Who is God?

My apologies to Marga of Angeles City for taking off from her Blog, "What if there is no God?" I was impressed with her thoughts and well, it stirred me to comment and well, er, add more questions to her question. Below is my response to her post:

Hi! You’ve raised a mind shattering idea there and indeed, we sometimes have to question things for us to eventually believe. I ask you, what God do you believe in/refer to? I mean no offense, it is just a question which also haunted me the past years in my own quest for answers to firm up my faith. I was raised as a Christian but growing up, I realized I really do not know much or really understood the practice of faith and the beliefs/teachings that goes with my religion. I do know there is a God. I then asked, who is God?
As humans we desire to have order in our lives, we ardently need knowledge to understand everything that relate to our existence, to find answers to all questions that crop to our heads. What goes beyond our human comprehension, we dismiss as unimportant or even untrue. We try to make things as real, as tangible, as explicable for us to believe and be comforted.
Back to my question, what God do you believe in? Is it the one God who is the reason for everything there is, or the God who is identified with the trinity, or the saints, or the sto ninos and the poons? I mean, who do you pray to? I ask this because while we all agree that there is A GOD, we do refer to different Gods. This may be blasphemous to many but I do think Jesus is not God and that the images of Mary, the saints and the baby Jesus are just images or pieces of stone/ceramics and praying to them is idolatry. Like what I said, we humans try to make sense of everything in our lives by generating rationalizations. In order to understand God, we have humanized God to enable us to relate, believe. We are given a face, a history, his geneology, his works and a story of his divinity. As humans, we are more comfortable to believe in something we can identify with our senses and reasoning rather than holding on to something we don’t know except for the knowledge that IT exists. Maybe I just didn’t get the logic of the trinity because Im rather confused with how God is Jesus and the spirit and then add to this equation Mary being the mother of God, and Jesus being the son of God is also the wife of mary. I just know that God is powerful beyond human imagination that He can make things happen. He can destroy us if He wills it.
Sister, have you ever asked if Jesus really intended himself to be God when he said, "Believe in the Father?" Jesus died, but God is always with us. Have you ever asked if you really believed in Jesus and his teachings? Ever asked if being a Christian means believing in the teachings of Jesus or believing in Jesus as God? Ever wondered if by believing in Jesus’ divinity, you actually veer away from God?
I ask you not to insult or offend you. There is no compulsion in religion afterall. It is your quest and I pray that God will grant you guidance for He alone is the reason for everything.

I forgot to ask her if she ever questioned the scriptures and the teachings in Christianity, ala Dan Brown. I liked Da Vinci Code but to the issue of religion, I believe with what he raised that there has been distortions to the scriptures, manipulated if I must say, to prove the divinity of Jesus Christ. Why? For political purposes. Texts have been written and rewritten a number of times to fit the need of the period, and at that time, Paul intended to convert the pagans. Oh well, this portion will be in my nxt blog. Just note, that paul who was the primemover of christianity and the divinity of Jesus was not one of the apostles and born scores of years after Jesus’ death. Wonder if how can he have a real idea of the life of Jesus when most of the writings o the apostles were lost or destroyed? These distortions are not limited to Christianity. Its true for many religions and its sad to realize that people are made to believe in something that was not really sacred thus made to unwittingly become unfaithful, disbelieve in God actually.
