Mankind in the form of Adam and Eve could not only veiw God but they could talk to God directly . Then Adam and Eve transgressed and God evicted them from the garden of Eden . From there God's communication with man was in the form of men hearing his voice but not seeing God directly . Abrahams communication with God , and Moses and the burning bush is an example of this hearing and not seeing , and in the Exodus man again lets God down . From there Man never heard God again , God's communication with Man forthwith was through Prophets such as Daniel and Ezekiel . Yet Man true to his corrupt self , listened to the false prophets rather than the prophets annointed by God .
Then God as a final act sent Mankind his only son , Jesus the Messiah , his flesh and blood , and we murdered Jesus to protect out material greed over eternal salvation . Since that day God has not lived with us , God has left man to himself , and Mans own hatred will consume Mankind . That is why God no longer lives amonst us .
