Where can I get literature on which God is the true God and how will I know it's the truth?
I believe that Jesus Christ is the true God.
Others may tell you different.
It all depends on what you choose to believe.
Try the Bible
2Ti 2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
We are told to study God's truth not to just read it. The word dividing also means understanding
And we are told also by God, ';Pro 2:1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
Pro 2:2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
Pro 2:3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
Pro 2:4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
Pro 2:5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
Pro 2:6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
If you truly desire to know who God really is and what His truth really is then take your bible with a Strong's Concordance and study the bible without asking anything of men. Ask the true God to give to you His knowledge, wisdom and understanding and I promise you if you really desire it He will give them unto you.
I suggest you read the Bible and Quran . Take both of them and start reading the first page of Bible and then the first page of Quran . Than you will certanly find yourself in one on the books, you will have the feeling , and thann read the One whole if you can gradualy ... Only One of the Books will impress you, you will have a strong feeling deep inside I guarantee, I felt it too when I touched the Quran !
There is no simple answer to that. period.
You can go to the following website and get the books there :

The book list is below.
You can know Lord Krishna is true God from reading.
If you want gold you have to have some basic idea of what gold is - then you can know where to purchase it.

Excerpt from the Srimad Bhagavatam:
SB 4.29.48 P Talks Between Narada and King Pracinabarhi
Generally people are not aware of their interest in life--to return home, back to Godhead. People do not know about their real home in the spiritual world. In the spiritual world there are many Vaikuntha planets, and the topmost planet is Krsnaloka, Goloka Vrndavana. Despite the so-called advancement of civilization, there is no information of the Vaikunthalokas, the spiritual planets. At the present moment so-called advanced civilized men are trying to go to other planets, but they do not know that even if they go to the highest planetary system, Brahmaloka, they have to come back again to this planet. This is confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (8.16):
abrahma-bhuvanal lokah
punar avartino 'rjuna
mam upetya tu kaunteya
punar janma na vidyate
';From the highest planet in the material world down to the lowest, all are places of misery wherein repeated birth and death take place. But one who attains to My abode, O son of Kunti, never takes birth again.';
If one goes to the highest planetary system within this universe he still has to return after the effects of pious activities are finished. Space vehicles may go very high in the sky, but as soon as their fuel is finished, they have to return to this earthly planet. All these activities are performed in illusion. The real attempt should now be to return home, back to Godhead. The process is mentioned in Bhagavad-gita. Yanti mad-yajino 'pi mam: those who engage in the devotional service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead return home, back to Godhead. Human life is very valuable, and one should not waste it in vain exploration of other planets. One should be intelligent enough to return to Godhead. One should be interested in information about the spiritual Vaikuntha planets, and in particular the planet known as Goloka Vrndavana, and should learn the art of going there by the simple method of devotional service, beginning with hearing (sravanam kirtanam visnoh). This is also confirmed in Srimad-Bhagavatam (12.3.51):
kaler dosa-nidhe rajann
asti hy eko mahan gunah
kirtanad eva krsnasya
mukta-sangah param vrajet
One can go to the supreme planet (param vrajet) simply by chanting the Hare Krsna mantra. This is especially meant for the people of this age (kaler dosa-nidhe). It is the special advantage of this age that simply by chanting the Hare Krsna maha-mantra one can become purified of all material contamination and return home, back to Godhead. There is no doubt about this.
We request you to chant HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA, KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE, HARE RAMA HARE RAMA, RAMA RAMA HARE HARE, and your life will be sublime.
It is the Holy Bible. And 1Jn2:27. The anointing you have received is the Spirit of Truth %26amp; will lead you into all truth.
Take a bible. Look up toward heaven. Pray. God, Are you the real God %26amp; the God of this Bible? Pray it out loud %26amp; honestly from your heart.
God sees your heart. Know the Truth %26amp; the truth will set you free. Whome the Son sets free is free indeed.
And there is a different Holy Spirit of the Holy Bible than the spirit of the Koran or the spirit of the Mormon book.
The Holy Spirit is One Spirit %26amp; won't contradict the Gospel of Christ. So, you have to recognize that the God of the Bible %26amp; the God of the Koran %26amp; the God of the Mormon book are not the same God.
The true God is Jesus Christ
Heres a story to ponder
There was an Egyptian king who wanted to see which religion was true, Christianity, Judaism or Islam.
He called a Christan priest, a Jewish Rabbi and a Muslim Imam, to see which one would present the best argument.
The Christan priest was told to go first, he said no the Jews were first so the Rabbi should go first, they argued then agreed for the Imam to go first.
The Imam was asked to present his case, he said, “If the Jews are right then the Muslims and Christians are okay because believe in Moses.
If the Christians are right then the Jews have a problem and the Muslims are okay because we believe in Jesus.
But if the Muslims are right then the Jews and Christian have a problem because they don’t believe in Muhammad.” (peace and blessings of God be upon him).
You can't, and you can't. Half the world's population worships the god of Abraham, so He's the popular choice. Check your Old Testament, New Testament, Koran, Torah, Book of Mormon.
Seoul, I would suggest getting all the information you can, reading it, studying it, then praying with all your might, because everybody you ask it going to say HIS version of God is true, and if he's unfortunately a fundamentalist, he'll also tell you that all other religions are wrong and sinful.
So get all the literature you can and make up your own mind.
it all depends on who you talk to, because there is no such thing as ';one true God'; and no real way to know what ';the truth'; is. if there was, then there would only be one religion and one perception of what God is. everyone thinks that their way is the right way and some people even think that any other religion besides their own is wrong and/or evil (which is completely ignorant, to me). if you are unsure about your religious beliefs or are just looking for something different, my best advice would be to read as much information on every religion there is and go with the one that makes sense to you. don't rely on others to tell you what is true and what to believe. you have to find the truth within yourself.
Brightest Blessings!
ps- i like Uncorny's answer above and the beliefnet quiz is awesome! i was going to link to it too until i saw someone already had! good luck on your journey :)
Have you tried praying on it?
Seriously, even before you decide ';who'; to pray to...just sit down, close your eyes, and ask for guidance.
You can look up books on spirituality at any local library. You can actually read the Bible (King James version is the most popular, it seems. Skip the geneology passages.). The library will also have a Book of Mormon, a Torah, Koran or Quran, and good reference books on World Religions which will include a basic description of all. You can follow up from there. Or start with the beliefnet quiz http://www.beliefnet.com/story/76/story_7665_1.html
Personally, I believe that there is one true God, and many interpretations. I don't think God will mind if your interpretation is a bit off, as long as you are true to your own beliefs while respecting other's right to choose their beliefs. :) Only you will know which one is right for you, and you'll know because it just seems ';right';. Pray on it, and see what you come up with.
Good luck!
A good source to start with is the Bible. Read it with an open mind...
If you do this, I bet you'll find out who the one true God is.... He's the man who was innocent yet nailed to a tree to die for YOU and ME. Faith in Christ is the only way through the pearly gates. Again, you'll know this if you truly read the Bible with an open mind and heart from front to back...
God bless you on your journey... He always meets us right where we are.
