God is a spirit and as such He is none of the above. When Scripture says that we" were made in His image." It is saying that God the Supreme Being gave us intelligence, free will to make our own decisions, that we can create objects from the raw materials found in the Earth. The Creator made everything from nothing. We need something to make something else.

That we have the capacity to love. Although not on the same level as the Creator. God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit ie Trinity. Man is flesh, blood and spirit ie a tri-unity.

God is referred to in the masculine gender in the Bible. That is because those given revelation as to His nature, were males. Males were the patriarchs of the family, and made all the decisions. This has no reflection on the gender of God. He is, and was, and always will be. Without beginning and without end.

Maybe the image is not a physical "image".
Universal Spirit, The Knowing, God (interpretation varies, although the same thing in my book~just different way of interpreting it)
isn't male or female, black, white asian, latino,ect.
It's not a he or a she.
My belief is it's something like a highly creative, loving, all knowing energy beyond anyone's comprehension.

This is what God says in the final revelation the noble Qur' an

Qur' an
112:1 SAY: "He is the One God:
112:2 "God the Eternal, the Uncaused Cause of All Being.
112:3 "He begets not, and neither is He begotten;
112:4 "and there is nothing that could be compared with Him.

2:255 Allah. There is no god but He,-the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory).

I think you have touched on God making mankind in his own image - which is a very valid point.

if you are asking - is God male or female - you are then turning that about in trying to make God in mankind's image

the truth to be told God is larger than being only male or only female as both aspects are created in Gods image

the same could be said of racial grouping. originally mankind were like a blend of what we now call racial groups which became separated over time and distance. But each racial group possesses some portion of humanity which originally was created in Gods image.

the thing is when considering God is to realize that although we tend to make certain reference points that are familiar to us that this in itself can limit our understanding of God

You are just a race baiter and trying to wake up all the White haters. .If your good looking it doesn't matter what race you are. And most Latino/Hispanic would be rated as good looking. Tan skin, thick dark hair and brown eyes are not the qualities of a ugly person. Stop being such a bigot ant just judge the person.

Image does not refer to physical image. It refers to the spiritual image (akin to a computer's image, operating system, etc.) Souls only possess a physical body while on the physical plane (Earth).

God has no physical body, therefore no gender, no race, no ethnicity. God is spirit .... a POWER.

God is spirit, not human. What does it mean to be created in "God's image?" I believe it means we have spiritual selves, we have souls. To say that God is either male or female is to create God in our image.

ALL OF THE ABOVE !

God is everything, both Male & Female.
Black, White, Asian and all others all in one.

It is really hard for our limited minds to concieve the fullness and oneness of the Allmighty Infanite God.

Great Question !

God Bless & keep the Faith !

ALLAH: ALLAH is the proper name in Arabic for The One and Only God, The Creator and Sustainer of the universe. It is used by the Arab Christians and Jews for the God (Eloh-im in Hebrew; 'Allaha' in Aramaic, the mother tongue of Jesus, pbuh). And in Hinduism God is known as Allah in Rigveda bk2 hym1 v11, Rigveda bk3 hym30 v10, Rigveda bk9 hym67 v30. And there is a separate Upanishad named Alloh Upanishad. The word Allah does not have a plural or gender. Allah does not have any associate or partner, and He does not beget nor was He begotten.

Yahweh of the Old Testament was male, and was probably envisioned by his followers as having similar features to the Israelites.

"God" however is probably more accurately described as neither male nor female, and having no features that would distinguish him as of one particular race or ethnicity. All races and genders came from God, so God is not one of them only.
