Hey! Quit stealing questions from my side of the fence!
You raise a good point, Flip. If god is consistent and never-changing, we should be witnessing miracles that could never be explained by science, the faithful should be talking face-to-face with god occasionally and there should be present day equivalents of Moses and Paul. Why didn't god strike dead those who bring such a bad reputation to his name, like Koresh and Jim Jones? He certainly is said to have done that a lot in the O.T.
I'd agree that he's either changed his character a lot, left town 2000 years ago or never existed in the first place. Go ahead...guess which opinion is mine. :)
