Man-made religious images reflect the dominant culture at that time. This is slowly changing though. Let's face it, the world has been ruled by racism for centuries, as perpetrated by white men. Currently, white men are still dominant. Can you imagine they'd allow any OTHER sort of image to represent God? For example, if 'massa' even thought Jesus had been Black when he walked the Earth, how could they bring themselves at the same time to enslave the same people Jesus came from?\n\nAs an analogy, when Alex Wek, the dark-skinned African supermodel, appeared on Oprah Winfrey, Oprah commented, “If you’d been on the cover of a magazine when I was growing up, I would have had a different concept of who I was.” The same applies here. Viewing Jesus as anything but white and male would be the beginning of a major shift in world dynamics. It would change how Americans behave as a people. Having said that, other countries do have different-looking images of Jesus. But their views don't affect ours as much as ours affects them.\n\nI don't think the people who wrote the Bible were white. Jesus was a Jew from Israel as were many of the men through whom God spoke to write His Word. So far I've seen nothing to indicate people from Israel are white, not the ones who came from Europe I mean. Look at their Palestian (read: Brown) cousins.\n\nBut in reality it doesn't matter what color Jesus WAS. It just matters that He IS. Amen!

God appears to be quite a sexist bit of work. Could be jealousy.... as a 'masculine' deity, he can't give birth.Maybe he could do with a bit of balance. (shrugs)

The Bible suggests that humans are theomorphic, in the image of God.  But I think that men wrote this who had an anthropomorphic conception of God.  I think God is beyond any form like that.  Certainly he is not limited to some physical form.  For our benefit, God takes forms so that we can grasp some idea of what he is like.

if God shows up in human form. people will think he's/she's insane. but if the God shows up in a bright light with booming voice people would either gets scared and sh#t there pants and create chaos or they would be mesmerized and follow the voice.  \n\nBut,if I saw God in any form, I would ask God why did he create the universe? is it because he's/she's bored? is there other life forms somewhere in the universe? does he/she have magic trick?

I not know about a race, but most religions have simlar values and moral beliefs.  The might seem different but if you boil them down to their basics they are basically the same thing. So if God had a race he would have won a long time ago.

Since God made us according to his looks, then we should look like him.. just wihout the glory part :) (best answer please)

well, humans are so arrogant, we not only create a myth about some god, some said that he looks like a human. give me a break. god is a tool created to explain unknown things like dead and life, it does not look like something

We are all different, we come from different cultures, have different experiences.  Why would you think we would have the same understanding of God?\n\nGod does not impose himself on us as an objective reality, he writes his message on our hearts, not in our brain.  Imagine people approaching a mountain from different direction.  It the same mountain but people are going to see a different aspect of it.  None are wrong, its just a different perspective.

Well the lil piggy is wrong because jesus is not black he is white. And god would be white also.

I also have an argument....why is it that the Mormons did not allow African Americans to sit in their funky little churches until the late 60s, saying it was the word of God?  If what you claim is the word of God, why is it that one minute you make Him all powerful and the next you make Him change His word?  Why one minute African Americans are beneath you and the next you say that it is allowed for them to worship along side you.  The word of God dose not and I repeat dose not change with the times.

Amen.\nGod is neither a he or a she. God is God and God has no gender because God is not a human. I think God is indeed portrayed as a male (or a female to all you feminists out there) because humanizing God makes God's doctrines seem more familiar.\n\nNow read that paragraph. Doesn't it sound weird? Instead of saying him I simply replaced all pronouns with God. For writing to sound the least bit intellegent, pronouns are necessary. But your right, why he(/she). We need a pronoun for God that doesn't humanize him.

I do beleive in a creator/God, but the Jesus part is questionable, don't matter if you're a Christian, Jew, or Muslim!!! People have to open their mind I realize certain things are out of place about his story. I believe it was put there to worship man instead of god, to have more control over people, to divide and conquer and the list goes on, it so many. Because the truth is NO ONE knows how God really looks or etc!!!

God does not judge anything ever so God does not see the world in terms of right and wrong.\n\nThese ideas are our creations and we try our best to create a God as confused as we are.\n\nLove and blessings Don

This is an excelent question! \nat Genesis chapter 1 verses 26 and 27 it says\n\n26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.\n  \nto know the answer to this question, it is important to know what it is meant when it says that we were made in God's image and likeness. of course this does not mean that we have the same substance as God or angels but perhaps the same attributes. God is a spirit says the bible at \n\nJohn 4:24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."\n\nso when we read that we are made in his image, we should not imagine that we have a body like his. instead of thinking this way, we know that God has attributes like \n1.)Power\nJob 37:23 The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power;\n2 corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.\n2.)Justice\ndeutoronomy 32:4 He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are justice. A faithful God who does no wrong, \nupright and just is he.\nisaiah 61:8 "For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity.\n3.)Wisdom\nromans 11:33 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!\njob 12:13 "To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and\nunderstanding are his.\n4.)Love\n1john 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.\nexodus 34:6 And he passed in front of Moses,\nproclaiming, "The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, 7 maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin.\n\nwhen we examine this attributes and try to compare them with the rest of creation it is almost impossible to match them all in one of this things. for example if you try to attribute all of this qualities to the stars. certanly you could say that a star has power but what about the other three? or lets take a closer example, like the one of an animal. an animal is powerful and wise in instinct but it lacks in justice and the capacity to love. is this not incredible that only humans like you and me match all of this qualities, one by one. yes both man and women have the capacity to use their physical power to work and do good. also they have the wisdom to use it correctly and to know what is right and wrong and what pleases God and what he dissaproves. then we have a sense of justice that no one else has. I have never seen a dog not eat the food of the other less strong puppy because it would not be just to take what is not his. we have the ability to help each other and to set rules that benefit all in the house hold or community so that it will be fair as far as we can. and last but most important of all we have the ability to Love. God gives us each and every single day the opportunity to show our love toward each other and most importantly towards him. do you remember that Jesus said? to love our neighbor as ourselves and to love God.\nwhen adam and eve were in paradise, they had a perfect start and opportunity to benefit from God directly and cultivate their, wisdom, justice, and love and make this qualities grow. they could have learned directly from God, but after they sinned they lost favor and were thrown out of paradise.\ngenesis 3:22 And Jehovah God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." 23 So Jehovah God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 24 After he drove

I believe that God created Adam and Eve and there is genetic evidence uniting all humans regardless of color.  In the bible we read the story of the Tower of Babel and how God confused the language.  There is no biblical confirmation, but I believe that God is just and merciful even in punishment, and for this reason I believe that God created the races when he changed the language. Probably not instantaneously but I do think it logical that this is when the different races came into being.  I can only imagine the fear and confusion of no longer being able to understand your neighbor and I think a merciful loving God changed peoples appearances according to language and habitat so that they would recognize and bond with those who spoke the same language.

I think God is both male and female and appears in innumerable forms. God is everything.
