The Test of Knowing Him
Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning. Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.
He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now. He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going,

Every day I learn a little bit more about Him, and experience a little bit more of His love than I did yesterday
Everyday I grow a little closer, and the want to serve is a little bit stronger.
Sorta like a good marriage. Still don't know my wife as well as I will years from now, and love her more today than I did when I said "I Do".

HIM? and why a God is supposed to be a MAN?
Your God has not done much for the people, actually has brought a lot of prejudice and violence, all in the name of your bible.
Is that the best a God can do?

If some people say they know him but some of them are lying, how am I supposed to tell the difference???? I can't read minds.

You certainly are "out there." I don't believe in god and many others don't either. It is just an invention created many moons ago to keep people from being frightened of things they couldn't understand.

I know of god. I believe he is a man-made myth used to explain things that we couldn't understand, to create social groups, and to enforce rules.
But if he works for you - then good luck

Really. I guess you want to teach a different Gospel.
I suggest you start with 1 Cor 10:23-24.
If future, please reference the verses you quote. Sorry, I don't recognize your transliteration.

If you call 'god" he/him and refer to the bible to explain thee, YOU are the one that has no clue of the divine.
