If God exists, why doesn't he use a platform like the Internet to answer some of our long-sought questions?
Wouldn't it be a much more effective way to guide us to salvation and clear our doubts about his existence than leaving us with the old scriptures?

A● Before reading my reply to this answer you would be well advised to know the truth about the Scriptures even as the author of this question has in his question implied his own understanding.
When asked by Nathaniel this question: “Master, could you trust me to know the truth about the Scriptures? I observe that you teach us only a portion of the sacred writings -- the best as I view it -- and I infer that you reject the teachings of the rabbis to the effect that the words of the law are the very words of God, having been with God in heaven even before the times of Abraham and Moses. What is the truth about the Scriptures?" When Jesus heard the question of his bewildered apostle, he answered: [1]
The Truth About The SCRIPTURES
A● God does exist and his work can be found not only on Quora but in many places on the world wide Internet and other advanced forms of communication. But most especially in the lives of those faith sons of God who live among us.
God sent his Creator Son to this world to make a new revelation of God to man and bring God down to this world in the ideal life and model career as demonstrated in the very life he lived and the teachings of Jesus. Jesus was both the Son of Man and the Son of God. He was and is both God and man even as he taught us how we shall also be His sons. Through the Spirit of Truth he is still present exactly as he was two thousand years ago minus the garment of flesh and with all who will receive him simultaneously.
Those who through a strong and living faith have fully embraced his program of salvation for this world are his living agents and representatives serving the citizens of this day and generation. God did not cease to minister words of truth to the world when the prophets of old made an end of their utterances. God the Father is no respecter of races or generations in that the word of truth is vouchsafed one age and withheld from another. Commit not the folly of calling that divine which is wholly human, and fail not to discern the words of truth which come not through the traditional oracles of supposed inspiration.
While he was here he placed the responsibility of establishing the Kingdom of God here on earth squarely on the shoulders of the first 12 men who followed after him and their successors. Since that time those willing to hear the charge and take up the work as his agents and representatives here on earth has been expanding and growing.
Presently there are over 1,700 such men and women in the world who directly represent him and there are over 7,000 other men and women who are being prepared in the deep subconscious and superconscious mind to take up this work of representing him and his Father (God) in this world. Do not be misguided by small numbers as the power of this new army of human teachers of truth is in actuality equal to the square of their number with the power multiplying fulcrum of the combined divine presence of both the Father and the Son and the continuing ministry of the hosts of heaven to this world.
These new religious teachers growing and expanding since the times of Jesus and the bestowal of the spirit of truth are rarely found in the traditional religions of men since these religions of the mind require the sacrifice of our spiritual liberty, religious freedom and personal sovereignty.
Rather do these forward looking men and women utilize both the technique of evolutionary religion and revelatory religion in their determination to transform the religious experience of mankind from a racial faith inherited to a spiritual faith achieved through our own personal religious experiences.
Never will you see these new religious teachers emblazoned on the pages and screens of modern day communication as the one that the world is awaiting. These new teachers of the religion of the spirit understand the collective unity of the new revelation of the Supreme Being, as it becomes manifest through the fruits of the spirit and they also understand the diverse, organic and living nature of true religion as taught and demonstrated by Jesus through the technique of divine acting (finding out God’s will and actually attempting to do it). These new and living human teachers of truth aspire to become living prophets of the Most High and spiritual heroes of the coming kingdom promised to this world by our Creator when he declared “upon this rock of spiritual reality will I build the living temple of spiritual fellowship in the eternal realities of my Father’s kingdom. All the forces of evil and the hosts of sin shall not prevail against this human fraternity of the divine spirit. And while my Father’s spirit shall ever be the divine guide and mentor of all who enter the bonds of this spirit fellowship, to you and your successors I now deliver the keys of the outward kingdom — the authority over things temporal — the social and economic features of this association of men and women as fellows of the kingdom.” These new human teachers of truth have been and continue to be ACTIVE in EVERY generation of man.
