If, as it says in the scriptures, God loves His servants very much, would He hide from them? If your answer is "No, of course it wouldn't be hidden," read on: God is hiding from us, because if he were not hidden, everyone would believe in his existence. In this case, we would encounter a completely different world. That is, everyone would work for good and hope to go to heaven. But this world is a testing place. (that's what it says in the scriptures)
This makes sense. I also think it's important that God hides itself else this whole "faith" thing wouldn't work. If you know something for certain, then it's no longer faith.
In order for this world to be a testing ground, for good and evil to be separated, everyone would have to know that God exists or not exists equally. And that's what's really happening in our world.
Mhh, interesting. With "everyone would have to know that God exists or not exists equally" you basically mean that everyone has to be in the dark equally? This wouldn't work if everyone would know for certain that God exists or not, right?
I think the uncertainty is the more important factor, not that everyone knows equally imo. Some people might do more "research" and thus will end up "knowing more" anyway.
And yes, God makes His presence felt by those He wills. There is also an experiment that can be applied for this. Do you want to find out?
Yes

Before moving on to the experiment, I would like to make some observations:
  • Each prophet has his own miracles so that they can more easily convince people of the existence of a supernatural being. This desire to persuade is intended only for good people. People with evil in their hearts are not targeted. Because all religions have sent hope to good-hearted people living in societies mired in evil. Let's talk about every prophet's miracles: Moses: Wizarding ability Jesus: Able to raise the dead and cure diseases. Muhammad: The Qur'an
All religions have the same origin. (I'm talking about religions that are known and have books)
Obviously, they all tell the same thing and appeal to people's hearts first and then their minds.
According to my religion, Islam(It is the last religion, and since no other religion has yet arrived, it has been proven), Jesus is no different from Muhammad. Or Muhammad and Moses are the same for us. This fact is known and accepted only by well-educated and true Muslims which are a small group of people. The majority do not know and are hostile to each other. Let's move on to the experiment: Our miracle is the Qur'an. And the first word is "Read!"
The experiment is subjective. That is, each person conducts the experiment himself and draws the conclusion himself.
If it were otherwise, God would have declared his identity or existence to everybody. We've talked about it. He doesn't want it to be like this.
Experiment: To do what is written in the Qur'an and wants to be done until you reach a conclusion.
What are people being asked to do? Examples: Helping the poor Not distorting the facts Spouses do not cheat on each other Being clean and dressing cleanly Not using abusive language Not killing a man And of course, reading....
These are the first things that come to my mind. You will read the Qur'an and understand what is required and do it. You will do it again and again. Until you draw conclusions.
You can also decide whether the Qur'an is the word of God or not.
This is the only way to find God. And it's up to you. And only if He wills Himself to do so to you. I would like you to persuade him in a good and positive way. Good luck,
