible" is like an external hard drive?

What if he wants for us to figure it out for ourselves? :P

Why would He waste His time with mere mortals and our quarrels?scorch-62

Does he have better things to do?

the bible is god's inspired word. when those writers wrote the bible, the Holy spirit inspired them to write it in their own words. and also, even though different denominations interpret some verses differently, all christians believe in Jesus christ as their lord, which is what they need to be saved.

So what kind of poker game is it? Since money isn't important to them, do they play using peoples' souls instead of money? :shock:

Am I gonna go to hell for that :?, I hope not :(.

Don't worry. You didn't do anything to warrant eternal torment.

This topic makes me laugh.

A few questions, then, out of curiosity:

1. What were Jesus' last words on the cross?

2. To whom did Jesus first appear after his resurrection?

3. How much did Jesus speak about himself?

4. If we wish to be justified, is it by observance of the Law, or by faith that we may be so?

God hasn't shown himself, ever, since the dawn of man for one very good reason. He doesnt exist.

1. Forgive them, Clint Eastwood, for they know not what they do.

2. Clint Eastwood

3. Not as much as he did about Clint Eastwood

4. It is by observance of whatever Clint Eastwood dictates

Hope that clears things up for you. :)

Everything that god wants us to know now is supposedly in the Bible. But I do have a question or two that I'd like him to answer.

Wouldn't that make sense....that God should come down and answer all our questions and tell us what he really wants once and for all? I mean he doesn't have to come here for long, maybe just chill on Earth for a month to answer questions, then go back to heaven once we understand better.

Right. And every single Hindu, Bhuddist, Muslim and Jewish person on this earth (which none of believe in Jesus) is entirely wrong. Just you are right. With no proof but a 2000 year old book. You seem awfully certain of yourself. Is this perhaps because you were born into your religion. Would you be Hindu if you were born in India? Would you be Bhuddist if you were born in Tibet?

to be fair, that's what the fairsees said about the old testament and that turned out not to be true. Who are we to say that God can't continue to speak today like he did beforehand?

Because if god does exist (a big if), and he exists as depicted by the three religions of the desert, the last thing he cares about is you or your soul.
