I think you can't know, because it's unknowable. Even if a mortal were to be contacted by an infinite being, it would be impossible for the mortal to know that the being is infinite, because infinity is not graspable to us. We can't tell an infinite being from a vast being or even a being relatively advanced over us. It wouldn't take an infinite being to convince someone that it's God, just a convincing one, with some tricks up its sleeve.
You are certain that God exists. Knowledge is demonstrable. Knowledge isn't 'things I'm certain are true'.
Why because you have failed to come to a knowledge of God, when did it become a requirement to gain knowledge about something because you have. Knowledge can be things I'm certain are true as long as they are true and to this very minute no one has proven I can't know God.

It comes up with its own "form" of reality. Arguing against it is like trying to capture every rain drop in a storm, an effort in futility.
I see you have a theme you lean on, to bad, if you could understand what I know you would change that lil' theme.

I do not market my belief and knowledge of God, I witness to those who have questions, I do not force what I know on others, we were not called to do such a thing, we were called to live our belief. You seem to hold the belief because you failed to find God He's not real and that is an idea many have about God and many other things. Sorry but your failure is not evidence that I can't possibly know, I do 100%.

That's wonderful. So you should be able to easily provide evidence by walking outside of your house and telling the nearest tree to uproot itself. It should do as you command it to do without any extra mechanical help of any kind. And you should be able to lay your hands on the sick and injured and cure them with just your touch. If you can't do that then your belief is worthless because Jesus said that you could. Therefore he lied or else you lack faith. It's really that simple.
Guess what there are several trees on the ground I was tired of, funny you should mention this. As for what you are saying, you have referred to gifts and God did not give me those gifts mine are others that are helpful to others.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
