If God is infinitely wiser, infinitely superior than humans, he would be infinitely different, infinitely incomprehensible...
How can we claim knowledge of his motives or actions (including the motive to contact us or the action of inspiring a holy book)?

Obviously, one cannot appeal to the Bible for the reasons stated above. You are assuming you know his motives and actions.

One cannot assume he is loving nor that he would desire to communicate with us.

Infinitely wise?

some human beings have self belief god basically does the coolest stuff and devil does the undesirable stuff. This units up a duality. In different phrases you get carry of your god of evil and your god of excellent. fairly if there is not any duality god is each and every little thing. We see issues as undesirable, as a results of fact they are undesirable for us. we don't see the full image. as an occasion, the antelope sees the tiger as undesirable, however the tiger does no longer see his movements as undesirable. he's in basic terms attempting to proceed to exist. In Shaktaism we settle for the Divine mom as all even maya or fable is the Divine mom. we won't be able to see the full image or understand what's somewhat good or undesirable for us.

He is as you say, but we can know about Him. Not completely as the non-believers think, but knowing that we can trust in a perfect God who is infinitely wiser.

If He is infinitely wise, do you suppose He is wise enough to communicate Himself to His creatures?
"At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.
"All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."
Luke 10:21-22

God makes himself available to those who seek Him.
He wrapped himself up in human flesh, made himself of no repute and lived in the womb of a mere mortal woman to be born like you and I, to experience life as we do, with all of its pangs and woes. He did all of that to avail himself to you and to every other man, woman and child who wants to know Him.

If there were a creator God, who wanted to convey His love and character to his people while still allowing free-will and not coercion, would He not find a way to make Himself knowable?

He is the one who revealed himself to us. He is the one who gives us knowledge about himself. He is the one who tells us he loves us.
Its all from the Lord to us. He gives us the authority to say "Yes, God loves us"

He's send you a love letter ... haven't you read it. Do so and you'll "claim knowledge of Him".

He has told us about himself through the Bible.
