Bookmark: 1st Kings 18:27

“...at the climax of their impotent belief, Elijah taunts them to the point of mocking their god, “…saying, ‘Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is musing, or he is relieving himself,’” (1 Kings 18:27). In modern terms, Elijah was quipping, “maybe your god can’t hear you because he’s in the bathroom”.

Interesting take on mocking the religious belief that a true God actually listens and responds to people in an audible voice.

Old Testament has a number of examples that God did use an audible voice and was more personal. New testament has God walking among us in Jesus.
