The entitle a former believer questions why isn't God obvious to sincere non-believers. First of all: the fool has said in their heart there is no God . People who don't believe that God exists are fools. Second the world is deceived and countless people don't have the capacity/capability to understand how this is accomplished because their hearts are evil and they're not true believers. Some people start off in religion that strays miles away from true authentic Christianity so all their lives they might believe in god or Christ but then lose their faith because they don't see the fruits when they see an evil world full of decease where thousands maybe millions of people are killed like in world war 1 and 2. All the things happening with all the evils or the nations that are totalitarian regimes where people are persecuted they don't believe anymore. And then they see the amount of crime in their cities which discourages even further. They see the evil in human beings and they think God doesn't exist so live your best life now they think apes are their cousins eventually. The relationship was severed from sin . There was a time God walked among his people and then Adam and Eve sinned. Through one man sin entered into the world Adam. And one of God's cherubim angels rebelled became prideful and arrogant actually became prideful of his own vanity just like human beings are today prideful, hoarders of sin. There was a war in heaven and Satan and his angels were evicted. That's true the scriptures are true. So the relationship was severed. People don't care they only care about reaping this world and living a sinful life. Example gossip, evil entertainment, abortions, false worship and they live sinful on a daily level taking God's name in vain they live like Devils but they have no relationship with God nor know HIM. But they would expect God to expose himself and saying here I am like some magic genie doing miracles. The example is Christ did miracles but he went through some towns and rebuked, upbraided them for failing to repent. Rebuke is horrible it's not a blessing. People don't seek for God nor do they seek for truth they follow many false teachings doctrines of devils but they expect that the counterfeit god they serve will just pat them on the back and give them everything they want because God is some magic genie. God is Holy and the things men highly esteem are abomination on to God. T hat's the truth. And without referencing scripture re the description I'm trying to give you a down to Earth response to this question. And even when the real Christ came he was rejected, despised by his own people. To understand this you have to understand scripture. Think of all the miracles he Jesus/Immanuel did. He took 12 men and turned them into fishers of men. A tax collector and think of the sinful life these men were leading and he turned them into men of God although there was one devil among them Judas. He even saved a prostitute. Think of all the miracles that Jesus did which are true of course. Doctors would love to have this capability. Christ was holy just as God is Holy. He never sinned in his life as he is the unblemished Lamb of God. He told us what awaits for those who truly love God. Humans are too busy running after the sinful pleasures of the world. WORLD SUCKING HIPOCRITS! Look at the abortion rate yearly humongous. In Noah's day for example on Earth God brought the flood continually on people's mind was evil. You ever watch border Patrol shows the amount of people they catch trying to take something across the border sometimes huge amount of drugs, cash or restricted products. People lie through their teeth they don't love God nor know GOD and every liar will have their part in the Lake of fire that's a scary thought but it's true. So you must seek ASAP.
Sin is evil. Not love. God gift of salvation John 3:16 the gospel is the way. Christ is the way. Having a distorted view of love is what humans do. God is not sinful he is Holy
Okay after thoughts: Listen open your ears and your heart. We have very wealthy atheists in the world and some of them seem blessed as they even consider themselves blessed. We also have people that convert to Judaism and one of them particularly I know and they said they are blessed beyond measure but they don't know that they're losing their soul without Christ. Then you think of somebody playing the lottery for 10, 20 years and they win little amounts then one day they win millions and this has been reported more than once. They would think to themselves not even serving the real God or the real Christ just being world sucking hypocrites they think wow they've been blessed by the God of creation or by some great force. What they don't know is the devil is the god of this world and demonics exists and nothing is without measure. Be honest now if you were a counterfeit believer considering yourself to be a Christian and you won that amount of money would you soon go on vacation, buy the world and live like the rich. Would you get a beautiful car like a Ferrari, Corvette whatever it would be like an expensive car and live like you're a Rockstar. It would go to your head wouldn't it or would it what's the truth can you be honest? You know what will it profit you to reap the world and forfeit your own soul. This is what the young ruler asked Christ he was young and rich but he walked away sad didn't get/like the answer. He wanted the comforts of this life. Sell everything give the money to the poor take up your cross and follow after me said Christ.
Why would a loving God hide from me?
