Not on purpose perhaps, but clearly you are sowing seeds of doubt

I am simply asking questions. Why is that "sowing seeds of doubt?"

What is your goal in posting here?

I want to know what is God,  so I ask those who claim they know God. The presumption is that one knows what it is that he or she believes in, what is God.

Is it merely to state your opinion or is it to encourage others to think like you; to doubt everything and believe nothing?

No, I just want to know what it is that people believe in.

God is Spirit, and those worship Him must worship in Spirit and in Truth.

Without faith it is impossible to please Him.

It appears to me that you’ve known that as of a very long time ago . . .

. . . Certainly many pages and threads ago.

Please Try again.

That assertion was quite thoroughly unconvincing.

I want to know what is God

Well, for starters God is not a "what". Nature is a "what". God is a "who".

No, I just want to know what it is that people believe in.

There is no actual evidence for the existence of anything. For all we know everything is merely a figment of your imagination so if you are looking for evidence of God, and you are not willing to look for the supernatural outside of the realm of the natural, then nothing anyone can say to you or show you is going to convince you of the existence of God or what it is that he requires of us.

So I will ask you a question. What evidence, if any, would you accept to prove to you that God exists? What evidence would you accept to show that Jesus Christ was God incarnate?

In reviewing your posts, you seem to cast doubt on the eyewitness testimony of Christ's miracles and his resurrection. But there is more evidence for these events than there is for just about any other events in history. Not only do you have the eyewitness accounts, but you have the testimony of the people who knew the gospel writers intimately and who testified to the veracity of the gospel accounts.

Now if you are not willing to believe the eyewitness accounts because somehow they might be biased, then how can you believe anything? Your own experience is nothing more than your own eyewitness account of the things you have seen and done and read. Do you cast doubt upon your own experience? Are you an eyewitness to your own birth? You were there, but then again you still have to take the word of others that you were born where you were and when you were. Do you doubt the birth certificate that you have? Do you doubt your mother's testimony of when you were born?

If not, then why are you so skeptical of the eyewitness accounts of the life of Jesus? Did not the authors of those gospel accounts give their lives in defense of their testimony? Doesn't that give them as much credibility as the doctors who signed off on your birth certificate?

Your posts do not read as questions or even as if seeking affirmation of your views.

Your posts read as angry indictments against God.
