That's actually schizophrenia


Oh, this is just hilarious. I've never read anything so witty.

OP, I agree with the PP who said "He does." Pray. Read your Bible. Express your needs and tell God specifically what is troubling or concerning you. He will absolutely reveal Himself, sometimes in subtle and often in surprising ways. And not ambiguous at all!


My understanding is that when God reveals himself it's always in subtle and surprising ways and yet completely unambiguous to people who are expecting God to show up. They see him easily -- because they have faith.

If you get faith, you'll see him too.

Several lifetimes? Don’t Christians believe in Heaven (or Hell) not reincarnation?

Taking several lifetimes to get to the point of elevating your mind to higher vibrations is very Hindu Dharma like where reincarnation until the point of Moksha is the belief.



God is God of everyone - not just Christians.

Even when he lived as a man on earth, there were many people who didn't believe Him despite his many miracles and coming back from death. There will always be people who will be blind/have hard hearts.


And no miracles since then -- unless you count statues shedding tears and a few virgin Mary sightings.

I think the way it works is that God weeps about the awful things and gets credit for the good things.

In what format OP.

I presume .god ?



OP here:
The audio version could be,
I am God and this is my message...
But the message should be clear enough to be heard and understood by all humanity.


PP here:
So .. how would you know EXACTLY that God authored the message? and not Me for instance?
Would you expect some tricks and miracles included to prove God is God and He approved this message?




The audio version is God speaking and people everywhere hearing and understanding it in their own language.

God revealed himself to Moses. In my faith. Are you like Moses?

God spoke to Job. Are you like him? Job 1:1 "that man was perfect."

Matthew 13:13 - "Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.”

Maybe God is everything? Maybe God runs through you like a river but you don't know it?




Beautiful, thank you

Anyone who dies is returned to God. That’s hardly evil. As for the family who survives the tornado, ask them if God comforted them or not. My family comes from the third world. Atheists wonder a lot more about their suffering than they do. They have no problem believing that God loves them.

This an all powerful god is responsible for untold suffering. I don’t see how anyone could come to any conclusion other than they must be evil

God reveals herself in very evidential ways in every moment. Most people are not open enough to perceive these things. Once you decide to raise your own vibration to meet the vibration of the spiritual world, you’ll see all kinds of amazing things. Everyone gets there eventually. It often takes several lifetimes. Jesus was able to do the things he did because he was able to walk the earth yet remain connected to spirit. He said “these things you can do, and greater”. Spend time in meditation. Ask for signs.
