The answer will probably vary depending on whom you ask - his or her religious beliefs. Here is one answer. My belief (as a Bahá'í) is that God won't reveal Himself directly; rather, He regularly sent inspired people to Earth, to reveal His purpose for the corresponding era.

What unconditional promise did God make to mankind that is central to all of the Scriptures?

I believe the ONLY UNCONDITIONAL promise The Lord God Almighty made with ALL of mankind (reguardless of their belief) is found in... Gen 9:11-13 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. God promised the earth, all its creatures and ALL mankind that He would never destroy the earth by flood again. The rainbow is a sumbol to ALL mankind


What are the three objects of faith?

In the Roman Catholic Church (possibly other religions, also) they are God himself; other truths that can be known only through Revelation, such as the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist; and all the natural truths specially revealed by God in order to confirm and strengthen our knowledge of them, such as the existence of our souls.

How did god reveal himself in the Old Testament?

The question is somewhat vague; and could be answered from various angles of approach. God revealed himself to mankind in many ways and through various means.In the Garden of Eden God revealed himself to his first human creation by:1) communication with him. Initially it was very likely by introducing Himself to Adam, as his Maker. Then God informed Adam of his purpose for him (and thus by extension, God's purpose for mankind.)(Genesis Chapter 1) God informed him about 'not eating from a certain tree', out of respect for God's right to make decisions of right & wrong. (Genesis chapter 2) When Adam disobeyed, God revealed himself again 'at the breezy part of the day', as a Judge; (Genesis chapter 3); and then as a Prophet. (Gen 3:15)2) Thru ought the Bible God revealed himself by various means of communication: ie visions, dreams, through angel messengers; and then of course through his Son. God also revealed himself by 'destructions' (ie the Flood of Noah's day, etc)3) God also revealed himself by revealing to mankind his personal name. Often it says: "I am Jehovah, that is my name." God revealed his personal name approx 7,000 times in the 'old testament' alone. That's more times than all the 'titles' - combined. This allows mankind to have a very personal relationship with Him.4) God also revealed himself, by revealing to mankind his righteous requirements. Mankind would really learn much about God's character and personality. There are many laws given through Moses. Other commands were delivered through his Prophets. Then Christ Jesus and his disciples delivered more commands which would reveal more things about God.Many more things can be added.

Why did the bab sacrifice himself?

The Báb was executed by a firing squad consisting of 750 guns. Did he sacrifice himself? Perhaps. He could have kept his mouth - and pen - shut, for a start. He must have known that bringing a new message to mankind (revealed from God, according to Bahá'í belief) would get him into trouble. But revealing, to mankind, the will of God, must have been more important to him than living to an old age.

If you are asking about the Christian God, God who has revealed Himself in the Bible then the answer is yes. The Bible says "........God is love...." -- 1John 4:16. God loves all His creation (even witches and wizards). But God does not love the way people have turned from Him and His ways, and one day God will judge all of mankind for this.

If the bible is God's word why is it written about so many other people?

The Bible is God's word, means that people were inspired by God to write the different books that make up the Bible. Scripture is thought of as the living voice of God speaking in all its parts directly to the reader. In places the scriptures are called the oracles or utterances of God. The Bible is made up of many different kinds of writing: historical narrative, poetry, letters, for example. Through these different types of writing God has revealed Himself to us. From the different stories about other people we can see who God is, what is His relationship to mankind, what is mankind's relationship to God, how God has dealt with mankind over the ages, how God views sin. These are a few things we can learn from the stories of the Bible.
