It seems that many Christians say that Jesus is a God, and God is a God, but seem to personalize "Him" into a human form. Do most Christians believe God is like a human teacher, but in a different place (Heaven, maybe) and teaches us Intelligent Design from a throne and lets non-believers do the science? Or do Christians believe God is an indescribable energy form that affects the universe like nuclear energy affects things? I'm wondering if most Christians visualize God as a human form who lives in some unseen, mysterious place, or if maybe the Christian God is not a human form, but could be interpreted as Universal Energy that facilitates wondrous discoveries. And if Human form, then why is He "perfect" with all the horrible things in the world, and why would non-believing scientists give us so many important discoveries? Thanks.

God's true form is not known to any mortal... and will not be known untill those who enter Heaven meet Him in His true form.
God has chosen to interact with mankind through three basic forms; The Faither, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. But these are just manifestations ,not his true form.

there is the Father, Son and Holy Spirt. 3 persons in one God, not 3 gods. They have always been and we always be. When the Son came to Earth He became True Man along with True God. Jesus is now True God and True Man. At times Jesus held back his divine power or He used it. Yet at this time He was True Man and True God. Scientist just need to step back and realize what the earth is like. My teacher always says look at the Periodic Table of Elements. It is Perfect. Explain how an explosion can do that. They just need to say there is so much order God created it. Even if they say a supreme power it's a step forward. plus alot easier to do on a test then evolution.

God is spirit. Jesus was/is God living in a human body "The Word made flesh." God has three distinct personalities: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
God possesses all knowledge, so any knowledge or understanding that we have is revealed by God. Whenever someone makes a discovery, invents something, or learns how to treat a disease, that information and insight has been revealed by God. If there is something that God does not want us to know, there is no way for us to know it.
God created us and our universe as perfect and operating in perfect order, yet he allowed us to choose between him and his perfection and evil. Adam and Eve chose to go their own way and to rely on their own wisdom rather than following God. This resulted in sin entering the human race and corrupting all of mankind and creation. God's plan is to redeem mankind through the shed blood of Jesus Christ and to bring all of creation back into its designed order.

I can't speak for all Christians, but I know that God is a Spirit. He is infinite in power and love. I know that He can reside anywhere He pleases. He is everywhere. I do believe that He does emit a wonderful energy that is discerned by believers. I do not believe God is mystical or magical--He just simply is God. I believe He is the God of Abraham and Issac and David of the Old Testament--and I believe that He gave His son, Jesus to us in the human form to deliver us from eternal hell and damnation.

God is Spirit.
Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Christ was God with us.
Heb 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
Some scientist, not all, do their research and testing with the preconceived notion, that God is not possible. They are suppose to consider all possibilities. Being obstinate they cannot accept the greatness of God.
As to the carnal world and all it's woes. What is 80 years compared to eternity?

This is what I believe - Please do not take this for what the bible says, because the bible is vague on this topic so that people would not make idols of God and worship them instead. (like Catholics with Jesus and Mary)
I think that God the Father looks like beauty. Just imagine the most beautiful thing you can and I think thats what God will look like when we get there.
Jesus will most likely still be in the human form he took when he came down, but Im not sure.
The Holy Spirit is a spirit, one we cannot see, but can feel.
All three work together as one to achieve the goals GOD has set. They all have different jobs but act as one entity (The trinity).
(The way I see it, its like our brain, conscience and human tendencies)
Just my two Cents!

I think it depends on the religion. I have heard that some believe that God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are all one thing. They are not a physical form.
For me, as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints (AKA Mormon), we believe that God the Father has a physical body in human form. The same goes for Jesus Christ. The two are separate beings and are perfect. Then there is the Holy Ghost. He is in human form but it is a spirit body, not a physical body.
People can believe what they want. This is what I believe. BTW, Mormons are Christians.

I do not believe that God is human... he created us in his image, but NOT as a Deity...
Jesus came to earth and took on flesh and humanness to walk and grow and talk with His people... to suffer and die and rise again.
God doesnt make our choices. Many of the 'horrible' things in the world are because of the choices of people... God gave us free will... we can choose to do things that improve the world or destroy it... and He allows us to do that...
I think that believing and nonbelieving scientists all discover things... some are 'true' and others are 'not entirely true' ...

God is much more then we simple minded humans can comprehend.were just little bitty small tiny souls.which is why were here. to learn and to grow in the Spirit of Gods guidance.Jesus was not God.he was though Gods son.he had Gods spirit with him.we all need to have Gods spirit within us.all that call on the name of the Lord will not be saved. only those who do my fathers will. will make it to heaven said Jesus.we must be in the spirit of Gods will. to ask of it. and listen to that very quiet voice within that will tell us the answers. and then we must try to do its will.people wont to believe certain things ,but the act of believing doesn't change God or his spirit in anyway. God is just what it is.with faith and love and the asking of the spirit will we then make it to heaven when we die.Merry Christmas

You ask many questions here that would take a long time to talk about. God is Spirit. He wasn't created, or happened from Chaos, HE IS. He refers to Himself as I AM. God is perfect. He created man to have a relationship with Him. He also gave mankind freedom of self will. (otherwise He would be havinga relationship with a puppet). Man lived in perfect harmony with God, until, by man's choice, he sinned. thus, he went from perfect to sinful. God cannot be in the presence of sin, He is perfect being. Thus we are now in a world of our choice, both good and evil. God has made a way for us to live in perfect Holiness with Him, through the gift of Jesus Christ. One day, when Jesus returns, people will be judge, did you trust in yourself, or in the ability of God to save to you? At that time, there will be no evil in the world and we will be back in that perfect pure state of no death again.
Regarding Scientific discoveries, they are still discovering. Seems they still are wrong and have to alter even their most wise of findings. To me, they all point to a God and not to conicidental chaos.
