Why did God have to just pick Moses to give everyone the ten commandments? Being all powerful and being all places all the time couldn't he have just told every human in person so to speak at the same time? I mean why leave something so important to one person to spread to the whole of humanity? Doesn't seem logical or efficient. If God really wanted all his children to know the word of God why would he only tell a few and hope it gets to a small indigenous tribe in Africa before they die not knowing the lord and are dammed for all eternity.
I would love to hear a educated answer other than that's his plan or he works in mysterious ways. First place I don't think or have been taught that if a tribe in Africa has not heard the Word they will fry at judgement. How just would God be if they hadn't heard the Word and He still sent them to fry? Some of my other Baptist friends would tell me its my mission to sow the Word and if I don't reach people they will go to that bad place and it will be my fault for sins of omission. I don't believe everything my friends tell me, lol. The word in Romans 2 says, 12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. 14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) 16 This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares. I think it was James that had a thread way back where this was covered pretty good.

Basically, do you need Moses to know right from wrong...... No my mom taught me those things......
......I just send a group text and they get the information directly from me at the same time and I'm not all powerful all knowing and everywhere all the time.... I just have a cell phone.
First you ask why God used Moses, then you say your mother taught you right from wrong, Then you fuss because God doesn't appear right before you and miraculously "enlighten" you. I guess you can't make God play by your rules.

All I'm asking is that if God can do anything, because he is God , and he wanted all people to follow and obey/love him , with all he could do with making all Planets/galaxies the universe and all things why would he not go to each person and command such things of man, surely he should and could have came to each individual in a blink of an eye and spoke to all his children and/or produced a book of his own making for them to be aware of his greatness instead of relying on mortal man to believe other mortal men that what they say is true. It only makes sense that he wouldn't rely on flawed human beings to deliver such important information when he could have done this with ease, as is nothing beyond his power. I don't know about any of you but I don't trust anyone more than myself when it comes to the well being of my children.
There is nothing wrong with you if you don't know the answer to my question. I don't know the answer or I wouldn't have ask it. IMOH, I don't think you will accept or agree with any answer given here on TMan so, try this: Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV) - “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”[b][/b]

I would love to hear a educated answer other than that's his plan or he works in mysterious ways. First off he did tell everyone enough for them to find him if they seek him. "For from the creation of the world the invisible things of Him are clearly seen, being understood through the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse." Second, physically demonstrated his love by DYING wasn't good enough, but a voice in your head would convince you? Doubtful!
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

I don't doubt for a second that a guy called Jesus, the worlds first hippie, was publicly executed by roman soldiers. Its all the fairytales created a couple centuries later I have trouble with.

God is not late by a couple centuries, but is way ahead of mankind. Sure hope you don't get caught in a bad April fools joke for being late to see, Danny.

Yep, that makes sense too. Eternal torture for suspecting religion was invented by humans so the inventers could gain.

Yano, several people have mentioned in this conversation and others that they prayed to God and he never answered. I heard a song the other day and the one line that stuck with me was "praying to a God we dont believe in, so the question i ask is where the f*** is your God now?" And its a very good line, because if you were God would you answer the prayer of someone who doesn't believe in you? No I dont think you would, you may try to tell me you would but I dont think you would. You prayed once and didn't get the answer you wanted, now God doesn't exist. That makes total sense, the other thing is that people say they can't make sense of the Bible, they can't rationalize it. But I can't rationalize evolution or anything along those lines. And I definitely cant rationalize that we are just here with no purpose, that we are born than die and thats it. that doesn't make any sense. So stop saying the Bible and God aren't real because you don't understand it
