if god is real then why does he hide?

He doesn't hide, I've found Him. You just have to seek, He's not going to jump out in front of you and yell "Here I am!" You have to look for Him, but He's never hard to find, if your looking with your heart. God bless.

Obviously you are soul searching.\n\nThe true God is the one who created all the beauties seen and unseen.  In his time, he will reveal himself to you.  Just be patient.

Because deep down they know he is real but just want to live for themselves. The Bible even says that demons know the truth.

Everything around you is true because of god caring for you. Anyone who says there is no god is making a fool of himself coz his/her very existance is due to a power beyond his/her imagination and control which we name god. This is regardless of religion/holy books. Imagine what would be your situation if you were running for your life in a place like Iraq. Instead you are sitting before your laptop , having fun in a protected environment, drinking coffee, hearing music and talking crap that "God is not there"...lol....which by itself proves that god cares. Some things are beyond explanation....

He doesn't have to show himself constantly, it is not a model but a God! and besides why do people need to see him in order to believe in him?? in every one of us there is god, he loves us and cares for us, he never does lose his love for us, but we do!! why?? because we don't see him present between us. he cant be between us he is God, the higher force and not a member!!

you can know god is living by looking at a sun rise and set,looking at the stars and the moon at night.by seeing all the wonderful things in nature we know god is alive because all this could not have happened by chance.

You can't say God doesn't exist. If you are saying his name, he is there.

Well he obviously wished himself into non-existence, hence the lack of evidence of his existence although there were mountains of evidence in Biblical times.  Yet he still manages to exist in the imaginiations of little children and theists.

"God" is a phenomenom that arises naturally in the minds of any group of people who get smart enough to even vaguely comprehend how complex the universe is.  If you lock a small child who has no knowledge of god in a dark cupboard, the child's mind will invent a "higher power" as a sort of defense mechanism.\n\nThis doesn't really prove or disprove the reality of "God" (with a big G), but is an interesting detail about humans minds.  It also accounts for the fact that throughout history people have developed various random theologies to account for what them see & feel, and to help them cope with oth the wonder & the death they see around them.

Yes God is real it is just that people have choices and to most it is easier to choose the way of the world instead of the way of the Bible. If people would really look at the way the world is now( to what it was say 10 or 20 years ago) that they try to take God out of everything they would see that it was better when they allowed God here. I just recently read that the new Pepsi cans has an American flag on it and the pledge of aligence but it is with out "IN GOD WE TRUST" how can they take that out of the one thing that this country has always stood on. All the way back to our founding fathers. I agree with you we need to put God back in out country.

Love the question.\n\nGot me thinking and this is what I've come up with:\n\nBecause it cannot be proved without a doubt that God actually exists (if it could be, it would probably be illegal to not be a Christian), to say "God speaks to me" is the equivalent of "I saw a real life dragon yesterday! It lives in my cupboard!"\n\nWhile both statements COULD be true, the essential fact of the matter is that if these kind of people are running around town screaming that God is speaking to them, they WILL cause mass panic and hysteria in their community.\n\nIn general, they are locked up in loony bins to be safe.\n\nSecond, Jealousy. "Why would God speak to that nutjob? I'm a better person than him-he MUST be crazy."\n\nThird, punishment for such claims used to be jail for being a heretic. I think a padded room is much better.

He is God, he always existed. This is difficult for man to understand because we are not infinite creatures. The finite can never understand the infinite.

from experience i would say he is probably hiding something. when i was hiding something from my hubby i didn't care where he went, and actually he didn't leave house enough. or may be if y'all go to church then maybe he has grown up and realized GOD SAYS HE NEEDS TO TRUST YOU. GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!!!!!

God won't be mocked. Even the most faithful who believe in God have not seen him, and just because you can't see him does not mean he doesn't exist. \nYou want proof of his existance but can you prove that he doesn't?\nLook around you, his proof is in all the beauty that you see in his creations. There also are many quiet miracles to behold. I know science would have us all believe that we were developed in a test tube, along with every animal,plant,bug or living thing. That is not the case. Besides the bigger question is WHY? There has to be a purpose for all this madness.
