So if I'm following you, then the one-on-one, personal relationship, the direct interaction that is so important, is found mainly during the time of the Eucharist? If that is right (or close) then it would seem limiting to me because the real communication only happens at a specific place during specific times. I don't see how a CLOSE personal relationship can form under those circumstances. I don't say it's impossible, just something I can't identify with. For us, our "one-on-one" time is anywhere, anytime, 24/7/365. I consider those to be the conditions for the ultimate personal relationship.

The OT God did not make himself directly accessible to every Jew, but only through priesthood and sacrifice/offering. Did God change?

Even the NT requires two-or-three for Christ (the Intercessor) to be in their midst.

God has always been directly accessible through direct prayer, so God has changed nothing concerning that. But as to God communicating through the OT prophets, God doesn't have to change Himself for Him to change direction. It's like Christ fulfilling the Law. It doesn't mean God changed.
