Why Would God Hide?

[Jenny A]

The answer to the "Hiding" question is the same as the answer to the "Knocking" post.

Moses knew God face to face, and even he blew it when he had to step out in faith, and speak to the Rock ( he blew it by smacking the rock ( a type of Christ) like he did before, when he was supposed to speak to it).

It is nearly like a game- and it is ALWAYS our move.
The blinders come off (or should I say- the revelation increases) as we play the game.
I hate to use the word- "Game" but another parallel escapes me.

Yes, He does "Hide" and we, like little kids playing "Hide and Seek" are supposed to seek.
Maybe that is why "Child- likeness" is commended.

Silly, when playing hide and go seek, it, sees the hiders then closes his eyes before seeking. He knows before hand that the hiders exist.

That's rather different than seeking god or fairies.

Your Knocking thread failed for the same reason. There's no reason to endlessly seek that which has show no sign of it's existence.
