(November 26, 2012 at 7:37 pm)Brakeman Wrote: God and jesus spoke to well over a million people as chronicled in the bible, but in today's modern world god seems to only speak to his people in warm, fuzzy, peace feelings. Why the abrupt change?

There is no abrupt change. There are centuries with no record of God speaking to people. That's the norm. Today is no different.

Similarly, critics frequently make a similar argument regarding miracles: God performed miracles all the time in Biblical times, but doesn't now. Why not? The premise is similarly flawed: centuries pass with no record of miracles. (If you think about it, that's a necessary condition of miracles.)
