What's your view on him? Are you curious about God and why he never shows himself? Why does he seem to be slow on giving us what we want? Post your opinion here!
In my view, I believe that the God of the Bible is real; that He is self-existent, which is to say that He has existence in Himself; that He created and sustains the universe; and that He is the standard by which we measure everything else.
I think that God does show Himself to people but in various ways with different people. I believe that if God were to show up on planet earth, as He did 2000 years ago in the form of Jesus, people would still fail to recognize Him, just as they did then.
As to answering prayers, I think God does answer them with either a "yes," "no," or "wait"; and even Jesus, when He was praying to God, said, "Nevertheless not as I will, but as You will." And although I believe God doesn't answer prayers in such a way that they are either scientifically observable or analytically demonstrative, I believe that the results of some prayers are.
