The one described in the Old Testament, or some hypothetical 'first cause' god that they create for the sake of argument, who never ordered middle eastern genocide or any of the other nasty things in the OT?
These two seem to have very little in common with each other.

The one true god who created everything? That would be EL, from the first creation myth.
That YHVH/Jehovah guy was just a tribal Jewish God who got a promotion when Israel was wiped out and Judea survived.
You people have a lot of learning to do.

The God that created everything, is the God that Christians worship. The God that is in the Old and New testament, that has always been. That is the God that we worship. The one and only God.

I'd give you an honest answer if I thought you were really serious about what God I or any other Christian worships. And just for the record, God did not ordain the " Middle Eastern Genocide", as you call it, it is a result of man's refusal to obey Him, so they give in to their natural fleshly desrires and kill and rape and all the rest. Man without God in his heart, sincerely, is lost and has no constraints, and Satan takes them over, and mass killing is the result. Sin always results in unpleasant events. We choose to sin, therefore Satan has control of our hearts and minds. Genocide is not God's fault or his wish, it happens because the spirit of the Antichrist is loose in the world in these the last days !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( Well, I guess I gave you an honest answer anyway)

The one true God.
God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
Tell me which are you?
A father, a son, or a brother?
You can only be one now... lol
You can quote possibly be all three...
and that is what God is, Three in One.
God has never changed... the Old Testament was the picture of life without the mercy of Christ.... where men bore their own sins...
Ever since Jesus came and died and rose again to save us... God sees Him instead of our sins.
The old has passed and the new has come.

LOL. Well said, bravo!!
Did you know that there is no "cause" for the decay of a radioactive particle?? That means that things can and DO exist in nature without any cause. Therefore, the idea that the universe needed a first cause can be effectively argued against!!
And, I apologize for them being unable to actually respond to your excellent question...

The ONE mentioned in the old testament AND the new testament. The creator of all things, the alpha and the omega. The one that is described as a Father (and if you know what He is about, He is just like a dad). That's the one.

They worship the one God, but different people have different understandings of God. Think of the story of the blind men describing an elephant each based on his own experience. Nobody has the whole picture.

Jehovah!1 corinthians 8:5,6-there is only One true God!......People worship A lot of things but to whom, who created all things and the One who give us life we should worship.(Revelation 4:11-You are worthy,Jehovah our god to recieve the glory and the honor and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they existed and were created).Exodus 3:15-Jehovah is the God of our forefathers,the God of Abraham,Jacob and Isaac.

and you failed to mention Asherah who was the co-creator with EL and was worshipped alongside him by the ancient hebrews. The priests and scribes started writing her out later on.

Evidently the biblical god took anger management classes.
Either way, the bible is not about God, in my opinion.
