What does God look like?

[MatthewG]

John 4:24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth."
Hebrews 12:29 for our "God is a consuming fire."
1 John 4:8 But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

We are all corrupted human beings, and no one is righteous. According to Romans Chapter 3.

Without Christ Jesus, Mans effort of being Good, and being good enough to make it into Heaven based on their merits and looking at God as a man and would be accepting of them. This view is untrue. It is heartbreaking really....

Christ Jesus was the only righteous one that lived on this earth, who is the one whom all should place their faith in to allow us to be save to the kingdom of God. Us as human beings are not good but God is. God was good enough to see us as important and loved us enough to send his son Jesus Christ to pay for all the sin of the world.

That when we look on the Lord Jesus Christ, we are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus by his righteousness and not us.

Never about what we do, or anything, if you produce works it is out of Love for God an the Lord Jesus Christ. It is love towards Jesus Christ an his way, and not what we as human beings look to in saying what is good and what is not good.

Jesus Christ is the one to look towards.


Now with all this being said, What does God look like?

From my understanding a beam of the brightest white light, that is spirit, that is a consuming fire, and that is Love is what God looks like.

This God that is a consuming fire that burns so bright can blind you, destroy you, or light can help you see, and cleanse the darkness out of you is a terrifying image to behold before in front of God who sees and knows we are all sinful, and we all needed a saviour.

That Saviour is the Lord Jesus Christ... Who died, and was risen again by God.

Jesus is God..come in the flesh..

John 14:9 ESV
[9] Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?

 

[MatthewG]

Hello crossnote you share a scripture that is agreed upon by me. God was with us with Jesus Christ name being Emmanuel.

However humans can get things mixed up, when it comes to actually describing God. These scriptures that are shared in the original post, describe God - Alone.


John 4:24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth."
Hebrews 12:29 for our "God is a consuming fire."
1 John 4:8 But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

Let me put it to you this way.

God is a beaming white hot fire of light that loves.
God is spirit.
God is incomprehensible.
God is not grandpa with a long beard, and stretched out arms.
God is something way beyond this.
God is holy. We are not.

It would be hard to hang out with God who is a consuming fire, on the couch. For He is holy and we can not measure up this standard. This is why Jesus Christ is so important to the faith, and clinging toward Him, for the God whom we serve through Faith by the Grace that is a gift from God, is holy and we are not we are all sinful and need a saviour.

Some people will not accept the way God was in the old testament for He had many people killed and everything like this.

This being, or That being - God - Loved us so much that He sent his only begotten son to embody flesh, - which we look to as a representative of Him.

Fire can warm a house.
Fire can burn it down.
It can illuminate your path.
It can illuminate your mind.
It can blind your eyes (example just like Paul had be been blinded before meeting Christ Jesus.)
It can sanitize everything so that it is clean.
Or it burn things up beyond recognition.

Understanding that there is a dualistic way to fire, and trying to understand that God is spirit, God is a consuming fire, and God is love. You will see where you want to stand relative to access to Him.

For none of us are righteous Jew or Gentile, before God.

You will see that.

His light, love, and consuming fire - God

It can warm you, give you vision and the ability to see, it can purify you.

Or

It can destroy you, it can blind you, or it can wipe you out.

Jesus Christ was most certainly the expressed image of the invisible God. Who was the Son of God, and Jesus Christ is the Lord, and Jesus Christ was the Word, who created when God spoke.

Thank you for your post sir, hope this better helps understand.

Matthew, not quite sure of the point you are trying to make. I simply will not divorce Jesus from being fully God (and fully man) however else He is to be described.

Let me put it to you this way.

God is a beaming white hot fire of light that loves.
God is spirit.
God is incomprehensible.
God is not grandpa with a long beard, and stretched out arms.

Whatever pictures we imagine Him to be, He is only comprehendible as He has revealed Himself through His Son, not our imaginings that go beyond His Word.

It would be hard to hang out with God who is a consuming fire, on the couch. For He is holy and we can not measure up this standard. This is why Jesus Christ is so important to the faith, and clinging toward Him, for the God whom we serve through Faith by the Grace that is a gift from God, is holy and we are not we are all sinful and need a saviour.

Yes, it's impossible to 'hang out' with the 'raw' God, that is part of the reason why He became man to restore the broken fellowship. We now have confidence through the blood of Jesus Christ to approach the Throne of Grace.

Hebrews 4:15-16 (KJV) For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrews 10:22 (KJV) Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

For none of us are righteous Jew or Gentile, before God.

You will see that.

