So you assert—which of course is uncompelling ipse dixit. Try demonstrating it. (Good luck.)
OK, I'll go slow this time. I have asked you to prove God exists and then to prove that this god is the Christian god.
I would assume from the way you brushed past this request that you can't. If I'm wrong, please do tell. Until I hear otherwise from you, I'll go with the assumption that you can't.
Since you can't prove God exists, you simply assume that which needs proof in your attempts to "argue from God to logic", which is called begging the question.
Now, if you are content to claim it's a matter of faith, fine, but taking this unfounded premise and then try to argue something else ("arguing God to logic") is like building a castle on air.
Establish the foundation on which you are arguing from first and then build an argument on top of that.
