Why doesn't God share His knowledge?

bluebison25 said:😂 If God doesn't exist, nothing fundamentally changes. You’ll still be stuck spinning your wheels and talking absolute nonsense, won't you? 😂

Because He handed down the laws we’re required to live by.

😂 Of course it isn't.

He handed them over simply because he’s older and sharper than any of us. It's basic common sense.

😂 Please, don't compare him to Tovar. That guy was a fool, sure, but at least he lived in an era before the internet—back then, he could actually look people in the eye and tell them the truth about things being round. 🙂

That’s like saying you're smarter than a toddler reaching for a glowing stove burner just because he doesn't realize it'll burn him.

Oh, please. What exactly makes him smarter? Because he can hide invisibly above the clouds? Give me a break.

If God didn't exist, the sheer injustice of this world would be unbearable. It’s a total lottery where some people are born into massive wealth while others struggle to survive, some are gifted with perfect health while others face constant illness, and some are blessed with beauty or intellect while others aren't. Without a higher power, that kind of cosmic unfairness is just senseless.

If only things would actually happen when they're supposed to. It’s like waiting for a delayed flight at JFK—you just sit there staring at the departures board, knowing nothing is moving. God exists! It would be an immeasurable injustice if some people were punished in this life only to face retribution again in the next. If that’s the kind of God we're talking about, then frankly, such a deity is just plain sadistic.

Since this life isn't everything, there will be a period in eternal life that is the complete opposite of our current reality. You can't cry injustice on Earth when the full picture hasn't even been revealed yet.

😂

Jesus said that those who are first on Earth will be last, and those who are last will be first. It’s a total reversal of everything we think we know about status.

Look, Jesus basically tells you to cut off your junk and live a life of total misery just to make it into the "eternal hunting grounds," so why wouldn't you just listen? If that's the deal, why is the Pope swimming in gold instead of actually following Jesus's example of living in poverty?

- all this talk about God-Jesus

Best,

lol

Regardless of what you all say, God exists!

He isn't some eternal being, as I've already stated.

The truth is that God gave harsh laws in the Old Testament, but Jesus rejected them in the New Testament and provided new ones.

Everything Jesus said and commanded is right there in the Bible, so let's not keep repeating ourselves.

As for knowledge, God will demonstrate His power in this era as well, and you will see for yourselves.

Why hasn't God revealed certain knowledge before?

What would Galileo have had to say back then?
Or Copernicus?

Or Newton?

Or Einstein?

They wouldn't have had anything to talk about, because the very things they are famous for would have already been discovered.

How did the universe actually begin?

We don't even know that yet, do we?

Perhaps God will choose someone once again to reveal that to us.

One never knows.

Regards

God picked me to deliver His messages, so yeah, it's me.
Anyone who doesn't listen is gonna face God's wrath.
First thing's first: stop giving money to priests. It's a sin against God.

Poor folks shouldn't be handing cash over to those filthy rich priests. Amen!

Why doesn't God just share all the knowledge?

Possible reasons:
1. God isn't real.

2. God is basically just a bored kid. He’s up in heaven having nothing to do, so he’s just messing around. Imagine throwing maybe 7 billion marbles—roughly the population of Earth—into a bingo cage and letting them rattle around for a bit. When one marble finally pops out, God reads the lucky name written on it and "graciously" hands over some divine wisdom. That lucky guy ends up down here being recorded in history books as some great mystic, an enlightened soul, or maybe just the founder of some random cult. 😁
As for everyone else who didn't win the heavenly lottery, I guess God just shrugs and mutters, "The rest of you can go try your luck with The Los Angeles Times. Better luck next time."

3. Maybe God thinks we’re smart enough to figure things out ourselves. Or maybe he just wants us to actually work for it; I don't know, he probably can't stand lazy people, so he stays quiet on purpose.

And when humans go overboard with wars, debauchery, and whatever else, then he gets annoyed. He burns down a few cities, wipes out some "Satan-influenced" nations, and stuff like that... just so it doesn't look like he's doing absolutely nothing.😁

4. Or maybe God actually wants us to know everything, but then there's that jerk Satan—the Adversary, the Prosecutor—constantly messing with his plans by tempting and lying to people. And poor God just lets him run wild, I guess, just to see who stays loyal and who doesn't.
He could probably wipe out Satan in the blink of an eye, but he just won't decide. Like, he's just dragging his feet. He's waiting for the right moment or something. There's always some Apocalypse in the works, but God seems to be playing around with the dates. Maybe the heavenly accountants are always messing up the paperwork... nobody's perfect, I suppose.

