Same is true in our case today that we do not see the Lord physically, but the Lord uses a way for Him to communicate with us via two-way communication like that with Moses and/or Paul. It is not thru the bible but through actual communication with God.

Why is it that people who claim to believe the biblical narrative have a problem with this? How many examples are there in the Bible of God speaking directly to humans? From Adam, to Noah, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, various kings and prophets, Jesus and the apostles. Yet, the majority of Christians seem to behave as if, this once somewhat talkative God, all of a sudden silenced himself and would now only speak through his written word, in an age where literacy was not as pervasive as it is now.
To me that would seem quite strange. Christians who support such a counter-intutive behaviour in their God should be compelled to provide evidence to support such a theory. If there is a God and if that God spoke directly to the ancients, then, I would think that He would speak directly to people now, unless there were some very compelling evidence to the contrary.