These New Human Teachers of Truth will always Teach The Religion of the Spirit
They teach the Religion of the Spirit unlike any other religion on earth until it was demonstrated by Jesus. Wherein God seeking man finds him; and man seeking God finds him; by themselves, in themselves and of their own personal religious experience.
Human unity and mortal brotherhood can be achieved only by and through the superendowment of the religion of the spirit. Racial and cultural minds may differ, but all mankind is indwelt by the same divine and eternal spirit. These new teachers understand that the hope of human brotherhood can only be realized when, and as, the divergent mind religions of authority become impregnated with, and overshadowed by, the unifying and ennobling religion of the spirit — the religion of personal spiritual experience.
The religion of the spirit requires only unity of experience — uniformity of destiny — making full allowance for diversity of belief. The religion of the spirit requires only uniformity of insight, not uniformity of viewpoint and outlook. The religion of the spirit does not demand uniformity of intellectual views, only unity of spirit feeling. The religions of authority crystallize into lifeless creeds; the religion of the spirit grows into the increasing joy and liberty of ennobling deeds of loving service and merciful ministration.
How to Recognize these Human Teachers of Truth
These new Spiritual Leaders and Religious Teachers, human teachers of the living truth as direct agents and representatives of God can be identified by only two outward signs.
1. The fruits of the spirit manifested in their daily lives.
2. The fact that their entire life plan furnishes positive proof that they have unreservedly risked everything they are and have on the adventure of survival after death in the pursuit of the hope of finding the God of eternity, whose presence they have foretasted in time.
The consciousness of the spirit domination of the human life of these world teachers is presently attended by an increasing exhibition of the characteristics of the Spirit in the life reactions of these spirit-led agents and representatives of God on earth. The social life of these religionists unfailingly yields the "fruits of the spirit" in the daily life of these Spirit-led men and women. And these attributes of the divine character are loving service, unselfish devotion, courageous loyalty, sincere fairness, enlightened honesty, undying hope.
The fruits of the spirit, their sincere and loving service, are the mighty social lever that they will use to uplift the races of darkness, and the Spirit of Truth has become their power-multiplying fulcrum.
They fully understand that the kingdom of God is not meat and drink but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. And throughout every trial and in the presence of every hardship, these spirit-born souls are sustained by that hope which transcends all fear because the love of God is shed abroad in all hearts by the presence of the divine Spirit.
And so will their personal revelations of God flash on earth until the whole world is swept up into the brotherhood of love. The call to the adventure of building a new and transformed human society by means of the spiritual rebirth of Jesus’ brotherhood of the kingdom should thrill all who believe in him as men have not been stirred since the days when they walked about on earth as his companions in the flesh.
These new teachers of Jesus’ religion will be exclusively devoted to the spiritual regeneration of men. And then will these spirit-born souls quickly supply the leadership and inspiration requisite for the social, moral, economic, and political reorganization of the world. Modern culture must become spiritually baptized with a new revelation of Jesus’ life and illuminated with a new understanding of his gospel of eternal salvation.
A new and fuller revelation of the religion of Jesus is destined to conquer an empire of materialistic secularism and to overthrow a world sway of mechanistic naturalism.
Earth is now quivering on the very brink of one of its most amazing and enthralling epochs of social readjustment, moral quickening, and spiritual enlightenment.
What is now needed most is Jesus.
The time is ripe to witness the figurative resurrection of the human Jesus from his burial tomb amidst the theological traditions and the religious dogmas of nineteen centuries.
The common people heard Jesus gladly, and they will again respond to the presentation of his sincere human life of consecrated religious motivation if such truths shall again be proclaimed to the world.
How to Know or Become a Human Teacher of Truth
To know and fellowship with this new human sonship family of God you must be capable of the discovery of its origin on this world and recognise its value and truly understand its meaning. Of all human knowledge, that which is of greatest value is to know the religious life of Jesus and how he lived it for therein does time transcend to eternity.
