Since Dark skin versus Light skin topics are so hot in Nairaland, I decided to have some fun.
We are all created in the image of God, but we're also black, brown, yellow, white, etc.
In that case, what colour do you think God is?
Do you think He is one colour. a combination of colours, or no colour at all?
And if God is one of 'our' colours, then does that make the corresponding race superior to the others???

He is whatever colour you are and whatever gender you are. |

Just as we wonder about different aspects of God's nature, the colour of his skin if it be so, is readily up for speculation.  |

Just as we wonder about different aspects of God's nature, the colour of his skin if it be so, is readily up for speculation. the thing is that just thinking/wondering about it is ok but it always inevitably leads to other thoughts which are blasphemous,thats why i said its boderline blasphemy seeing theres a thin line between an academic discourse and sayn the wrong sturvs, for example the davinci code novel/movie is a fine example of just wondering if leornado da vinci meant this or that,and if isaac newtonmeant this or that and it graduated to theorising diffrent lies,half truths to suit the theories, don't get me wrong im not sum bible hugging fanatic,im a regular dude going clubbn n tha but i just think there are sum sturvs we shouldnt messw with at all, thats why u ll see either a young or old moslem get realli touchy when u say anything that has to do with their religion |

Jesus was a jew, obviously he was not white. He had olive skin, like Jews, Arabs and other Semitic peoples. His mother was not black. It does not make it so because you wish it so. I always thought god was red and pasta like, like the flying ravioli monster. |

I was watching one televagelist on television the other day who was telling his congregation that jesus appeared to him and he painted a graphic image of what he saw, he said the jesus he saw had a very long blonde hair and very shinning bright eyes, so i guess this depiction is enough for some of you to make your conclusions. . . . . . . .

God is colorless, raceless and tribeless. He's spirit. I still can figure out why humans cannot deal with simple colour? It's like people living in white houses against those living in houses painted red.

God is the color of water
I've heard that's a fantastic book. And that is part of the reason that I asked this question. Not because I have a problem with what colour God turns out to be if he has a colour at all, but I want to reconcile people's perception of our racial differences with our perception of God . |

'The Color of Water" has little to do with God, it's about a black boy that has a white mom with 12 other siblings . It's based on family issues and race. It's a very good book, I recommend it  |

It's a very good book, I recommend it I know the book hasn't got that much to do with God but there's a part in the book where someone (I think it was the boy) asks his grandmother what colour God is, since they're black and looked down upon but they're supposed to be made in the image of God like everyone else, and his grandmother, not knowing what to tell him, (because whites control all the general propaganda) tells him that God is the colour of water. Since water is transparent, there is no racial oppression in her description of God. At least that's what I get from it. |
