I cannot help from wondering why, if God has all of this Power, why doesn't God make it easy for man and speak in a clear audible voice to each person, not this spiritual internal voice stuff Christians keep referring to and many Christians mistake for their own thoughts.

I am trying to be open-mined about religion, and the Bible, but so much of it just makes no sense.
....sorry man I am too slow and too fast at the same time........... i am human.....making it easy seems to not work. Saving the Republic, Establishing the Republic.........When Rome Had it made ? It was over? Why God made it that way.....some people sing Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries........I believe the universe is in a war, a struggle, but I do not Think I have Gods EAR as much as HIS Love, His Help and Grace..........regarding misguidance..........iT happens, it happened......false prophets are everywhere,,,,,,,,,,,and more are on the way. JESUS IS IN YOU ,TUNE IN........IT IS LIKE A PERFECT SLEEP THAT BRINGS HELP, KNOWING, CONFIDENCE,FAITH...CALL ON HIM AND HE WILL ANSWER........BUT WITH TODAY'S TECHNOLOGY........HE MIGHT WRITE IT ON YOUR HEART....lET hIM HELP YOU

Perhaps--and I don't want to go too far out on a limb with this--but just perhaps...God does not have to explain Himself to us (or anyone else). It might just be the other way around. I'm just sort of wondering out loud.

Ha...isn't it funny how when God, being the all-knowing, creator of all matter, laws, physics,etc. of the universe, dictated his word to the authors of the bible, he decided to write his laws in an ancient, simplistic way. I mean, if God created gravity, shouldn't he have explicitly told the authors what gravity was. Why do we need to search through scripture for vague passages for these things.

True. I personally can come up with a list of at least 20 "born agains" who claimed they "heard the voice of God" and ended up on medication or received overnight accomadations in a mental ward.

Not necessarily. Just a superior being that is not required to explain actions to an inferior being (that He created in the first place!) If you have children, do you explain all of your actions and decisions to them? I'm sure there are parents who do--but I'm also sure that isn't necessarily a majority opinion.
