Hello Planet6412, God, who is omniscient, always knows the best/most effective way to communicate with us in each and every situation, and that's what He chooses to do (even when it seems to be the very antithesis of what we would choose to do if we were in His place). His thoughts are higher than our thoughts are, as are His ways, and thankfully so, because we've made a real mess of things from the very beginning .. e.g. Ecclesiastes 7:29; Romans 5:12.
There are many other ways that the Lord God chooses to communicate with us, as well, one of which is by demonstration. For instance,
So, God often does things in ways that we would never consider doing them, and we should all be VERY thankful that He does
May God bless you as you seek to find Him, understand and know Him!!

Romans 5
8 God ~demonstrates~ His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
He chose to love us in this way (in part) as a demonstration of His GREAT love for us, of our GREAT value to Him, and of the lengths that He would go to to save us, even while we were, in fact, His "enemies" .. see Romans 5:8-10.So, God often does things in ways that we would never consider doing them, and we should all be VERY thankful that He does

John 3
16 God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

Hello again @Planet6412, I agree with Cameron, when you say things like the fact that you find God to be abrasive, or that you are not satisfied with some of the ways that He chooses to communicate with us, it may be helpful to give us some specific examples of what you mean (because it's often easier for us to give you the answers that you are seeking when we know specifics).
Thanks!

Another interesting thought. Why do you believe that God would either want or need to establish a "front" What advantage would there be for Him (and/or for us) if He chose to do so
Thanks again!