Since you claim God has chosen you—which, granted, isn't an impossible feat—could you perhaps clarify something for us? Is God a single person, a Trinity of three persons, or merely some sort of cosmic force?

Do you honestly believe God doesn't exist?

You couldn't be more wrong.

You'll encounter Him sooner or later.

I know, but I can't say too much. You gotta keep believers in the dark and scared... that's why they're always threatening them with some upcoming Apocalypse, and the Bible is so vague even the priests can't make sense of it. Believers aren't supposed to think for themselves; they just have to listen. That's the only way to control them and drain their wallets.
Then there's that whole "Divide and conquer" thing, but I shouldn't go too deep on that...

One should not attempt to measure God by the standards of human beings, who are inherently flawed and prone to sin, just as we all are.

Yeah, you're totally right. We should definitely measure God against Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, and Pokémon instead. 😉

Which God are you actually referring to?

All those gods from every religion? It's all just the same kid...

Austin Martinez20 said:All those gods from every religion? It's all just the same kid...

The truth is, every single religion is pointing toward the same God, who actually exists.

Well, He might be real to some people, but for others—and I mean this sincerely—I fear He feels incredibly unreal!!😢😲😢
For example:

Take a guy like this—he’s viewed as a warrior of God, someone who simply executes whatever God commands him to do. And sure, he did it; he wiped out those servants of Satan.

But if you ask the parents of the people who were killed, they aren't exactly seeing God's hand in this... they're seeing Satan.

briskotter192 said:The truth is, every single religion is pointing toward the same God, who actually exists.

So, Jesus, Allah, and Buddha are all the same thing?

How do you even know He's actually real? You guys buddies on Facebook or something? 😂🤣

briskotter192 said:The truth is, every single religion is pointing toward the same God, who actually exists.

Best regards,

In my view, all religions are really just describing a specific state of mind where an individual reaches a sense of harmony with their own nature and the universe—a state of self-actualization and productivity characterized by internal peace and love.
The fact that these faiths have morphed into highly politicized institutions centered around personality cults surrounding figures like Jesus or Muhammad suggests to me that people have completely missed the fundamental essence of these spiritual paths, choosing instead to fixate on the outward packaging.

There is only one God, because there can only be a single cause for our entire existence.

Therefore, there exists a primary cause of all causes, and it cannot be more than one.

Whether we define that cause—or God—through fairy tales or through truth is a different matter altogether.

I know for a fact that God exists, whereas before, I was merely a believer.

There is a profound difference between simply having faith in something and truly knowing it to be true.

briskotter192, you don't have a clue—there's zero evidence to back up anything you're saying... and honestly, even if God actually exists, are you even sure you want to be getting involved with Him? I mean, look at how He treats kids, women, the elderly... it’s a mess. You probably haven't even cracked open a Bible in your life, and if you actually have, then frankly, I'm worried about you.
Look, I'll be real—I don't know if He's out there. I spent ages trying to convince myself that He was, but then I realized that if there is some kind of deity, He's completely incomprehensible... so I ended up just concluding that I don't know anything at all. It actually seems way more plausible to me that these Biblical gods were just some highly advanced civilizations... and honestly, there's more and more evidence pointing that way every day.

I know, my friend. I know God exists, and I assure you, you won't find yourself disappointed by Him.

If this life were all there was, then God would indeed be unjust.

But this life is merely the introduction to an eternal existence, as beautifully put by the Lord of the universe, Jesus Christ—the King of the First Civilization, which created both the cosmos and humanity.

He was either lying or telling the truth; there is no middle ground.

Actually, there is a third option.

Human beings might have invented it—priests, for example...

I am certainly not claiming that is the case, but I am suggesting it as a distinct possibility...

The identity of the author is secondary; what actually matters is whether the message itself holds truth or not.

Do you follow my logic?

You’re attempting to manipulate the conversation, but I'm afraid it simply isn't working.
