Why is God Hidden? - Ron Rolheiser

John 20:29 Jesus said unto him, “Thomas, because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed. Blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed.”

Hiddeness requires a serious search for God, which would lead to a relationship. God revealed to someone could lead to acknowledging that He exist, shock, and awe, but no intimate relationship.

Except for being 'at One' with the Most High? 🙃

If the reality of God were revealed, our freedom of choice would be compromised. It would be difficult to choose a life other than that commanded by God. Without true freedom to decide who we want to be, how can we become who we could be? And without freedom there is no true creativity. Freedom of destiny and our creativity depend on the hidden nature of God. Not completely hidden of course, so that those who truly seek can find sufficient evidence for faith. This is why I doubt the teachings on fallen angels. How could a very intelligent pure intellect, that knows the reality of the Divine, and understands all the implications of choosing against God, make a choice against the Divine? I don't find that credible.

🙏🏾We would have no Choice if it were not for our Intention? Intention born of Inspiration meeting our presently perceived Circumstance? ('Circumstance' means 'standing around the Centre'?) 'Sufficient evidence for Faith' - Sufficient implies finite while, beyond, there lies Infinity? Within Limits lies your Questioning, Limitless is the Questioning created by the Most High? Etc etc 🙃

Jewish scriptures? Or Hebrew Scriptures? 🙏🏾
