Why did God reveal himself to illiterate goat herders in the desert instead of advanced civilizations with most of the world population like the Egyptians and Babylonians?

Because illiterate goat herders were humble enough to listen.

Because he's dumb I guess. Why would he make a life full of pain where only the most ruthless and cruel survive?

because the bible is jewish mythology taken seriously

Whatever his reasons were it seems to have worked

>>18058961 (OP)
He probably was stupid,revealing himself to those subhumans

Anon... Abraham was from Babylon then went to Egypt.

By revealing Himself to illiterate goat herders, the narrative emphasizes humility.

this söyjak image was based on a real video-recorded event that happened by the way

Why did God reveal himself to illiterate goat herders in the desert instead of sometime after the 2000s when we'd be able to record his message exactly as it was and have the distributive nature of the internet and media technology to preserve it as-is?

Doubt it. The fryer has no side, the oil would just spill out all over the floor.

>illiterate goat herders
what makes you think they were illiterate

God hates the proud who think they have built civilizations with their own hands and won't acknowledges that God wa the one who gave the order for their civilization to be bukt and was the one who sent the talent and the abilities for them to build it.

King Nebuchadnezzar said at the roof of his palace: isn't this the city in have bukt with my own power?

Next thing he knows he's eating grass with the mind of an animal in the wilderness next to the beasts of the field for seven eve years until he recognized god is sovereign over all kingdoms of earth.

But God loves the humble who acknowledge God might and sovereignty over them and the whole earth. And that gost herder called Abraham happened to be the humblest man on earth at the time.

Divine revelation strategically targeted nomadic cultures precisely because their oral traditions preserved uncorrupted truths far longer than literate, bureaucratic societies ever could.

Or goat herders for that matter...

Where is Babylon today? Where is the Egyptian pantheon? Now ask yourself where the Christians and jews are now. There's your answer

He literally answers this in the book if you read it, so no one can just say the things he accomplished were because of human power or ingenuity

>>18061174
Can you really blame them since they weren’t even aware of God’s existence? Why couldn’t God just simply speak to them?

Notice how Babylon doesn't exist?

Can you blame a man who rapes and murders your son because he did not know God?

It turns out that the mysterious ways were the friends we made along the way

Within 60 seconds of taking your last (worthless) breath, you will wish beyond hope that you could go back and accept Jesus. But it will be too late. You are going to burn, consciously, without even a moment's rest, forever. You will beg for annihilation, but it will never come. Millions of years from now, you will have nothing but millions of years of pain and regret at your back, and an eternity of unspeakable agony before you. I will laugh heartily at your calamity from the comforts of heaven. Tick tock.

You wouldn't listen to god?
