If god created everything AND were relevant [only] to humans; why has it been partial to certain times, places and persons? Shouldn't god's acknowledgment automatically exist in each of us, from birth to death, like the breath?

Not sure I understand the question. Sorry.

I'm not sure I understand the question either, but I think the answer is the God chose to give us "free will" and allow us to make our own decisions and choose our own beliefs, right or wrong. I am glad He did it that way!

I'm guessing this is an anti-Jewish question, and I'm hesitant to answer it, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I'm not sure why I'm doing that, as you've asked so many of these questions today. I would argue that there is a level of knowledge of God inborn in all of us. That is why every culture has had some kind of worship and some kind of God. However, we humans don't do a very good job of understanding anything in a vacuum. Put a child in an institution where they get no stimulation and see what you get when they grow up. Does any child learn to read or talk or have manners without being taught? Well, we don't learn about God without interacting with Him either. As to why it has to be partial to certain times, places and persons, this is the part that I suspect is anti-Jewish. If God is going to make His Son fully human, His Son is going to have human parents and a human family. As such, He has to pick someone and the someone He picked happened to be Jewish. Get over it. If He is God, He gets to pick, not you or me.

Your premises don't follow. If God created everything the second part of your question makes no sense. He would not only be relevant to humans. Everything is everything. God's essence, awareness and truth resides in the core of our spiritual being, the soul. It is eternal and conscious of God. We can't see that any longer due to the mind numbing effects of living life day to day in physical reality. This is the dream. Wake up! God is watching and waiting.

Others are going to say something like, "god is omniscient, therefore we should not question him for we cannot always fathom the answer or reason." If there is a god, he doesn't have to reveal himself. He can just do what he wants. Questioning him may mean nothing to him, or just amuses him, or angers him, etc. Speculation like this is futile (but I do it anyways)! You're basically thinking something along the lines of this: "if there was a being like a human, but was much more powerful than a human, wouldn't it make sense to do something this way because it only makes sense?" Like I wrote above, if there is a god it is highly probable his knowledge far exceeds any humans, thus his decision making is being based off a line of thinking that is superior to our own. Or perhaps he only holds power(s) greater than us, but may think similarly to the way we might. Who knows?

We live and move and have our being in God. If that's too "biblical" of a phrasing, then, as part of "creation", our nature is one with the nature of creation. Not many people take a breath and look within and still their chattering minds to realize this. Or if they do, then they don't do so regularly so as to let it permeate their lives and consciousnesses. There's no force out there that's going to force you to do so, or to do a "miracle" at 3:15 every afternoon to provide continuing reassurance that it exists.

Well, if we are assuming that god does exist, which theory are we going on? Christianity? I mean I could come up with reasons, but it doesn't make them right. Like maybe god died 1500 years ago. I personally think the only reason why god has been partial to certain times, places and persons is because once the age of enlightenment began, it became impossible for any religious person to push unbelievable stories with no basis in fact. For instance, during the Salem Witch Trials people pretending to go into seizures and claim they were under a spell would have been admitted as evidence. This obviously came to end and so did the dramatic acting attempts, though the lying didn't. . I don't think god does exist, at least not in the supreme being sense, therefore I think we only gave him relevance because a certain number of people allowed him to be relevant, or forced him to be relevant. Science hasn't answered everything for us yet, but it's at least doing a good job of inhibiting the authority that religion once claimed.

If you are a professor, most of your students are there just to get a grade, or just to get credit for the course. There are a few who actually listen to what you say, ask questions, and think about the answers you give. The first group is like most people in their relationship with God; they go to church ( or synagogue or temple or mosque ) because they were raised that way, or because they're afraid not to, and for many other reasons. The second group is like those who seek God and listen when he speaks. They are the ones with whom God can work. He blesses them with his word because they sought him. We are all born with the need for spirituality hard-wired into our brains ( this has been demonstrated scientifically ), but only a few actively seek him.
