Answer 1

I look at all those pictures! Great!
What does GOD look like, or most like? If I had to choose amount the photos you gave us, I would choose George Burns!
In my limited understanding GOD is neither man or woman, GOD is a spirit. In the bibles that I have read they give some weird description of feet of clay, bright blinding eyes, and all that. If there is a GOD, which I am inclined to believe there is, this GOD could look “like” anything chosen. I'm not sure that GOD isn't a perfect idea, a perfect thought. But then remember the rainbow, even GOD makes mistakes.
I wonder if in the future we all won't be looked at as So without a clue!

Answer 2

#3, I agree that we cannot really know what God looks like so much, but since the question was 'looks the MOST like God' I'm gonna go with 3 because The Bible says that man was made in the image of God, and I'm guessing that Adam, the first man, had enough genetics in him to come up with all the different races of the world, therefore Adam probably looked the most like 3, which to me doesn't look as white as #1 or as black as #2, and Since Adam was made in God's image (although the image of God isn't necessarily physical), 3 looks better than the others. Cheers.

Answer 3

What does God look like? Great question!

On one hand, God told us we're made in His image. So working backwards, we know that in some sense God must look like us. But on the other hand, God is perfect, and it's impossible to draw perfection.

Exodus 33:20 says, “But," he said, "you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.” Whoa! Bad to make a picture of that - death and destruction via the internet!

We also know God is a spirit - what does a spirit look like? I believe that can be anything and nothing. Hard to draw that.

So my vote is "none of the above."

Answer 4

Think about this...
How can God be knowable? He is an unknowabe essence. If we were to associate His "looks" with a picture/image that has merely been created by a human, then we are lost in our imaginations. Seeing is not believing. They are two different things entirely.

Answer 5

There are forces in nature that could fit the angry looking god in your first group of pictures. You know, the angry looking caucasian with white hair and beard. And that is the natural law. Or you could call it Karma. What you put out in the universe comes back at you. So put out good energies, thoughts, desires, words, etc. But I don't view God as a man nor a woman. He/ she is energy. But the african man in the white robe makes me think of the Christed one. Jesus you know had hair like lambs wool and skin like burnished bronze. (It says so in Revelation). When I see God, it's usually when I look in the mirror. Don't get me wrong, God is not in all things. He is all things. We live in a world much like the matrix, which leaves us feeling seperate from God, but it's an illusion. We are one. When Israeli's kill Arabs, and American's bomb Afghanistinians and Iraqi's we are killing ourselves. Which leaves me one question for you to think about before I leave. Who does this illusion of separation and difference serve?

Answer 6

I would go with Morgan Freeman. Not because I think God is black, but he looks the most open and welcoming. SItting at a desk with his hands out, welcoming, anyone, with a slight smile on his face.
However, I think God is probably everywhere, so maybe apicture of nature or the earth might be better. Who knows?

Answer 7

Because us humans used to be hunted as apes or wahterver since the begining of life, we are naturally afraid of a superior being, so when there was nothing higher than us to fear (i mean no animal) we created our own enemy, actually 2 of them, GOD and Satan, and we still stupidly fear something. But I like the first, as a simbol of wisdom.

Answer 8

Whenever I think of God I think of him as an old man with white hair and beard.

Answer 9

I agree with Karl. No one knows what God looks like. Why try to speculate?

Answer 10

Nobody knows what God looks like, and no one should worry about it.. I hate when people argue over it, that's not the reason He came down here. All we should be worried about is the fact that he saved us, that's it for me...
