Good day, my brothers and sisters in christ. Firstly I wish you find more grace in this period if lent.


OK, during my morning devotion, this taught keep bombarding my mind. Whether God is black or white in color.

Also is the devil black or white in color, most times the devil is portrayed as black and that explains the deep rooted hatred for black skin.

I want your opinion on this. Happy Sunday and stay blessed IJN

Neither.

Those "color schematics" are used to portray the "presence of light" and "absence of light" respectively. The natural human color of emitting light is "white" and its inverse is "black". So for a "painter", it's easier to depict God as "white" and the devil, supposedly, due to his existence in hell fire and his absolute darkness as "black".


It bears a semblance on the symbolic state of both. God is holy and light unapproachable while the devil has lost his state and has been, presumably, burnt by the fires of hell, hence the soot like, eerie black used for him. Apart from this, his lifestyle is "dark" as well. Might as well, portray him using his personality—absolute darkness (black)😮‍💨.

In "reality" 👀, they are different👀 from what depicted.

God is for everyone and not for specific set of people and neither did He reveal himself to any specific set of people and tasked them with spreading his words like most Abrahamic religions believe........anyone who believes in such have been caught up in a well crafted scheme of which the schemer(s) have ulterior motives to achieve with such schemes.

In most cases questions misrepresents what exactly people have in mind so are you asking for the skin color of Jesus or God Almighty?🤔

I mean God as a supreme being, God as the maker of the universe. There is something about color that baffles me.

If the supreme being is angelic and humans look like him.


Are you not curious on their appearance.

They have nothing to do with appearance their attitude determines not looks so God doesn't have anything to do with skin color!
