“But how do you know it was GOD that answered your question?”
>The same way Peter knew it the dream he had was from God and that it was time for the gospel to go to the Gentiles. The same way the apostles knew that the Spirit of God was in agreement with them on no longer requiring circumcision.<
And how do you KNOW it was the same as Peter and the Apostles
instead of how Reverend Sun Myung Moon knows he is the Christ, or how the polygamist Jeffords knows he is a mormon
prophet of God???

If it was the same as what Reverend Sun Myung Moon claimed, or Jeffords it would have testified of them.
You can keep pushing these kind of questions all you want, either you get to the point where you question the existence of all reality vs. some kind of illusion as in The Matrix (which boils down to concluding there is no truth of any kind that can be known) or you have to at some point say ‘By my own experience I know it to be true.’
I don’t care what you think of it, I’m the one who is going to answer to God for my life. Why do you think the Bible would tell people to seek wisdom and knowledge by prayer if there was no way for prayer to impart wisdom and knowledge? Why would God ask people to do that if they would be unable to tell if they got an answer, or if their answer really came from God. You can choose to either exercise faith an apply the promise and find out for yourself, or you can sit there on the outside asking pointless questions and refusing to find out the way Christ instructed you to.
