please explain to me how you can "know" the unknowable and how you can "feel" imagination.

if your god doesnt physically show itself to you (through another human being or some other physical manifestation), then how do you know or feel your god?
is it some sort of telepathy? so far, none of the answers have explained it to me.

supertop, if your god feels the same as electricity, why not just call it electricity instead of god?

God is able to reveal Himself to whomever He pleases,
and conceal Himself from whomever He pleases.
He is pleased to reveal Himself to those who believe in the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I could no more explain this to you than I could explain what pizza tastes like to someone who has never tasted pizza before. Come to think of it I might have better luck trying to explain pizza, because food is at least something everyone can believe in.
However, it would be much easier if I could take you to a pizza joint, and let you taste the pizza for yourself, don't you think?
Unfortunately, it is a bit more difficult to take you to the "God joint" and buy you a slice to taste...
The only way you will ever understand how we can "know" or "feel" God would be to open yourself up to the experience. Nobody can do that for you. Nobody can even explain to you how to do it. I wish I could.
All I can do is to assure you that He has promised to reveal Himself to all who truly seek Him. My only advice is to seek Him sincerely, with all of your heart.
God does understand that you might have a problem believing in Him. Jesus once asked a desparate father if he believed that Jesus could heal his son. Now, I know that that man wanted badly to say "yes, Lord, I do"...but I guess it must have been hard for him to look into the Lord's face and lie to HIm. So, he told the simple truth. "Lord," he cried, "I do believe...please help my unbelief!"
Jesus nodded. He healed the man's son...but I thnk that both father and son went away healed that day...

Where do you get that God is unknowable?
I can feel God just like you can feel electricity.

You can't know the unknowable or feel imagination! That's why and how we know and feel God in our hearts!!

How about the fact He gives us peace beyond your wildest dreams. Even in the midst of not having jobs or boyfriends not calling or engine lights staying on. He provides and gives His peace.

You are asking a question based on a personal bias.
To say god is imaginary is your feelings, for me to say that I have had an experience with God is my personal feeling.

God is not imagination. When you can act in union with God, he will come to you and you will know him. The Holy Spirit comes to those who love Christ, and when the Holy Spirit comes to you, it's pretty hard not to know it.

They do not 'know'; at least not in the way that reality-based and empirically-oriented people define 'knowledge'.
For theists, knowledge comes from faith and belief, not from objective observation and rational thought.