His light, love, and consuming fire - God

It can warm you, give you vision and the ability to see, it can purify you.

Yes, I have been seeing that for 47 years since He turned my life around.

Jesus Christ was most certainly the expressed image of the invisible God. Who was the Son of God, and Jesus Christ is the Lord, and Jesus Christ was the Word, who created when God spoke.

Thank you for your post sir, hope this better helps understand.

Yes, just like a die pressed into the clay leaves its EXACT stamp in the clay, so we 'see' Jesus (Heb 2.9).

Hebrews 1:3 (KJV) Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

 

[MatthewG]

Oh okay Crossnote, understand.

You see Jesus Christ being fully God, and Fully Man.

Though for me and my belief sees the Lord Jesus Christ as 50/50, God/Man. That Jesus Christ is the Lord, also God was with us being one with His 'Word' Jesus Christ - Son the son of God, and was the Lord.

It is something that can easily cause division which is not my angle at all.
Believe we should be respectful towards each others and our difference and in our understanding.
Will not fight about this understanding:

The purpose of this thread is trying to see and look at what God looks like.

We are looking at God for what it seems the bible describes God as Being,

Which are these scriptures:

John 4:24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth."
Hebrews 12:29 for our "God is a consuming fire."
1 John 4:8 But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.


The picture that is given is a description of God - This is the indication of the Invisible God, and what He is.

God is a beaming white hot fire of light that loves.
God is spirit.
God is incomprehensible.
God is not grandpa with a long beard, and stretched out arms.
God is something way beyond this.
God is holy. We are not.

Do not believe this view goes beyond the word of God for they explain God very clearly.

God is spirit, God is Love, God is consuming fire. -

This has nothing to do with Jesus Christ really (Though our Lord Jesus Christ is the Expressed image of the Invisible God will not disagree with anyone about this.)

However simply looking at God - for thus the title is : What does God look like?

Thank you for your time to address everything.

Appreciate your comment, the scriptures given for us to read do agree with you about them.

I prefer 100/100 God/man because that is how the Scriptures reveal Him.
If He was any less God, He couldn't be a sacrifice for all and if any less man, he couldn't be a sacrifice for even one person. It's extremely important.

Ok, brother. Got some interesting questions about that but that is for another thread.

Yes three things (trinity) make God what he is. First of all he is not a man as us and neither is there any fleshly or what the eyes see infallible teaching umpire set between God and man. . with approval of both man and God. . Called a daysman or what some call a Pope.

Job 33:32;33 For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment. Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both

(1) God is Spirit and not that he can give spirit but is the essence of all spirit life.. .the storeroom

John 4:24 [ God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
(2) God is Light and in the same way he can temporally create it.

1 John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

The temporal Sun and Moon was created in His absence which did occur on day four , Three days with three denoting the end of the matter. God corrupted the whole creation. Time under the sun began He was the glory or light of the earth. Setting the corruption times keepers in the heavens until the last day .When his glory will return and there will be no more night or darkness ..

Revelation 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

(3) God is love while God is a jealous God owning all things His love is not jealous it works in us to both to will and perform the good pleasure of his will

1 John 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

 

[crossnote]

I like pairing these two verses together to put 'flesh' on a gnostic Jesus.

John 1:1 (KJV) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 1:14 (KJV) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

 

[MatthewG]

Crossnote, agree with you on those scriptures.

I believe that even Jesus Christ is the Lord God Almighty, and I don’t believe in the trinity. Just wanted to share what God looks like.

If Jesus was the Father, then why didn’t Jesus know everything if he went to the synagogues to learn ?

If Jesus was the Father then why was he tempted by Satan if the Father can not be tempted?


Do believe God was with us when it comes to Jesus Christ and him being named Emmanuel. For it means God with us, but was Jesus the Man of Nazareth Fully God?

Or was God fully in Him by the spirit when John baptized Him in the river and Jesus was the expression of God by the essence of Gods spirit inside of the man Jesus Christ Flesh?



Here are some questions to think about.

It is good to think about questions and answer them how you see them by your perception, and don’t believe anyone is less of a Christian if they do not fully understand either.

If we are saved by Grace that is a gift from God by placing Faith on the Lord Jesus Christ and his bloodshed along that is a big weight off of many peoples shoulders to know.

Everything can be debated nearly it is good to learn from others, so that is good as well.

John said he baptized us with water, but Jesus will baptize you with the holy spirit: John baptized Jesus and the Holy Spirit fell on him like a dove.

It is the same premise today, people believe and turn towards God and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ the believer is given the Holy Spirit, and part of God (holy spirit) (the spirit of Christ) lives in them.

