That is what God will do, continue to use His Method.
You cannot know what God wants, not without reading what the Messenger revealed.
You assume wrong. God wants you to accept the evidence He provides and He is not willing to barter on that. That does not mean that God does not want your belief, although it does mean God does not need your belief.
God did create you with a logical rational thinking brain and God expects you and everyone else to use it. Baha’u’llah said that right in this passage:
“He Who is the Day Spring of Truth is, no doubt, fully capable of rescuing from such remoteness wayward souls and of causing them to draw nigh unto His court and attain His Presence.“If God had pleased He had surely made all men one people.” His purpose, however, is to enable the pure in spirit and the detached in heart to ascend, by virtue of their own innate powers, unto the shores of the Most Great Ocean, that thereby they who seek the Beauty of the All-Glorious may be distinguished and separated from the wayward and perverse. Thus hath it been ordained by the all-glorious and resplendent Pen…”
Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, pp. 70-71
In that passage,
“If God had pleased He had surely made all men one people”means that God could have revealed Himself in some way such that everyone would know He exists.In that passage,
“ascend, by virtue of their own innate powers, unto the shores of the Most Great Ocean” means using your reason (innate powers) to determine if God exists. God wants everyone to search for Him and determine that He exists by using their own reason.
There is absolutely
nothing reasonable about God speaking directly into the ears of each and every one of the 7.4 billion people in the world and saying “I exist.” That is the most UN-reasonable thing I have ever heard in my entire life, but this is what more than one atheist has told me they expect, in order to believe in God.
So, is this external verification God speaking to you directly so you can be sure it is God? I cannot think of anything else it could be.
I guess you missed my point. The ‘facts’ I used to ‘verify’ that Baha’u’llah was who He claimed to be and actually received a revelation from God is what I did BEFORE I believed in Baha’u’llah.
The ‘facts’ the terrorists gleaned from THEIR religious texts was an INTERPRETATION of their religious texts AFTER they had come to believe in Muhammad. They misconstrued their texts and that is why they thought it was okay to commit terrorist acts. Muhammad never condoned their behavior.
By verifiable do you mean God showing up to verify Himself or speaking to you directly? If you read the Writings of Baha’u’llah you would know why that is absolutely impossible.
The world would quickly turn into mayhem is everyone waited for verifiable evidence (which is in effect proof ) that God exists. You would quickly find out what a world is like where nobody believes in God. Fear of God is the chief instrument for order in the world.
“The first word which the Abhá Pen hath revealed and inscribed on the first leaf of Paradise is this: “Verily I say: The fear of God hath ever been a sure defence and a safe stronghold for all the peoples of the world. It is the chief cause of the protection of mankind, and the supreme instrument for its preservation. Indeed, there existeth in man a faculty which deterreth him from, and guardeth him against, whatever is unworthy and unseemly, and which is known as his sense of shame. This, however, is confined to but a few; all have not possessed, and do not possess, it. It is incumbent upon the kings and the spiritual leaders of the world to lay fast hold on religion, inasmuch as through it the fear of God is instilled in all else but Him.” Epistle to the Son of the Wolf
