Did your granparents God (The Father)looks like a man ?Or at least do you happen to believe so despite other philosophical or theological views?
No matter what religion you are could you give me an answer?
I am also very interested of an answer from Jews, as our Christian religion is a continuity of their Torah..
But anyone is welcome if he can answer...
Thank you very much...

GOD can do anything-He is God, it was predicted that He would come to earth and He did--Isaiah 9:6 and Isaiah 52:13-53:12 that he would lay down his life to make atonment for our sins. So God did come to earth as a man Jesus-and in heaven it is unknown about the God head-only that Jesus is at the right hand of the Father making intercession, and that when we see the Messiah Jeuss we shall be like Him. the Bible

My own poor understanding is that God's true appearance is something we cannot now imagine. Portraying Him in manlike form is done because people simply cannot envision His true glory. When the Bible says man is made "in God's image", this means a spiritual likeness rather than a physical one. Similar is the portrayal of angels as winged, doe-eyed boys and maidens. Nowhere in the Bible are they described thus; it is simply an image that people can understand, applied to what we cannot otherwise imagine.

Judaism originated by remaining separate from cultures that made their pharoahs (or other leaders, moon, sun, etc.) into gods. In the 3rd century A.D., when Christians agreed on the Nicene creed making Jesus into a god, it was necessary for Jews to separate themselves from the Jewish sect that couldn't worship a God they could not see for themselves.

Jewish here, and no, God does not look like a man, or mate with a woman, or ever come to the earth as a man. God is not in any way, shape or form Human.

Jesus lives. He replaced into not chanced on by using the Roman infantrymen or mom Mary whilst He rose. as quickly as I get to heaven i will permit you be responsive to what God appears like, yet i'm specific it somewhat is extremely not gender particular like your question/assertion says. additionally, the Christian faith isn't a continuity of the Torah as much because it somewhat is with regard to the existence of Jesus and the acts of Paul installation the church (New testomony.) Christians do not sacrifice their first borns, in accordance to the Torah :-(

Your statement contains an error. No, the Christian religion is NOT a continuity of the Torah. It is a total repudiation of the Torah.
Sorry, but you really should know.
And the answer to you main question is NO.

In Catholic school we always referred to God as a male, but I believe that God is neither, just God ...
