1) Yes you are related some way technical. Even in evolution you possible could be related. We all came from Adam and Eve hence one blood.
2) God is spirit not flesh, Hence He can't be considered any of the above. The mix of black white and all other types of people is from the tower of Babel, when God confused the languages of mankind. They then went into different parts of the world. Where their bodies changed due to the type of climate they were living in.
3) Well as i said before God is spirit so technically He is more of a It. Although we have given Him the name of our Father, which would make Him a man figure. Plus a Man is to be the head of a household... hence we've had man oriented societies so God to us has to be either male or female so we called Him Him. Not trying to confuse hope i haven't lost you. Yet as i said God is actually neither. God is just that God. No words can really describe God accurately.
Hope i was a help. If you have any more questions feel free to contact me.

Good questions.
As the Bible explains we all came from the same forefathers Adam and Eve.
This makes us to be all children of this pair.
Although the worlds population is separated by vast distances and often look different on the outside we are still related.
When examining the DNA across various peoples around the world the difference is very , very small.
Differences in peoples looks (skin color etc) are just from the various genetic traits and selective breeding.
God see's all of us as his children through creation and reproduction so like him we should view all races as equal and help all men to discover the truth about God.
'Why do we assume God is a guy? couldn't he be a women?'
Firstly , God is a spirit creature , therefore he is neither male or female as we humans define it.
In Genesis it says that man (Adam in particular) was created in God's image.
Now again of course man isn't a copy of God , again as God is a spirit being and not made from flesh like we are.
What it refers to is personality and character traits.
Adam was created with a similar basic personality makeup to that of God.
Eve was created to be a compliment to Adam , and came from Adam.
Eve , while similar to Adam in many ways obviously has a different makeup , she is female.
As you would know , a womans personality is somewhat different to that of a mans.
Therefore , it is more accurately said that God is a He , and not a She.

1. God, the Father is the father of all of our spirits. He is also the Father of Jesus Christ in the flesh, thus, Jesus is the only begotten.
Numbers 16:22
And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh,
Psalms 82:6
...all of you are children of the most High.
2. Not really sure, but

3. God is a he because he is a Father. God is not 'everything' He is in form like a perfect man. There has never been a father without a son, a son without a father and the same thing can be said about a mother and child as well, meaning how did the Father of our spirits have spirit children?

I don't now where you people get that the people are God's children. The bible clearly says that the people are not God's children.
For some odd reason, people confuses the Jews with the people.
The Jews are God's children, but not the people.
You people are confused about what you read.
It's no wonder the bible says that the people on the earth in the last days will be brought up to believing in the false teachings, thinking that the false teachings are true.

1) Yep we all related in general sense, science even sides with this one.
2) God made people able to adapt to different environments, and different skins are more suited to different types enivronments.
3) Because if God was a woman she couldn't go 2,000yrs with out talking to us. ZING!!!

yes we all eventually came from Adam and Eve. I don't really know exactly how except that like with the tower of babel he seperated everyone and made them all speak different languages, and I think it has something to do with the different climates and lands. Some people believe Jesus was black because one verse describes him with hair like wool. Nobody knows. All we know is that he loves us all.

Yes, we are all God's children and, thus, all related (mostly distantly).
God transcends race and color. He's neither black, white, or any other color. He's a pure spirit - thus, such earthly realities as race and color don't apply to Him.
We speak of God as "Him" because Jesus did. Jesus spoke of God as "My Father".
