You don't know what know means?
To acknowledge a fact. To be informed.
Quote:Because if I tell you I am lactose intolerant, then you 'know' that I am lactose intolerant. If God tell me He is the alpha and Omega and shows me what that means exactly, then I 'know' He is the alpha and Omega.
No, I don't know that. I believe that. Until I see your allergic reaction after chugging a glass of milk, I don't know that.
Similarly, you don't know that. You believe it.
Actually you do know that even if you don't know the definition of lactose intolerance.
To know is to be made aware through the exchange of information I provided you. (look at defination 1 I left you) What you are describing is verification. That is why I asked you to define 'to know.' Because it is not me who is not aware of the definition.
You 'know' Because I told you. In the case of God verification comes when you show yourself faithful to the little knowledge you have been given.
