Would a Prophet / Messenger from a Deity

[1213]

Well, in psychology there are different schools of thought as to what help is the best.

Yes, and if the issue is treated as illness, wound't that make direct contact pointless?

Maybe this is the reason for not using more direct messaging? If person would anyway reject it as some mental problem, there is no good reason for to do so.

Well, we are talking about the concept of deities. Certainly there are some assumptions and expectations that go along with that concept.

If, by direct messaging, you mean to communicate with a person directly into their mind in a manner that cannot be verified in any way, I agree that if a deity existed and wanted to be taken seriously, they would have to do more than pick one human being out of the entire human population and only communicate with that person directly into their mind in an unverifiable way.

That leaves a lot of other, verifiable ways, in which a hypothetical deity could communicate to all human beings. To the best of my knowledge, this has not occurred.

I think God has communicated as told in the Bible. And I think it is a good way.
