Good luck standing before God on judgment day and saying "Oh please" to Him when he asks why you never sought him out through His Word. You still have time to wise up.

Nah I won't say that. I will ask him why he tried to hard to keep himself hidden from the rest of the world.

He's doing what is necessary. He hides behind such that the qualified will be qualified. There's a reason why all the covenants are tied to Law and Faith. It is because humans need faith and obedience in order to live an eternity in heaven. And this can only be told openly (under the witnessing of the angels and selected humans) when God hides Himself behind.

Those who have faith will thus be qualified. Those who rely on knowledge may fail due to the lack of intelligence in figuring out God's intention. You choose to eat from the tree of knowledge, the same day you shall surely die.

How do we identify the "selected humans" besides their own self-claims?

MOD HAT ON

This thread is being closed after review by the Staff. There is more than one Non Christian replying in this thread, as well as debating and flaming in here. Let's keep in mind the Exploring Christianity Forum SOP:

No more than one non-Christian (the OP) may post in a thread.

This forum is for discussion of questions with non-Christians. There are some areas of theology in which different Christians may believe differently.
In these cases, we would ask Christians to refrain from debating the matter here. You may point out that there is a differing viewpoint, but please do not use this forum to debate with other Christians. If Christians wish to discuss various doctrines with other Christians, they should do so in the Theology forums.
