I think when looking for God it is poor logic to say well find out who you are first. Unless you are saying that you are God or a god it is nothing. God is not some personal preference or He is not God. I were to ask someone who is George Bush? Would not say "Well you have to find out who you are first." unless of course I was George Bush.
The correct way would be either to give a personal opinion, point to a source (like say a newspaper), or tell me "ask him yourself."
And if he was so accessible that would be logical.
So I'll give you all three.
1) My opinion and belief is that God is the God of the Bible. and That He can be found in the Bible.
2) The source option, read about Him in the Bible.
3) ask Him yourself
"They who seek me will find me if they seek me with all of their hearts."

Chela,"God dwells within you as you", You are a hueman being,spirit,unconditional love,your purpose is "being". You are God expressing a part of his vision of himself. You were shown this from the beginning of creation. See rom. 1-19/20. The spirit of God within your heart is what prompts you to Seek the truth. most call this prompting "Faith" I pray this helps you LOVE. PS it is by the light of divine love that we "see".

The Bible itself, tells that what kinds of changes were brought therein to mislead the people of Gospels. Torah (the Law of Moses) says that God talked to the nation of Moses on the mount Sinai where God gave the Commandments in
Godly voice.
When people heard the voice, they did tremble in fear and awe. And, later on, they requested the Lord, not to talk to them, so directly again. Because to bear with the Godly voice, was beyond their tolerance. The Lord, of course, acceded to their request.
God’s Foremost Commandment was about God’s Absolute Aloneness.
God said:-
“Worship no god but Me”.
(Exodus, 20:3)
“I, and I alone, am God; no other god is real.
I kill and I give life, I wound and I heal,
And no one can oppose what I do”.
(Duet. 32:39)
That was the foremost Commandment, given by the Lord in Godly voice to the nation of Moses. Wherein God mentioned further:-
“Worship Me alone and whosoever
will worship the god, other than Me,
will be My rival. And, I tolerate no
rivals. I will curse the people who do so”.
God also mentioned to the people___ not to make & worship the images of God. God told them that nothing is alike God in the heaven or on the earth, or under the earth, or in the water.
It simply meant that God is not like anything at all and a thing or a creature can never be considered as God.
The Bible also tells us that God is Omnipotent. The Book of Genesis, in its 1st chapter, says:
“God commanded, Let there be light
And the light appeared”.
(Genesis 1:3)
It simply means that God can create whatsoever God wills. So, according to the Bible, it is very clear that God, our Lord, is All Alone and whatsoever is created____ is created by God, independently.
Here in our world, a man like us, compels us that we should believe in God and the angels. And___ he tells us that he has met a multidimensional creature, the angel Gabriel. Who has given him a message from God___ God is the Creator of all dimensions but God is free from the dimensions and nothing is alike God and as such God is beyond our intellect and conscious.
We respond in terms of the demand that we want to see God and the angels. He replies that it is not possible through our three-dimensional intellect. Especially we can not see God with our eyes as God is not a thing___ nor a material or immaterial object, instead, God is the Absolute Holy.
We discuss the matter at length, in three-dimensional terms but no specific result comes out. We leave the situation as it is, saying thereby, that we are not ready to believe that,which is beyond our intellect. If to see the angel is not possible for us, then, how the Messenger, himself, has seen him?
He tries to make us understand that he has really met angel Gabriel in a known state and he has really received the Message from him and God is really existing. But we remain captives of our limited intellect and do not accept the truth. Since the state in which Prophet receives message from God, remains our “unknown”, therefore, we stretch out our tongues against the Messenger. And, the process of hearing and accepting the truth, seems to us just like an irrational process due to our three-dimensional approach.
In human society, the matter of belief in God and truthfulness of Verses, has always been like that. In fact, we believe in three-dimensional realities alone. In our eyes, three-dimensional world is the only real world. A famous French painter Gustave Courbet was asked to paint the angels in Church. Courbet replied:
“Angels? How can I paint what I have not seen”. 3
On account of this very statement, Courbet is called as a realistic painter in the world of Art. And___ that is this very instance, which reveals the fact that reality of the people with three-dimensional vision, is always a limited thing.
Church has, in turn, presented the angels and God, as three dimensional creatures. Painted figures of many angels including God, have been brought before the eyes of masses by the Church. So that, three-dimensional people may apprehend and believe in them, in three-dimensional terms. Whereas the 1st Commandment in Bible, is clearly declaring the worship of images, as an act of hatred and enmity against God.
How like is God? This very question has already been responded by the God, in the following words:
“I____ and I alone____ am God
no other god is real”.
(Duet 32:39)
“Worship no god but Me!
Do not make for yourselves images
of anything. In heaven or on earth or
in the water under the earth.
Do not bow down to any idol or worship it”.
(Duet 5:7 to 9)
Hence, the notion that Jesus is just like God and he was with God since ever and he is the son of God____ is all-in-all wrong. Such a notion tantamounts to a malafide boldness, which has been purposely planned to refute God and God’s Commandments.
it is clearly written in Bible & Quran the both that:
“Nothing is alike God”.
It means that to form an image or imagination of God by means of three-dimensional intellect or consciousness____ is not possible at all. Rather, it is not possible even by means of multidimensional intellect or consciousness___ as God is dimensions free. So, whosoever makes some image or imagination of God____ indeed he makes an idol and commits a tremendous sin and becomes an enemy of God.
