The God of Israel in the old days would speak to them or even chastise them for their bad behavior so why does God not speak to us today. ???
A real answer please.
Because all the evidence of evolution on this planet over millions of years is totally convincing, while the fairy stories built up over the years by people people denying that death is the end are not.
I only have someone else's claim that a God spoke to the Israelites. The word of someone with a vested interest in having folk believe. Why should I accept such a claim in the first place ?