Hope this helps you better understand, my own understanding. Thank you for your time.

Hello Garee;

I was following your post and came across your paragraph. "The temporal Sun and Moon was created in His absence which did occur on day four , Three days with three denoting the end of the matter. God corrupted the whole creation. Time under the sun began He was the glory or light of the earth. Setting the corruption times keepers in the heavens until the last day .When his glory will return and there will be no more night or darkness .."

I kind of get you when I read this, but I can't see God corrupting the whole creation, but instead, always revealing the salvation of Christ Jesus. Do you mean, God allowing the corruption?

Thank you, Garee.
God bless you and your family.

Thank you, Garee.
God bless you and your family.

Thanks I can try. Hope you can bear with my wriiting no skill.

Its not so much what I would call allowed but the result of somrthing disapering .He did not allow Adam and Eve they heard the voice and saw a magnficant creature who lost his ablity to walk . Walking represents understanding in the Bible . He washed his hands having cutt off feet and left him crawling

It’s one of those, it’s in the works . . .on a back burner on simmer. Hard to know where to start. Because the whole creation all the rudiments are corrupted dying it is shown leading to total destruction death and the new creation appearing. . Two beginnings were created in the one beginning. generations, plural when they not it, was created.

Genisis 2: 4 these are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,

I would call that the departure of Glory. The fall. .Exposing mankind nakedness the darkened hearts serving another god of false pride .I think 1 John 2 speaks of it .

1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

What I would call the winding down of the temporal corruption time keepers . . the Sun and the moon, also referenced in the Bible to “under the Sun”. Hear on earth the place God accepts the works we work with him .

They together. . the “glory” of the Sun as source of light and the reflected glory moon . They would appear In the end of the matter represent as a parable, the work of the father and the Son. The gospel. No Son no Father . . . No Father no Son all one glory of one God . . . not seen

Revelation 21:11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

I would offer In the new heavens and earth the Father and Son will become one glorious light source .There will be no night indicated by the lesser light the Moon.As Jesus said . .I and the Father are one. The father said the same . . hear him who works out the will of the Father the beloved Son Jesus .. . the eternal preist.

Revelation 21: 22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.

In the beginning God said; let there be light. That light was not created but the actual glory of God. God moving establishing His presence as the unseen Creator. God is not a man. His glory departed dying began.

The word three seems to signify the end of the matter throughout the Bible. . . “The beauty of God uncorrupted glory “shown in creation using precious stones which are also used to represent the believers fell and the false glory given to the god of this world the lying spirit called legion became the ruler with his lying wonderers men placing faith in things with no life .

Lucifer robbed God of his glory rather than protect it

Ezekiel 28:13Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

Ezekiel 28:17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

By reason of "thy brightness" the reflected glory of the god of this world the god of false pride . God's name is jealous he wil not share his glory with the temporal things seen. Neither after the orla traditons as philosphies of men or any rudimnet of this corrupted world could we know Christ .I would think we know him if walk according to his understansings the light unto our feet

You could say the father of lies usurped the glory of God by reason of his false brightness making it after the things seen the temporal dying. All that glitters is not gold.

Mankind’s day six corruption began with Cain and Abel the first and second born.The father of lires a murderer from that beginnig .

First and second born used to signify the gospel throughout the Bible.

You said..........
"Though for me and my belief sees the Lord Jesus Christ as 50/50, God/Man".

In mathmatics.....50-50 makes 100 and that would be correct.

However......Jesus was 100% man and !00% God and that in theology makes ONE! Jesus was fullu God and fully man in a human body makieing Him the God-Man.

It is just like 1 Holy Spirit + 1 One Heaven Father +1 One Son = 1!!!

 

[MatthewG]

Yes sir, Major. That is what was said.

There is a teaching that says Jesus was 100% God, and was 100% man.

That doesn't make sense to me, because of my mind and thoughts that have to ask questions.

What makes you think this is a question that could be ask, who told you this or taught you this?

I believe that even Jesus Christ is the Lord God Almighty, and I don’t believe in the trinity.

Just wanted to share what God looks like.

Here is some questions for you, if Jesus was 100% God.

If Jesus was the Father, then why didn’t Jesus know everything if he went to the synagogues to learn ?

If Jesus was the Father then why was he tempted by Satan if the Father can not be tempted?


Do believe God was with us when it comes to Jesus Christ and him being named Emmanuel. For it means God with us, but was Jesus the Man of Nazareth Fully God?

