    Hi, GOD Bless you All! I love the Word of GOD!and seek a deeper and closer (more intimate relationship with The Lord, so I ask specific questions, the one I need an answer to lately, is why is there so little discussion of GOD the Father, like, ' did our Heavenly Father, because of adam & eves disobedience cut off communicating with mankind, and our Lord Jesus has been the one to speak with mankind until Jesus redeemed us?

    I'll just pray Father, Son and Holy Spirit every day. The Father have gone for peace, becouse the sin and noice from all the people on earth.

    The Father was sending Jesus becouse of all the sinning we people did and do against the Father.

    Follow me example in Genesis 6-6.

    Already in Genesis was the Father Done with us, unfortunately. And for us today and after what Jesus have to done on the Cross it is Luckily for us that Jesus was faithful to His Father. If not all being died, for Fathers Holyness. After that you know what happened to all the living people and creatur who was on the earth.

    The Father didn't like what He did.

    So the Father begun to belive that some sort of priest hold can do something. And many families had service. But nobody that He picked out did it correctly. The Father was not satisfied with the people att all.

    Becouse He is the Holy Holy Father.

    You know that The Father walk on earth also?

    To make a wherry long story short. Can you please read about Melchizedek. And ia wherry exiting reading in Hebrews whole book. And after that read the Romans.

    But is is best too read in Old Testament if you want too know about The Holyness Himself. And then you can understand what our Dear Jesus have done for uss all. Good luck and Jesus will bless you too understand the script. He will give you fully understanding I'll pray

    Hello. This is my first time on here and I saw your question. No, God didn't cut off communication with us. Hebrews 1:2 says He speaks to us through His son Jesus whom He appointed heir of all things. The chapter goes on to say Jesus is the express image of God's person, so Jesus is how God chooses to speak and commune with us!

    Hi Karen, again, Thank you for your reply. As I was meditating on your comment, I realized I needed to clarify something... I believe I said did God ' The Father' stop communicating with mankind and God ' the Son is the one who has spoken from that point on, I say that, because , when Jesus said'...why have You ( God ' The Father') forsaken me', it's my understanding, That ABBA Father could not look upon Sin, and our LORD Jesus was full of our sins, to die our death... But when Father raised Him from the dead , and HE ascended back to Father, We , who believe the Gospel, ( died, buried, raised) Praise GOD!!!.. we are indwelled by The Holy Spirit, and are now in The body of Christ, and because of this, we, in Jesus Name, are back in commune, thru Him, with Father...I don't mean to squeeze so much into this small paragraph, but Jesus is the way, the truth the life the light, and no one goes to 'Father 'but thru Him... I know GOD is Triune, but I find that people say God said this and God did that... But if Jesus, God 'the Son' speaks relationship with mankind, isn't that what He means? When we pray in Jesus name, aren't we back in commune with Father, because we're in His Son? Otherwise there's no hope? Please let me know where If I've misunderstood something, Thank you! God Bless

    Hello Faith. Your desire & yearning to learn more of our Heavenly Father & the riches we have In Christ, are commendable indeed. And all those treasures are found in God's Word, as we study & meditate on it, asking His Spirit for illumination & application in our lives. There is probably some discussion on the matters you raised in the comments made by various folk here, but you can click on "Discussion by Book/Chapter or by Topic" which may narrow down your search.

    To your specific question now: it is true, because of Adam & Eve's disobedience & the sin nature taking root in their lives, that they lost that special intimacy that they had with their Creator. And as Isaiah wrote in Isaiah 59:2: "But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his (God's) face from you, that he will not hear." Whenever man entertains sin in his life, he can't expect God to speak & direct him. Israel was the chosen people of God & God poured out His Love upon them. Even though they, like us, inherited the sin nature from our first parents, God still loved them & made them His special possession. Yet, they still abused that Love & sinned & served the gods of the nations around them. But God did not stop speaking & continued to persevere with them, giving them warnings; & this He did by the prophets.

    But those of the gentile nations to whom God had not revealed Himself & were wholly given to all manner of wickedness, God was silent. Though His Word did not come to them, His punishment did, when Israel was tasked to conquer their lands & wipe them out. Even in this, Israel disobeyed God, & so suffered because of them, both physically & spiritually. God has always spoken to His people through the prophets & now, through His Son ( Hebrews 1:1,2). And yet, as the Gospel goes out, people refuse to heed the cry of God for all men everywhere to repent & turn to Him ( 2 Peter 3:9).

    God still speaks - but man still refuses to listen & call upon Him.

    Hi Chris, I've meditated, and only have a teeny tiny thing to add...b4 there were jews and gentiles, there was Adam and Eve... And Cain.

    For sure GOD spoke to them(and Noah..) Where biblically, does it 'dis'prove that GOD The Father', walked with them ... But after they disobeyed Him, God The Son dealt with mankind, and only after Jesus (God-man) died for our sins, ( ' Father why have you forsaken me... Because HE couldn't look on 'sin', even in His perfect son)... are we now, thru Jesus, back in commune with Father.... I think, even fine bible teachers say God said, and God did... and they don't clarify... I think GOD, is purposeful, and says what HE means, and he deals with us intimately, and in His Son, we've been blessed to commune/ pray and speak to Him, by the finished work of the cross. And with Love, I say this Chris... yes , The GOD Loves the Jews, but Not more than All of mankind... Abraham was as steep in idlolotry They were chosen to be taught, then go out and teach the 'rest, gentiles' that All mankind would know the truth... And Un- belief will be the undoing of any human...
