Is there any reason (other than religious texts) why God would be like a human in any way?

Question

I meant LIKE a human - in the Old Testament he clearly expresses emotions such as anger, love etc. But without the Bible or other holy book, and just logic, there is surely no reason God would be any more like us than like a pineapple...

Answer 1

There is no other concept of God except in religious texts so no point looking elsewhere. Man is made in the likeness of God so he is like us.

Answer 2

You did not give the religion text. Is the bible called religion. If a scripture in the bible says religion, to me that is religion, a 1000 religions and all different is nothing.

Bible says Gen.1:26,"Let us make man in our image, in our likeness."

Who was first creation created in the image of God, and where is that taught in religions or in the bible? Answer this question, YOU HAVE YOUR ANSWER.
Luke 20:34-36 Angels do not die, Rev.5:11 are vast in number are very old Job.38:4-7;
Adam and some more almost lived 1000 years, so today Adam if alive would be 6072 years for us [ for God he would be 6 of God's day and 72 years old, and in his image as to life ], life was lost, Adam died in the day he sinned in, the life sustaining earth was lost [ THIS IS BIBLE AND NOT RELIGION ];

Answer 3

No. God is like YOU!!! lol!
Seriously, in the Bible it states that we were created after his image. That would mean that humans are supposed to live their lives to reflect the image of God. God is light and we should reflect his light throughout the world and preach the gospel. There is a big difference in God and humans - GOD DOESN'T SIN AND WE ARE BORN INTO SIN.

So NO God is not like us. Jesus was the human form of God and was crucified for it.

Answer 4

Humans like it when other humans are happy and having fun.Flowers,and everything is made when understood to be enjoyed.Animals are beautifully made(look at the colours etc.)and they play and have fun together.Would you say that it took a happy God to make all this and meant to be happy together.

Answer 5

God is nothing like a human. Jesus came in human form. God never was in human form. You are confused.

Answer 6

God, if it existed, would be by all definition totally unknowable. Lives in an unknowable realm, and doesn't allow us to know it by any of the senses in which we know everything else.
This God will always be a reflection of who we are. or wish we were.

Answer 7

If a life form is advanced enough to think rationally, it is also advanced enough to think emotionally. Clearly God must be smart, therefore he must be emotional.

Answer 8

To lead by example.
If you were to approach an ant hill and your shadow would overtake and cover the hill (God), the ants would tremble in fear and confusion, But if you became one of them and dwelt among them and related to them what would your disposition be.

Answer 9

God was never a human. John 3:17 says it was God's SON who came to earth--not God himself. To read that God himself came to earth is to read something into this verse that simply isn't there.

Answer 10

This eternal existence (Sky) which is one, is Supreme God .A prime & Supreme soul. A "Ishwar".

God is prime element, which is converted into creation. In other words in the sky of infinity this infinitely existing, is called God, who is associated with all visible and invisible. God is an existence. We are part of it, like a molecule in a stone. The molecule of infinity as a whole is called a stone. Likewise a small existence of God in every molecule is a prime truth. Effect of creation is called nature and being self processed.

The procedure of processing is nature, which is created by effect of creation.

Now God is an existence and every part of God is managed by automatic system of nature .We are being managed by nature, which is called, “shakti”(almighty) and whole existence is called “shiva”. Respectively territorial parts of nature are called bhagwan\ deities. The prime soul of whole existing is “Ishwar”, which at present is in salvation position. Ishwar was and will be almighty at the time of starting conversion of element into creation and end of creation (kayamat). Then after he will be new creator of new creation .It is endless process and continuous process. Molecules of creation are being transformed into “Atma”(soul) by it’s nature.

Heaven\Hell is within the world and it’s atmosphere. This world is like a big computer and our soul is a cursor.

At present nature is almighty . Nature is not yet became perfect. She is partially negative also. She has desires for improvement, increase of her strength and capacity. She likes every thing as you compel to do by your nature. Now you have two ways, either you have to faith in your God or go with nature. Nature Involves enjoyment as well as punishment and sacrifice . Her every action gets reaction. So enjoy the life or strict in your faith in God. Who will give you better position in next creation. If you are very bad man you will be toilet cleaner in next creation. So know your self and be cooperative and merciful to each other. Then, nature will also love you as well as God loves you.

Nature cares all the creatures--microbes, insects ,birds, animals, evils as well as human being. She has to arrange food for every one. She is playing game for unlimited enjoyment. There fore, it is dangerous situation for all. Who are saved ....? Every one can be used any time by the nature….there is end of every living thing...
