what do you really think god looks like?

Answer 1

Look in the mirror. The bible says he created us in his own image.

Answer 2

...Consider these verses:
1) Colossians 1:15 15[Now] He is the exact likeness of the unseen God [the visible representation of the invisible]...
2) John 14:8-9
...8 "Philip said to Him, Lord, show us the Father [cause us to see the Father--that is all we ask]; then we shall be satisfied.
...9 Jesus replied, Have I been with all of you for so long a time, and do you not recognize and know Me yet, Philip? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say then, Show us the Father?"

Answer 3

Ask a hundred different people to describe God and you will get one hundred different answers. God appears differently to every person, and every one of them is right.

When I was very young, I used to have a cereal bowl from Kelloggs that had the Raisin Bran sun imprinted on the bottom. Every morning, I would eat cereal from that bowl and as I tipped it up to drink the milk, there would be the Raisin Bran sun smiling up at me. For me, that was my mental image of God.

I knew, of course, that it wasn't what God actually looked like, but it was God smiling up at me from that bowl, insuring me that I would, in fact, have a great day.

As I grew older, God took on other forms. I realized that an omniscient and omnipotent being was hardly limited in forms that He could take, so He could look like anything or anyone He chose. I imagined that He took a different guise whenever the mood struck Him.

When I became Wiccan, God took on yet another form, that of a bearded, muscular, naked man, with antlers growing from his temples. And his consort, the Goddess, is a naked, dusky-skinned, dark-haired woman of incredible beauty. But they, just like the Christian God, can assume any form they wish.

Answer 4

I believe that in being human we can't even begin to comprehend or describe what God(dess) looks like because S/He isn't like anything we've ever seen or experienced. That is, assuming that God(dess) has a physical form at all. I believe that during our lives on Earth God(dess) appears to us in whatever way will be most comforting to us at the time. Some people see angels, some see a man in a white robe and white beard, still others see a nude woman with flowing blonde hair, or a woman with dark skin who is heavy with child... the list goes on and on. But the TRUE appearance of God(dess) (if S/He has one) will not be known to us until we are finally reunited with Him/Her when we ascend/reach enlightenment.

Blessings and Light!

Answer 5

A totally ripped old geezer with grey hippie length hair and a long beard. Kind of like Gerry Garcia on steroids, bleached. Look at any of the paintings from when people used to meet him in person. ( God not Gerry)

Answer 6

Since there has been no revelation as to what God looked like and only Jesus, I can't say.
Praise the lord and God bless

Answer 7

A really bright light, like a star. Sometimes, in a dream, I picture Him like a really bright beam shining straight up like a searchlight on steriods.

As for Jesus, I picture Him like some of the popular paintings, but we have a copy of the Warner Sallman picture at our home that was given us as a gift. One day my wife and I were talking about whether our souls existed in heaven before we were born or we simply started our existence in our mother's womb. My wife sort of thought we were eternal and like the pictures Micheangelo did on the Cistine chapel, there was a crowd of witnesses when God did the creation, all faces that would appear again in the other scenes elsewhere. I was of the opinion that we are uniquely made at the moment of conception and our lives go from there. That night our baby awoke in the middle of the night and wouldn't go back to sleep for a while. I took a turn at rocking him while my wife went back to bed. In order to keep me awake, I would walk around the room and show him things and tell him all about them, the sleep-inducing powers of my story-telling are legendary in my family. At that time, my son would not go to just anybody, strangers were looked at with curiousity, but he clung to whomever was holding when confronted with someone new. When I walked over to that picture of Jesus, he turned and smiled and threw up his hands like he wanted to be picked up--while he was in my arms. While this doesn't "prove" anything, it gave me a shiver and made me want to rethink my opinion, which included my opinion of Sallman's Jesus picture which I had previously thought too weak and wimpy.

Answer 8

We really don't know because God is spirit and we can't see spirit. But Jesus took a mortal body like ours into heaven, where it was further glorified. He is described in the first chapter of Revelation, and John's description of Him is really awesome.

Answer 9

The Bible says that God is a Spirit.

Answer 10

Answer 11

The Scripture says that we were made "in His graven image" which to me means that He made us to look like Him, only in a human body rather than a glorified one.
