Because, supposedly, he has the most important message for all of humanity. A message that everyone must get correct, or end up being punished for eternity.
Why would a god not want to communicate this message in the most accurate, least likely to be prone to errors, misinterpretations, mistranslations possible?
Instead he uses languages that he knew would know will die out, dictated to one of the most illiterate societies of the time, who wait for decades or centuries to record any of it.
Not very good long term thinking by a god that should know better.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
