When was God proven to exist? And how, I have to wonder, given that by the usual claims of God, it is neither provable, nor unprovable.

The uncreated has to be spirit non-physical and timeless without appendages.

By accessible I mean a person can pick up his writings and get to know him not in some feeling only sort of way.

I am not aware of the book of FSM so inaccessible.

So... limited, much? Appendages don't have to be physical. Many say that God's Hand has been upon them. Is that not an appendage, even?

There are many, many, many people who have had no contact with the Bible. Haven't even heard of it, even. Does this surprise you? Does this mean that your version of God is automatically false? That you simply haven't seen the holy book of the FSM in no way invalidates it's ability to be truth.

Your logic, again, is faulty. But hey, you weren't even trying, now were you?

You've been here one day and already I'm bored. Okay, I'll play two rounds and go to bed. I'll ask, why can't something come from nothing- didn't your God? You'll respond, He's existed forever. I'll ask, if so, why couldn't the Universe have existed forever? Etc.
 
A person who doesn't have access to God personally still has common grace so if he were to see the Son of God would accept Him and thus, is saved.

Not proof. Faulty string of logic and assumptions that's been tried, repeatedly, and yet still fails. In particular, all assumptions are of questionable necessity to the argument, and the third just makes the conclusion circular and logically infeasible, for the version of God that you seek to support. Sadly, you don't just get to stop with "God" under those assumptions, regardless of how one tries to twist, if you assume that "God" has a mind.

And then comes another huge problem... saying that this "God" exists means absolutely nothing, unless you add on assumptions. Such as a mind of the type that would be required to do any of the things attributed to the Christian versions of God. Assumptions that have, it seems, been founded on nothing.

In short, the "God" that your argument suggests does not, in any way, coincide with the God that you seek to prove.

Edit: Also of enough relevance to repost:

Thank you for pointing out another of the contradictions inherent. In other words, then, the concept suggested as the answer to the logic completely violates two out of the three assumptions. That's far, far more than enough to say that that attempt fails. Utterly.

Fact: nature can't always have existed because you would have happened already.
Fact: something can't come from nothing for it doesn't exist.
Fact: a mind is needed to create a mind because non-life can't produce life.
Thus, uncreated Creator exists.

How do you distinguish a true prophet and a false one?

Why, from the Bible, of course. The Bible is the word of God. It must be true.

Matthew 24:23-25:

23 At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it.

24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible.

25 See, I have told you ahead of time.
