I agree, why would GOD be in the likeness of an old man?The thing that struck me was the way God is portrayed as an old man in the sky. This is false, as God is spirit. It just strengthens the false idea so many people have about God.

No one can or should draw God. we can say that He gave a Commandment not to make any image of Him, since No man has seen God the father why would we even try, also since people tend to venerate images, a big NO NO in God's eyes,How would you draw God?
Your very sure of yourself
What does Gods spirit look like then?

Exo 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Exo 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Exo 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
i read all and both of yalls repsonses . You your responses were the ones nasty and hate filled .David's Himalayan ego blinds him. I personally despise arrogant people. They're the absolute worst. They never build, they only criticize, attack, condemn, and destroy.
And narcissists ask for feedback, then go ballistic when it’s not 100% positive.David's Himalayan ego blinds him. I personally despise arrogant people. They're the absolute worst. They never build, they only criticize, attack, condemn, and destroy.
yep that is what false love does . It builds more and more hatred towards the truth and those who would speak it .Thanks, but you definitely have an enormous ego and your doctrine that Jesus tortures souls forever says to me that you lack spiritual enlightenment and discernment. I can only conclude that your monolithic ego prevents you from receiving an accurate understanding from the Holy Spirit.
if you draw God witch He himself forbade you commit a sin in GOD's eyes. you are warned. perhaps you should read more of the bible and ask the Holy spirit to guide you, and give you discernment. I assure you it seems innocent to do so but God sees it very differently. to illustrate let make an image of you, a person that I have never seen and tell me of you like it;You lack discernment. You shouldn't be teaching.

I don't think this sort of name-calling is beneficial to anybody else on the forum. With that in mind, I am not going to proceed any more with this conversation.Thanks, but you definitely have an enormous ego and your doctrine that Jesus tortures souls forever says to me that you lack spiritual enlightenment and discernment.

I wouldn't. How could anybody draw a spiritual God?
Not sure of myself, but sure that Jesus said:
(Joh 4:24 NKJV) God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."
Paul refers to Jesus Christ by saying:
(Col 1:15) He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
If God is invisible, He doesn't "look like" anything. We sometimes sing a hymn which starts:
"Immortal, invisible God only wise, in light inaccessible hid from our eyes."

I will no longer share pearls in this toxic community.
The old man in the sky is an artists representation of God. That's fair enough seeing you can't give any other suggestions on how to represent him in a drawing or painting.
The bible also says that God made humans in his image. So there is a very good chance that God looks like a human, even if He is a spirit. So again, it's fair enough to depict God as looking like a human.
God is invisible to us humans but probably no to our spirit. So an artist depicts God as being an old man in the sky. You might have a problem with it but I don't

Don't ever defy David. His knowledge and understanding is infallible. David is the greatest Christian of all time and will sit next to God the Father in the Kingdom!
