at first i`m muslim ,and i believe in God but let us see what christians believe
both judaism ,christianity and islam believe that God is like nothing else and nobody has seen him ,so God is unknown
God is unknown
christianity claims that christ is God
so christ is unknown
is that logical?

If it's not logical, it's blind faith!

No, Christ is that which is of God and is known. Christ is that which God has shown of himself.
The shell that is a person cannot contain that which is God any more than a photograph can contain a person. A talented person can make a photograph "move", creating a movie and so God can create a person that is so filled with God so that the person and God are one.
Adam was a person created by God, but, was not filled with God to be one with God. Adam was just a man created, not begotten.
Christ was begotten, born as a person, filled with God from the moment of of the virgin conception.
Born of man, a man that was also God that people could know God face to face and see.
Before Christ God could be known as Moses knew God. After Christ God could be known face to face, just as people know each other and see each other.

Imagine God being expressed in a human life. That is what christians believe of Jesus. He pre-existed his time on Earth. God is Love, He could have remained a simple oneness and not even bothered creating anything. But to exist He is love and so "eternally begets" the Son. And He created this universe.
Examine His life and see if you think He is just a mortal. You won't find a human with a life as good as His. The core christian belief is that He died to make atonement for us, but we must believe in Him to receive this forgiveness; otherwise our sin remains. This was experientially so before I believed. There is much more of course.

Ya, He's such a complicated person, no one can even begin to understand Him fully. Only God can know everything and understand such a complicated set of personality traits and thought processes. Everyone knows His name as Jesus Christ but they didn't actually know Him because He was one of a kind, there wasn't a club or bar where gods will go on a weekly basis just to chill and relax. So it would be impossible for anyone to truly 'know' Him if there was no one else like Him.

I could not possably have less respct for any thing to do with islam and posts such as yours are a big part of the reason... You display total ignorance of The True Christian Faith... which is understandable as you know nothing of God The Creator since you are of islam.
God is known personaly by all of The True Christian Faith... God is not an unkown.

God is not completely unknown. Christ is the human embodiment of God. Through Jesus we get a greater understanding of the nature of God, but one must understand that God cannot be fully known while in this life but He will reveal himself to us more and more, if we seek him out.

The fullness of God in heaven is unknowable meaning that God is so infinitely awesome that our finite minds cannot comprehend His nature fully. However, Christ was fully man and fully God. Christ spanned the gap between human limitation and God's infinite being. Christ is who allows us to understand God because we know that God understands our needs and desires on a human level.
Of course, God ascended to heaven in the form of Christ almost 2000 years ago. One cannot see God in His Christ form today, but one can know Christ through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the form of God that empowers believers in Christ to know Him and have a relationship with the fulness of God through Him.
God bless you, follower of Allah, and may you continue to seek the Redeemer.

Your argument is invalid. No one ever said God is unknown.
And another thing, your god never sent his only begotten son to earth to die for all the sins of mankind. Our God did. So we're not even worshipping the same God, which means you're not even talking about the same God throughout your argument.

You are correct in that your logic is really messed up.
Christians do not believe that no one has seen God.
Christians believe that Jesus is God who became flesh.
Jews don't believe that either since they know that Abraham saw God and Moses saw God.
Logic leads to wrong conclusions when the premises are not correct. Your premises were not correct.

Judaism doesn't believe that no one has seen God. It is written in the Torah that Moses saw God, face to face.

Your reasoning is illogical.
I DO know Christ. I know god.
That's perfectly logical to me.
Just because I have not seen Him personally does not mean I do not know Him.
I see Him in other people. I see Him in the faces of the little children that I teach. I see Him through some of my dear friends and family.
I see Him when I read His word and pray to Him.
