For something called God 2 it must fullfill these criteria (according to you):
  1. Be omniscient (including knowledge of God)
  2. Be sealed from God (means having no knowledge of God)
According to the laws of logic, A=A. If something fulfils criteria one, it cannot at the same time fulfil criteria 2. Thus, God 2 cannot logically exist. 

If you disregard the laws of logic to create your hypothetical God 2 then your argument isn't based on logic. Your argument against omniscience is not logical, it's illogical.

The entire point to this thread is that omniscience is incoherent. I did not say God 2 was all knowing, I said he’s all knowing with regards to anything inside of this bubble.

Well, then he is not truly a copy of God.


 he’s all knowing with regards to anything inside of this bubble.
This bubble includes God 2. Does God 2 know whether he is created or eternal? If not, then he isn't all knowing with regards to anything in his bubble.

God 2 can't solve solipsism, similarly to a human. However, the concept of GOD as all-knowing still solves solipsism. Whether or not our "god" is God or God 2 is irrelevant as long as there is a GOD. The "real" God is all-knowing with regards to everything, and thus knows all possible bubbles, and that he is the actual God. Solipsism solved.

Additionally, the very idea of a God 2 that isn't fully omniscient is absurd. The very definition of GOD includes omniscience. If God 2 doesn't have that, he is only A god, not God2.

Omniscience isn't incoherent. Your argument is.

God 2 believes he is the beginning and the end, he is everything.

You are correct that he isn’t all knowing... from an outsider perspective. The point to this thread is his perspective. 

The "real" God is all-knowing with regards to everything, and thus knows all possible bubbles, and that he is the actual God. Solipsism solved.
Defining God as all knowing doesn’t solve solipsism any more than defining God as being powerful enough to create a 5 sided triangle makes 5 sided triangles possible. 

The question at the start of this thread is not whether God knows he is not God 2, it's how could he possibly know this? If you can't answer the how then you cannot claim there is a solution to solipsism. And if you cannot claim there is a solution to solipsism them you cannot claim omniscience is a coherent concept.
