So if god cares about humanity and our salvation, why do you suppose that he only revealed himself to some ancient middle eastern people? [Spirituality & Religion]

Why wouldn't he reveal himself to the different cultures and populations across the world? After all, this was a time when the world was much larger and the global dissemination of information was not only impractical but downright impossible.

So why don't we see diverse cultures all sharing a fundamental religion that could be recognized as christianity?

If god actually wanted to save all his humans, why do it in such an objectively ineffective way?

He's revealed Himself to all mankind, but, like always, not all men receive Him as God. He came in the form of Jesus Christ and men beat Him, whipped Him, put a crown a thorns on His head, and nailed Him to a cross. After He had risen, they still wouldn't believe. Question is: When is it going to be enough evidence for you to believe?

Well no, not really. He revealed himself to a realtively small group of people in one part of the world and from there [i]people[/i] told other people that he had revealed himself.
Since so many people have never heard of the god of Abraham, believe in other god or believe in no gods at all, this would have to be an objectively ineffective way to go about revealing himself.

Really? He's revealed Himself to you a number of times but you refuse to see Him as God. So, the question still stands: When is it going to be enough evidence for you to believe?

He revealed himself to a relatively small group of people in one part of the world and from there people told other people that he had revealed himself...just like you're doing now😉

You still didn't answer my question.

When's it going to be enough evidence for me? When it's more than hearsay. When it's more than people holding up an old book and telling me that it's deffs legit.
You can claim he's already shown himself till you're blue in the face...but he hasn't. Not to me.
Simple as that.

It's been way more than hearsay since we've been on here. You just refuse to see it.

I don't doubt that you genuinely believe what you're saying is true.
