All men do not "know" God

Many men make claim they know God...but the Bible say's no man can "know" God unless he has the Spirit of God. Natural men (unsaved men) don't have the Spirit of God. Therefore they do not "know" God. The sinner does not know God because he does not have the Spirit of God. A sinful man does not trust Christ's death on the cross for forgiveness of personal sins.

1 Cor 2:11-14... For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them,...even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God
