I spelled it out like that so you might have been able to see the reason and the contrast between OT worship/relationship with God and how we have been able to know/worship god after the events of Acts 2 when the Holy Spirit was poured out on all who believed.
You're committing an ad hoc fallacy. You're making up unsupported excuses for a lack of evidence.
Meaning God no longer has to supercharge one person to be a repersentive, but all can potentially have an indewellment of the Holy Spirit. Which in of itself means that you as a believer are your own wittness/phrophet/testament. That is why I keep saying if you want proof of God then ask, seek and knock as outlined in luke 11.
That's not true. I was baptised as an infant, I was raised a Christian and as a Christian, I have the Holy Spirit in me. I used to believe like a literalist when I was really young. Every young child is a literalist. Most of us just grow out of literalism but in the US, 50% never grew out of it. I have never seen any evidence for God, whether as a literalist or as an enlightened non-superstitious CHristian now.
