I'm not talking about music or math.I don't know that he did. For all I know that was an embellishment.But in the OT he did enlist people to bring his message to others.Not at all. I have no idea how you even made that leap in logic. God didn't enlist me and I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. I am defending my beliefs from attacks from others.So now you're comparing yourself to Moses and the others that god allegedly spoke to?God didn't enlist me and I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything.I always wondered by any god would have to enlist humans to convince other people to believe in him.GOD selected a representative group that were suppose to be the beacon of GOD (HIS representatives/missionaries) to the other nations. And in fact Joseph would be GOD's emissary the the nation of EGYPT, Solomon would influence the surrounding kingdoms, as Daniel would be the the emissary to BABYLON, and Ezekiel the PERSIANS, etc... This group would be the linage of the MESSIAH --- who would make salvation possible for the entire world.
Why not just appear to everyone at the same time ?
I am defending my beliefs from attacks from others.
If he was indeed all powerful why did he have to send Moses the 10 Commandments? Why not just appear to everyone on the entire planet and declare himself?
But it seems to me that for any given thing there will be some who have a natural talent for it and those are the ones who NATURALLY end up instructing others who have less talent in it. So whether we are talking about music or math or science or spirituality there will always be a distribution within each subset. The better naturally instruct the average.
I am asking why an all powerful god can't deliver his message all the people he supposedly created at the same time.
There weren't that many people living back then so I think it wouldn't have been too much for a god to handle.