Or was God fully in Him by the spirit when John baptized Him in the river and Jesus was the expression of God by the essence of Gods spirit inside of the man Jesus Christ Flesh?

Whenever I see it written that God is invisible I understand it as mankind cannot see God, because it would destroy us, as we are now.
I believe that God has form because in Genesis says "Let us make man in our image."

 

[Garee]

Whenever I see it written that God is invisible I understand it as mankind cannot see God, because it would destroy us, as we are now.
I believe that God has form because in Genesis says "Let us make man in our image."

Image is like likeness (character ). Not a mirror image as water reflects fleshly face .

God is not a man as us. But rather he bestowed special honor unto humankind, which He did not confer unto the rest of creation. Mankind, one creation reckoned by two attributes Father and Son.. . Husband and wife.

Ephesians 5:23For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

In that way we do not attribute the work of His hands as a will to those sent with the power of His word. The gospel as spiritual words alone is the unseen power of the Holy Spirit that works in a believer to both will and perform the pleasure of God not seen

The other kind of idea establishes the foundation of Greek mythology “a work of human imagination”. Out of sight out of mind no unseen faith as it is written needed.

We see God face to face. . or faith (trust) to the same faith through the knowledge he has given us as it is written . We serve one God not many as apostles (many gods) in the likeness or image of men.

The gospel preached is the power of God not seen .

Acts14:7-12 And there they preached the gospel. And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked: The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.

This shows they did not mix faith in the things they did see .The foundation of Pagainism out of sight (no faith) No God in their heart .

 

[Cosia]

Thank you Garee for sharing that.
It is interesting to read your belief.
Blessings to you.

I would add. God is Spirit the father of all spirit life.. The whole creations moans in that way longing to be clothed as it was in the beginnig the incorruptible when the glory of God was the light 3 days and nights . The letter of the law. . "thou shal surely die"(death) when violates it took away the sting of death. Mankind became like lepers no spiritual pain . Truly dead in their trespasses without the eternal Spirit of God in this life..

The etrenal Spirit as that not subject to the law of death was propmised to those in whom God had favor on empowering them to belive in a God not seen. . begining with Abel the first martyr.

Day four the whole creation was corrupted the incoruptible glory of God had left. . When the day Cain slew his brother came as the first murder of the father of lies working in Cain as spoken of in John .

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

When the mark of Cain came .Then God changed the already corrupted creation giving mankind a dying suffering that they could not bear. Only those like Abel yoked with Christ did receive rest and a future promise.In that sence we increated the coruption to make the work unbearable to those not yoked with the Spirit of Christ

Genesis 4: 12-13 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

Again those in Christ do bear it strenthened with Christ.

 

[Lanolin]

John 4:24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth."
Hebrews 12:29 for our "God is a consuming fire."
1 John 4:8 But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

We are all corrupted human beings, and no one is righteous. According to Romans Chapter 3.

Without Christ Jesus, Mans effort of being Good, and being good enough to make it into Heaven based on their merits and looking at God as a man and would be accepting of them. This view is untrue. It is heartbreaking really....

Christ Jesus was the only righteous one that lived on this earth, who is the one whom all should place their faith in to allow us to be save to the kingdom of God. Us as human beings are not good but God is. God was good enough to see us as important and loved us enough to send his son Jesus Christ to pay for all the sin of the world.

That when we look on the Lord Jesus Christ, we are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus by his righteousness and not us.

Never about what we do, or anything, if you produce works it is out of Love for God an the Lord Jesus Christ. It is love towards Jesus Christ an his way, and not what we as human beings look to in saying what is good and what is not good.

Jesus Christ is the one to look towards.


Now with all this being said, What does God look like?

From my understanding a beam of the brightest white light, that is spirit, that is a consuming fire, and that is Love is what God looks like.

This God that is a consuming fire that burns so bright can blind you, destroy you, or light can help you see, and cleanse the darkness out of you is a terrifying image to behold before in front of God who sees and knows we are all sinful, and we all needed a saviour.

That Saviour is the Lord Jesus Christ... Who died, and was risen again by God.

Are you asking us what God the Father looks like or, just answering your own question since most of us have only seen a glimpse of God's glory. We can't yet see God face to face because we aren't in heaven yet.

We can see what His son looks like, most of us can visualise who Jesus is. There are descriptions in the Bible about his physical appearance, but that wasn't the be all and end all of Him.

Hello Lanolin,

You ask this question are you asking what God the Father looks like, or just answering your own question?

Am answering the question with the scriptures and what God is and what is possible for God to look like. And others can add in their own thoughts of whatever they may desire.

Thank you for your comment, and question.
