IF god wants to save us, why has he allowed the truth of his word to be so uncertain? [Spirituality & Religion]

Why not make himself known to us so that we might choose to follow him or deny him?
Not guess whether he exists or not but KNOW and make our decision from there.

When Christ was here the first time He performed all kinds of healings and miracles and people still mocked and rejected Him.

And that was the best god could do?
You don't think that god could make it unambiguously clear that he was real if he so chose?
@Pikachu refer to curiosi post. Seek. I was like you too.
@1234567890a refer to my reply to curiosi
@Pikachu most people can't , won't see they are sinful and are at the end of their resources to deal with the sin issues in their lives. People hate being accountable to God that holds them accountable. They prefer their sin as opposed to living a Christ like life. That's the bad news. The good news is Christ. God with us in the flesh. He lived the perfect life, sinless and took the wrath I deserved, for my sinful life. He died on the cross and is living again. I have eternal life in Him and living an obedient life by faith in Christ. You will never appreciate the good news until you understand the bad news. You will continue to mock God the way you do. It truly is your loss. I was just like you though.

You're just preaching to me now.

There was a time in my life where i truly, genuinely sought god. Read the bible, BEGGED him to reveal himself to me.

Buuuuut he didn't. Maybe that's because i love sin, maybe that's because he doesn't exist😉
@Pikachu Reveal Himself, like a visit 😁🤗? He has in the Bible. If you want Him to speak with you, read it out loud and you'll hear Him 😉. I wish you no harm. I was the worst of the worst. I know now it took a lot more faith to believe in the idea that everything came from nothing, as opposed to reading the bible where a holy and just God holds me accountable for mocking Him with living my sinful life in His face.

Dude. Come on.

I know it's part of the playbook to suggest that the seeker is not looking hard enough or properly. But at some point can't you just accept that someone has genuinely sought your god and your god has remained silent?
@Pikachu Bible does say Christ gives grace to the humble and resists the proud. The person who humbles himself with a contrite heart, and cries out to Him for mercy in reference to his sin, He gives grace. If you're approaching Him with a prideful heart, and asking or demanding Him to meet some felt need as if He's a genie, I'd expect silence.
@1234567890a

You're just doing it again.

It MY fault that god remains silent. It's EVERYONE'S fault when god remains silent.
If they don't believe as you believe or experience what you experience then it's their failing.
@Pikachu I respect God and He can do anything He wants. He's holy, I'm not and I'm glad I'm enabled to know I'm accountable for the wretch that I am.

Good for you.
@Pikachu 🤗
