Does anyone have a good explanation why Jesus didn't just come right out and explain who he was and what his purpose on earth was? This is something I've often wondered. Is there any reason why God would let such a significant event remain so unclear. Jesus often spoke in parables and anytime he made a reference to his divinity, he left it open to debate. Now I know many people are going to say that it was very clear and obvious so lets just go ahead and eliminate that argument. There are billions of people in this world who interpret and understand the story of Jesus differently. Even his disciples were unsure of who he was. There are very intelligent people who have read the gospels and do not believe what Christians believe. So to say that Jesus was very clear in his message is a ridiculous argument. If it was made clear there would be no need for this forum. So if God wanted to save the world, why didn't Jesus just come out and say exactly who he was and why he was here and leave no room for doubt. And also, why not choose a better time period to send Jesus to save us, like right now where it would be impossible for anyone to miss it or not to hear about it. Instead of making everyone rely on stories passed down for generations, he could have it all over the news and have video documentation of everything. So the question for debate is not was his message clear(this is a fact), but why not make it clear?
