I would like to know what God looks like, or what you think God looks like. Thanks!
God is incorporeal, so God has no physical image that can be seen.I would like to know what God looks like, or what you think God looks like. Thanks!
If God isn't physical then it is impossible for God to look like anything.I wasn't asking if God was physical (divinity of Jesus questions aside). I was asking what God looks like or what you think God looks like.
We are answering the question. In order to "look like" something, God would have to be either physical or energy. After all, we know what light looks like. Since God is not physical, God either 1) doesn't look like anything or 2) God can look like anything He wants to. God has the power to assume the likeness of anything in the physical universe. Thus we have the Burning Bush in Exodus.I wasn't asking if God was physical (divinity of Jesus questions aside). I was asking what God looks like or what you think God looks like.

So, God does not "look like" anything. Sometimes people have found it convenient to portray God as an elderly white man with a beard. However, that is not to say that God really looks like that. Shoot, I have stick models I used to show what molecules "look like", but that doesn't mean the molecules really look like that. It's just a representation for convenience.
Really? What is the alternative? Should we understand God how it is presented on television, as a person? Or is there a particular physical form he should be imagined to be, if not like a human?That's out of left field. I don't know where you're getting that from!!!

This is the latest description we have of Him.
Revelation 1:12-16
Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.
So god is nothing???
This is an inherent problem with your theology here. Stop and think about that for a minute: Your god looks like nothing. How does it even exist then?
I know what you mean with the old man in the sky figure. Oh man, so many christians show God to be an elderly dude in the sky with big muscles and a beard! If that's not man made I don't know what is!!!! LOL
But to say God looks like "nothing" is a big problem. Since when did spiritual mean "looks like nothing"? People have had spiritual visions and they still look like things. If something looks like nothing, then it's nothing.
