What does God look like?
Forum category
Obviously anybody on this side of eternity will be limited in answering this question. However, I am wondering what God the Father’s form is like. At least some of the things that come to my mind when pondering this are (and maybe not all of these are actually relevant) that we are created in God’s image, that God is a Spirit and so must be worshiped in spirit and in truth, and that God sits on a throne. Does the Bible conclusively depict a form for God the Father?
but I always thought of God as formless, as just light. I think b/c of Revelation (or movies? hee hee)
Revelation 21:22-24 saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God has illumined it, and its lamp is the Lamb. 24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.
Revelation 22:5 nd there will no longer be any night; and they will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will reign forever and ever.

I tend tio think of God as formless on the basis that He fills the whole universe but that He is able to manifest Himself in more concentrated ways as He did with Moses…of course that is only my mental conception but I am sure that He is far more magnificent and totally different from my weak conceptions.
