Fairy Tale Spotlight: If God Was Proven

Question: If there was verifiable proof that the one great almighty God existed, would all people ultimately follow him?

First off, let me explain my question. Let's say that tomorrow, God fully comes out and stand before us. Jesus is at his side. There are miracles everywhere and there is absolutely no way to not know it's true. This is the scenario I am saying. What if God really opened up and revealed to us that he was real and entirely the one at the top who created you and everything here. In this case, would all people drop whatever other paths they were taking and follow him?

Answer: Not everyone. In fact, the majority of people would probably try and get as far away from Him as possible. This sort of scenario has already been tested in something called The Old Testament.

In the first half of the Bible, everyone pretty much knew that God existed. It was an age of mysticism where everyone knew that fairies were real. Devils, demons, and divine entities were common knowledge. The theocratic laws were made by God himself and even written on stone. We all knew that God wrote those words.

Everyone pretty much knew God was there and had ultimate power, but there were other voices that sounded a whole lot sweeter. People were told that, if they ignored God and followed a different authority, the benefits were so much greater. And like many people do, they went with the authority that sounded less restrictive and, most times, more hedonistic.

This all worked really well. There's hardly a point in knowing there is a one true God if you're just going to go worship devils and demons instead. There was a downside, however. In The Old Testament, there was a chance that, if you ignored God enough, he could actually punish you. Sodom and Gomorrah are a perfect example of this.

God doesn't really intervene like that anymore. We've established a new covenant with Christ which pretty much gives us the freedom to just pick whoever we want. And now that the age of mysticism has ended, the question of the reality of God has come up. Christians strive to prove his existence, and Atheists constantly ask that God make himself known. But as I said, this has already tested out. The firm knowledge of God won't actually change anyone's mind.

Some people just don't want what God and Jesus is offering. And the very idea that they should be punished for not wanting Him angers them all the more. So no... If God were to come out and prove himself, it wouldn't matter. People have always turned against their Creator since the beginning of time. It's nothing new. These people don't need proof of God. They merely need the desire to love Him, and that is entirely up to them. All we can do is tell them the story.
