- How do you know all that? How has any person come to possess that knowledge about such a being?
The answer you will get is that God is beyond our comprehension and that all we can ever know about God is what God reveals to us through certain individuals he chooses to use for the purpose. God is the big boss and he gives the information on a need to know basis as God defines it not us.

Still, how do you know that?
How do you know that "God is beyond our comprehension"?
How can you tell if what those individuals tell you about god was actually passed to them by god?
How do you distinguish that from "they made it up"? "acid trip"? dreams?
