If God was real, wouldn't He want us to worship a god (Himself) who did not hide from His people?

Update:

A god who is absent is not a god to be trusted, because how would we know He exists?

Update 2:

In the OT God said He was a jealous god, and to WORSHIP no one but Himself! That sounds to me like a demand for believers to bow down to Him, don't you think?

Update 3:

Are you saying that God is ALL around? Then what direction should believers face when praying, lest some pray to His big "toe"?

Update 4:

Just what are we supposed to "see"? There is nothing to see, hear, or feel, so how do we know if He exists?

Update 5:

Do you EXPECT that there is a point?

    Ok, this is purportedly an answer from Jesus himself to that question: The site isn't that well programmed. The third link is the whole book. The first two deal with the manifestation of God to the world.

    As I understand it, you can't see God physically but must see him spiritually. Jesus makes himself known to everyone in a way customized just for them.

    Singh's biography is very impressive. He was a christian of the last century whose conversion experience and life was a lot like st. Paul's.

    I know what you mean though. Why wouldn't God do something like skywriting in fiery letters for about a week so that the whole world could not fail but see it? Yet, he did something like that in Lourdes and fatima, but how many of us just take it for a mass hallucination?

    God does not hide. People choose to not see.

    It really is that simple.

    It's English.

    Seeing can be with sight. Seeing can be with understanding. Seeing can be other things as well. All are legitimate uses of the word seeing.

    Now look at the context and figure out which one.

    Why would God hide from His own people who He created?

    He doesn't hide. You have to have the heart to feel and belief and keep faith in Him.

    Did God ask you to worship him?

    Who did God ask to worship him?

    Do YOU fall into that category?

    One would think so, that He would reveal himself rather than requiring "faith" (belief without proof).

    God is real.

    He's not hiding, He's waiting.

    He who hides last, hides best.
