I am looking for the description of God, because I am confused, if we are made in His image, then where did he come up with the private parts of the sexes? Does He have both gender features of the sexes?

Dan 7:9 As I looked, thrones were placed, and the Ancient of days took his seat; his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames; its wheels were burning fire.

Rev 1:13 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.
Rev 1:14 The hairs of his head were white like wool, as white as snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire,
Rev 1:15 his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters.

God is fully a Spirit! We were made in His image but we are not totally as He is. A good analogy would be how when we are born we look a lot like our parents but we are not totally as they are.

I believe it is the love chapter in the Bible (I think II Corinthians 13, but I can't remember). That describes God. (If it isn't II Corinthians, maybe it is I Corinthians.)

Of course not you didn't read very well. He made man in his own image. It doesn't say he made woman in his own image. It doesn't say but I suspect he made woman in the image of one of his Angels. xx

Isaiah 6:1
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple.

Ezekiel 1
25 Then there came a voice from above the expanse over their heads as they stood with lowered wings. 26 Above the expanse over their heads was what looked like a throne of sapphire, and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man. 27 I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him. 28 Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking.

Daniel 7
9 "As I looked, "thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took his seat. His clothing was as white as snow; the hair of his head was white like wool. His throne was flaming with fire,
and its wheels were all ablaze...13 "In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.

Revelation 1
12I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13and among the lampstands was someone "like a son of man," dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. 14His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. 15His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. 16In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance. 17When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. 18I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.

That is a figure of speech. We are made in his likeness, as we were made to be holy, and pure just like he is.

Ezekiel 1 & Rev 4:7

The river flowed from Eden, the land in which was planted the garden of God. Adam was created in the image of God, and God placed him in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve were blessed by God, who said to them, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”

God created the earth after the pattern of his throne. Adam was created in the image of God. Just as God is in the midst of the four living creatures in heaven, Adam was in the midst of the four-sectioned earth. Just as God has dominion over the heavenly host from his throne in heaven, Adam was placed in paradise to have dominion over the earthly host.

In this way Adam was created in the image of God, but when he sinned, he ceased being a “Faithful and True Witness”, and became (in type) one who is outside the will of the One who established the foundations of all creation. He was expelled from Eden to signify his new role in the overall scheme of things.

If Adam had remained a “faithful and true witness”, his descendants would have been a type of the river that went forth to water the four corners of the earth. Contrariwise, after Adam’s transgression, God said to Adam “ . . .cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee . . .” (KJV) Adam was created in the image of God, and in symbolism, is a type of God himself from whom the water of life flows. The curse upon Adam after the fall is very appropriate because Adam had ceased being a conduit of that water, and the ground was thus cursed to bring forth thorns and thistles.

If you are really serious in knowing God ....Read about Jesus....
Jesus said: " If you have seen me you have seen the Father".
