Is God seen in history?

Religious writing of all kinds mention God under various names and manifestations, but %26quot;God%26quot; does not appear in any historical writing.





Jesus, recognized as the Son of God (and the Second Person of the Trinity) was probably an historic figure, although there is no concrete proof of his existence. Similarly, Sidhartha, who became the Buddha, was probably an historic figure.

I believe if you look at the larger picture of history you can see god in history . An improbable , impossible event happens that sets in motion a chain reaction of unlikely events that influence history for decades or even hundreds of years . There are many examples , you just have to look for them .

I guess it matters what your beliefs are. If you are Jewish you will believe that God has been seen in history within the Hebrew Scriptures (god allowed Moses to see his back) If you are christian then the answer is jesus. maybe not so much in islam(Mohammad received his revelations through an angel but there is folklore where he may have seen god) You can probably go through most of the religions and find an instance where god(s) were thought to be seen. Now the question is are you a religous person who believes that whomever your god is has revealed themselve(s) to the people
Reply:If there were a God, would that God not want people to see proof of God%26#039;s creations outside of only one written source?


It seems preposterous that a group of people could claim that God%26#039;s words were contained in their holy books, and there were no other sources. Sadly, this is one way that %26quot;God%26quot; can be seen in History - groups of God%26#039;s people all claiming to have God%26#039;s words in a written source, yet denying the validity of any other written sources.





If there were a God, would that God want us to learn from only one book? Would that God not be capable of creating others?
