Why is it that God only spoke to a very few people in the Middle East?

If we had internet 5000 years ago, god could have reach everybody via his blog.

yep, God is more into successfull people. he is probably getting bored with all those hungry people begging and praying all the time.\n\ni guess i would have to come to the same conclusion as you have. else it would mean that God is horrible creature, so, i prefer thinking that he doesn't exist at all.

Assalamoalakum brother,\n\nYes, I have also noticed this, and although I don't know for sure if there were prophets among the jinn, I think that makes a lot of sense. God sent prophets from among every race and type of people, so I can't see how that wouldn't include the jinn. Very good observation. It's funny how sometimes we read something so many times, but don't really notice subtleties like this. I will have to reflect on this. Salam.\n\nBrother Omar, \n\nI have had a discussion with my husband about this, and he has also said that there were no prophets who were jinns, but there were jinns who listened to the messages from the prophets, and accepted Islam, just like humans. SubhanAllah. It is such an amazing thing that they have their own world, and they can cross into ours, but we can't cross into theirs. I think that in itself really does explain this specific verse. They can cross into our world to hear the message from the human prophets, SubhanAllah. All of the prophets were humans, brother. Assalamoalakum.

Good question.  You should ask Bush, he's the evesdropping expert.  I'd expect that God has slightly better hearing than the devil. Still it must be hard for even him because there are like always a million people praying all at once.

It doesn't limit God, it uses the bible as a basis to believe that God appears as the three (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) but that doesn't mean that God is limited or that He isn't everywhere.

The fastest way to prove that this is completely false is to state the fact that only about 15% to 20% of the Muslims in the world are Arabs. There are more Indian Muslims than Arab Muslims, and more Indonesian Muslims than Indian Muslims! Believing that Islam is only a religion for Arabs is a myth that was spread by the enemies of Islam early in its history. This mistaken assumption is possibly based on the fact that most of the first generation of Muslims were Arabs, the Qur'an is in Arabic and the Prophet Muhammad was an Arab. However, both the teachings of Islam and the history of its spread show that the early Muslims made every effort to spread their message of Truth to all nations, races and peoples. Furthermore, it should be clarified that not all Arabs are Muslims and not all Muslims are Arabs. An Arab can be a Muslim, Christian, Jew, atheist - or of any other religion or ideology. Also, many countries that some people consider to be "Arab" are not "Arab" at all -- such as Turkey and Iran (Persia). The people who live in these countries speak languages other than Arabic as their native tongues and are of a different ethnic heritage than the Arabs. It is important to realize that from the very beginning of the mission of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, his followers came from a wide spectrum of individuals -- there was Bilal, the African slave; Suhaib, the Byzantine Roman; Ibn Salam, the Jewish Rabbi; and Salman, the Persian. Since religious truth is eternal and unchanging, and mankind is one universal brotherhood, Islam teaches that Almighty God's revelations to mankind have always been consistent, clear and universal. The Truth of Islam is meant for all people regardless of race, nationality or linguistic background. Taking a look at the Muslim World, from Nigeria to Bosnia and from Malaysia to Afghanistan is enough to prove that Islam is a Universal message for all of mankind --- not to mention the fact that significant numbers of Europeans and Americans of all races and ethnic backgrounds are coming into Islam. \n\nhttp://askmuslims.com

He does come to us. He does talk to us. You are missing it. For you sake, I hope one day you will wonder why. Asking questions is a good start. The one you have ask is going in the wrong direction.  You must ask yourself: 'but , what if the Bible is true'? Now try to answer that. \nYou are just as special to God as Abraham was. The Bible says that Abraham "believed God", and that alone made him righteous. Abraham was no saint. That means that God has time for you. Do you, for him?

you kind of have to read between the lines when Jesus Chirst is speaking. since he is talking to a jewish believers, he is telling them that he has more sheep/followers who are not in front of him but spread through out the world. and that all his followers are not just jews but from other races as well.

God takes sides??  Does he love this country more than his children in IRAN and IRAQ?  He plays FAVORITES?\n\nOMG.  I thought his love was equal!  Hmm, I guess I'm wrong.. \n\nHe's already bombed the Iraqis..  When you say MIDDLE EAST, do you include Israel, too?  \n\nDo you really think he's going to strike out on Iran?  We don't need to when Israel can do it again.\n\nUgh.. my head hurts from stupid questions like yours.

I feel he has to step it up a little.  I believe there are still some muslims left in the mid-east and he hasn't colonized quite enough countries yet.

There were other humans that the bible doesn't speak on much.

Although the Christians will say it's Christians - 2.5 billion, indeed! - it is probably Muslim. It simply isn't sensible to count all 350 million Americans, and CERTAINLY not 60 million Britons, because there is no way they are all Christian. The depth of faith among Islamic countries is far higher, they have higher populations - countries such as Indonesia start off with 800 million. Obviously not all of those are Muslim, but a higher proportion of Indonesians would say they were, compared to Christians among Britons, Mexicans, Canadians, Poles, Russians and so on. A show of hands for the GENUINE Christian/Muslim would almost certainly show for more Muslims worldwide.\n\nIncidentally, the numbers game is pretty irrelevant. There are no-where near that many atheists (I'm not going to include China for the reasons above), and yet we're the ones who are right. Go figure.

I don't see any reason why God couldn't have created a whole bunch of other worlds and put beings of some sort on them. Just because it isn't in the Bible doesn't mean anything. I mean, why should some other world we may never even encounter affect the way we're supposed to do things? If they exist, they've presumably got their own version of the Bible and other holy books.

According to the latest  census available up to 2000, out of the total World population of 6,043,284 thousands, the Muslim population is 1,213,373 thousands which comes to 20.08% of the total population. Christians are 2,052,145 thousands which is 33.96% of the total. Jews are 14,424 thousands which is 0.24% of the total.\n\nMuslim population is growing at the fastest rate  due to high birth rate among them  in Afro-Asian region and polygamy as allowed in the Quran. The Jews' growth rate is in negative. At the present rate their number may be reduced to less than a million in the whole world over next 5 decades. The growth rate among the Christians is steady since 1950. They are getting lots of poor people converted through Missionaries in China and India who are called Crypto Christians whose number is not reflected in the figures given above.  \n\nHope, this meets your requirements. For anything more, please contact me over Internet. Thanks.

Moses may have been hallucinating from lack of water and food up on the mountain when he chisled out the ten commandments and "Talked with God". People in those sorts of states very often don't make much sense...

There are many places in Africa where people find the real God, get healed, find the purpose of life and vision; and although many countries and tribes on that continent are still unreached, the number of local pastors and churches grows constantly. My friend went to northern Ethiopia to preach (despite war) and I may go to Central Africa too.\nIt is in Africa, where witchcraft and cults are the strongest and the scariest, and on the other hand - it is  i n Africa, where  miracles of the Holy Spirit are performed on daily basis. \nAnd, considering a chance of sensing God, in Romans 1:19-20 it is said: "since what may be known about God is plain to them (men) because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - His eternal power and divine nature - can be clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse". Everyone has a chance to see God's qualities in nature around.\nThat's my opinion, and I may be not wise, but I share my thoughts with you so that it might help.\nBlessings!!!!!!!!!
