Gods Picture.

A little Boy sat with his colouring pencils and paper, his Mum asked him what he was going to draw, a picture of God Mum, when his Mum answered that nobody knows what God looks like he replied, they will when I finish my picture

Can God be whatever we want him to be ?

Yes God is what God is, and whatever you conceive him to be.

As god is a human creation, it can be wherever you wish it to be.

I don't think God is whatever we want Him to be, because, once again, you put Man above God.

You see through a glass, darkly. But after this you will see Him face to face.
You will know... even as we are known.
1 Corinthians 13:12.

I will always put humans, both female and male, before a god for which there is no verifiable evidence of its existence.

If it exists why doesn't it make it clear to all instead of playing silly beggars?

The image of the invisible God was Jesus, that's far I can go about "seeing" God, the Bible talks a little bit about His appearance.I have no trust for the images we see today of Jesus, they are false.

Isaiah 53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he has no stately form nor splendor; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

Isaiah 52:14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:

The last verse above talks about His appearance after He was scourged... You know the movie The Passion of the Christ? They got it right...

Can we see God in our world? Yes, every single act of love towards your neighbour and not only, it's a representation of the invisible God, it's like seeing God in that act of love.
