What does God look like?

In the bible we read a variety of things: first we were created in the IMAGE of God. Second, we read of people seeing God's hands, legs, feet, etc. Hearing his voice. Interestlingly, most christian religions take the bible to be very literal, yet on these ideas previously expressed, they don't take into account, which i neither say is good nor bad. However, if we were created in the image of God, look in the mirror. To say GOd has the shape of man, is by no means degrading our God. As a matter of fact look at it the other way, He is not the image of man, but we are the image of God. It shows how highly we, as His children, are looked upon in his eyes. Christ himself stood on the right hand of God in Stephen's vision before his death in Acts. I must say i have never seen God, but many people have, including jacob who wrestled with God, Moses spoke with God face to face as he would with another man. (i can give yo scriptural references in a future reply if you want them.) It all points to what the image of God is.

The God of The Bible was created in the minds of the people who told the stories that eventually became the Bible and they created him in their image. I suspect that most of those who believe in a single god have an image of a god that is similar to their image rather than Jaba the Hud.

I guess , Hank , that you would know that, as anybody else would know......

God is supposed to be universal and there is no one on this planet who could claim knowing what he is looking like.

Apart from that,I must say , that there is no God at all.
So,its no surprise at all , that nobody knows what God looks like.....

Love!

You can't prove to me there is no God. Where's your evidence? I want substantial proof of your opinion. Your definition of God as Universal is also so general it's wrong. A lot of religions in the world believe in more than just some random universal being.

Hi SSchultz0956!

First of all Id say , dont mention proof in cases one has no alternative proof.
Secondly , as you stated yourself , there are many versions of God,which in itself imply that there cant be proof for all these creations of the mind.
Remaining of course the proposition,that one of the "known" alternatives must be right or an additional one.

Let me opt for the additonal alternative one:there is no God.

So at least , if bringing proof into play at this point , we are even.

In my experiences in life I discovered the power of Life itself.That is the source of Life,which is in every living being.You can work together with your source of Life.
Your source of Life will work on your behalve and your wishes and will make them come true.
Even,one can practice using the power of your Life source directly.E.g. it is possible to move the clouds and let the sun shine just by directing the power of Life to that goal.(I can manage that if nature isnt too wild).
Many things ,which we think,being beyond our control or influence are ascribed to ( a) God,but in fact we can influence far more things consciously using the power of Life itself.Preferably all together,because we all = one and the power of more Life-sources is bigger than just one alone.

The power of Life itself is not almighty and it never does any harm or anything in the field of punishment.

Creation is no issue.
Its all about nature and we are part of it.
Universe is eternal,infinite and has been there always and will be for ever.

We should live to our potential ,acknowledging the potential of Life itself and accepting our limitations,without transferring or projecting them to phantasies like (any) God.

Living positive lives,our source of Life,which is in us, will work for us to its potential.
Any negativity will block this connection,because our energy will be pointed to and consumed by fixing that.
So , live a positive life acknowledging your Life-source and accepting the remaining limitations.

Love!

Since you don't believe in God and yo said,
you are neither a beleiver in science nor religion, what are you, a fish?

First of all, yes, you have no proof, second, my proof is everything around us. Question (though seemingly childish, humor me): Do you know what salt tastes like? If so, explain to me it's taste.
