No one actually has any true knowledge of a god or gods. God is imaginary and no book compiled from older more ancient texts can change that. Why people continue to perpetuate something they know "absolutely nothing" about, leaves many of this world shaking their heads.

Are you sure it would be a kindness? OK; I'll give you mine.
I'm nominally a witch, and have used the entire pantheon of gods and goddesses to represent a truth so esoteric and abstract that I cannot talk about it without these images. However, I know these images to be myth and metaphor. Archetypes, as Carl Jung put it.
In a way, you could call me an agnostic, because while I believe there is more to life than the material plane, I acknowledge that I know almost nothing about it. I have studied a great many different symbol systems, and even Aleister Crowley's "777" which correlates different systems to one another, and still I have to say I know very little compared to some people I have known.
I personally believe the most important thing is to live ethically, to support the concept of living ethically in your community, and to learn as much as you can about Defense Against the Dark Arts.

I spent 32 years as a student of EL, with some understanding of Canaanite mythology you will figure where in the cosmology you might understand how "God" is related. I asked for the wisdom of Solomon, the wisdom of God. I saw him, He said I would be released in 32 years (long story) . Since, I have been aware of and/or seen Thor and Odin, Morrigan, Kephra, Sopdet, Ganapati, Ochoosi, Danballah, those that I can name.
Some are ancestors, some are formulations of collective consciousness that have manifested. Some are empowered by nature, some by their followers, some by nature alone. Some have done their own spiritual growth to be transcendent, immanent or to some function.
Spiritual devotion to God, connects you to Him. Your spirit, can connect you to God and Him/Her/.. to you. The Holy Spirit is a Spirit process that connects you to God, and takes over your spiritual process, and how it guides you and keeps you connected with God. Somewhere in the new testament says if you blaspheme/offend the Holy Spirit thats it your done. Jesus/God can forgive you but not the Holy Spirit.
It is like a Hindu Shaktiput, a conference of spiritual power or attunement to an individual.
Your relationship to God(your choice or choices) is up to you.
Like a friendship, the best friends are the ones that you are devoted to and spend the most time to cultivate.
Good luck with your quest to know God. It will be rewarding.

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 says, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.”
In a nutshell, that is the belief of Christianity. Christianity is unique among all other faiths, because Christianity is more about a relationship, rather than religious practice. Instead of adhering to a list of “dos and don’ts,” the goal of a Christian is to cultivate a close walk with God the Father. That relationship is made possible because of the work of Jesus Christ, and the ministry in the life of the Christian by the Holy Spirit.

We are God's most precious creation.
My knowledge of God comes from His Son Jesus Christ.
Because of Jesus we call God our Father.
Sin kept us separated from God, but Jesus died for our sins and we are reconciled with God.
God is Loving, Merciful and pours His Amazing Grace on us everyday.
I think Mercyme says it best.
Love Of God
The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell
It goes beyond the highest star
And reaches to the lowest hell
The guilty pair, bowed down with care
God gave His Son to win
His erring child He reconciled
And pardoned from his sin
Could we with ink the ocean fil
And were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whol
Though stretched from sky to sky
Hallelujah
O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure
The saints' and angels' song

I believe this. There is this person somewhere I choose to call him God only because that it was what I was taught to call him and I can't think of a better name. I don't call somewhere heaven I just call it the other side. So any how. "God" he is like your cool Grandpa you can talk to him like I am talking to you. He doesn't really talk back to you or anything like that but as you are talking you are also thinking and in thinking you come to the answers that you are looking for. And like the cool Grandpa, he doesn't judge me. He may not always like what I am doing and he may not always approve of what I am doing but he never tells me not to do it. He lets me make my own mistakes so that I can learn from them and grow as a person. And when everything is said and done and it is my turn to go to the other side he will welcome me with open arms and ask me how did I like the ride. To me that is what "God" is about.

Jesus said if we love Him to keep His commandments. The most important commandment is to love God. How can we love someone we do not know? How can we know Him except the Holy Spirit reveal Him to us? How can The Holy Spirit reveal Him to us if we cannot tell the difference between the unholy and Holy spirits? Ask to experience unconditional love, once you do, you will not settle for less again.

That is too long an answer. I believe in the Bible and what it says. I do not believe we should make things up that we like ourselves. Or distort the Bible and tell others not to do as it says.
God is the Father, Jesus is the son, and there is the Holy Ghost;......

Sure. Any given god has just as much evidence going for it as any of the thousands of other gods so either this planet is swarming with supernatural beings, a lot of people are wrong/lying (at the very least >66% of humanity for any given god, much more for most), or they don't exist.
