Question

Answer 1

cuz

Answer 2

The Bible says "God is Spirit". His body and person are not like you and me. He is the Creator and we are the Creation. His is infinitely greater than us and beyond our ability to grasp. We can't think of him in human terms, or what our eyes can see.
We should represent a loving God in movies, etc ( but they are of course just a representation so we can understand ) like Morgan Freeman was. That is also why Jesus told us parables so that we can try to understand the things of God which are beyond us.
We, the creation, are wonderfully created in all colors, sizes, etc. - the human race.
But he is holy, infinite, omnipotent ( like the God in Bruce Almighty). - but no representaion or image we can discern can fully represent him.

Answer 3

Sure He can. Morgan was created in the image of God.

Did you ever hear the old hymn "What Color is God's Skin"

A line from it goes: " I said it's black, brown it's yellow it's red and it's white, every-mans the same in the Good Lord's sight". A little old fashioned but it got the point across.

Answer 4

i agree no one not even god can look as good as morgan freeman. i would imagine the male version of god would sound like a mix of barry white and morgan freeman. (oh both black :)

Answer 5

Man being a finite creature can not conceive of an infinite Creator without placing human physical features on this Creator. Those features are generally in keeping with the specific people who are doing the describing/portraying. God is not a he nor a she and is not of any of the races. God is God and has no physical form.

Answer 6

God is not black because he was created by the Semites (Israelites) who were are light brown. Oddly Christ is always white. I was brought up in church and until I was about 10 I thought Jesus was born in England! They teach some odd stuff in church. Now I have learnt more about it I only view the bible as a book of good fables. While some of it is based on historical events I don't see it as any more real than than many fairy tales which also have good lessons and fables.

Answer 7

No any description has been mentioned about GOD. Any believer in God should not make whatever way to describe Him just for fun. You can contemplate though and have a guess of what God is. Anyway folks, believe in God, fear in God, act accordingly abiding in the law of God,and your angel will guide you to heaven and at the end of the world,it is God's big surprise to let you to see Him in reality. By then you will know His complete picture.Thanks.

Answer 8

He s neither white as well. If you are busy deceiving yourself that Hes white, then this is the time to know reality, that the real God- not the man god or faked gods- is not like man. No concept or graphic experts can grasp Him.
If you are virtous and patient, you'd meet Him in heaven. So wait like others who are busy fooling themselves are also waiting. It cannot take much longer- at least not the next 100 years.

Answer 9

God is light blue. Sort of haloish blue.Really beautiful. Some goddesses are white. Marble white. Angels are black. Also some horses. Reindeer are mostly brown. Santa wears red. Cleopatra olive.

Answer 10

In an ancient vedic text, the Brahma Samita it is stated,

I worship the primeval Lord Govinda,
Who is adept at playing on his flute,
With blooming eyes like lotus flowers,
His head bedecked with peacock feathers,
Is the figure of beauty tinged with the hue of BLUE clouds,
And whose unique loveliness is attracting millions of cupids

The meaning of the name Govinda, is he who gives pleasure to the senses, Govinda is one of the many names to describe Krishna, Krishna means "he who is all attractive" and is accepted by vaisnava's in India and globally to be the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the souce of all that exists, many names describe the same supreme being, Allah, Jehovah etc, this description however from this ancient text is the most detailed.

Answer 11

I remember a scene from a movie - can't think what it's called but there is a black guy - of Moorish descent - a little girl walks up to him and says: "did god paint you?" He laughs and nods. She says: "why?" and he says "because god loves wonderous variety" so I suppose if there is a god - he/she is whatever anyone wants him/her to be - hell, that's deep for me at this godforsaken hour of the morning!!!
