I would beg to differ. You could know down to the last detail what a person liked to eat, where they live, their favorite color, the kind of car they drive, the names of their children and pets, and in the end it could amount to nothing more than memorizing facts about them.
I have a lot of friends about whom I could not answer most of those questions about them, but they are close dear friends, because it's about THEM, not knowing details about them. Yes, you do often learn those things about them, but that comes from knowing them. I don't relate to them on a personal level by studying them but by talking to them.
Exactly...Any one can know about God...But to know God is entirely different...
