Do you ever wonder what color and gender God and Jesus are?

As a Gnostic Christian, I believe that God is within each of us, the way Jesus, taught so I see God and Jesus as my color and gender.

Is your mental picture of God and Jesus also seeing them as your color and gender?

@Greatest I am,
Jesus had a prehuman existence as God's first born. See Proverbs ch 8.
So they are both spirits and are referred to as male because of their generative power and the designation makes sense to us.

Jesus was born as a Hebrew, a descendant of Noah's son Shem. He probably looked like any other person of Asia Minor descent.

Hi, yes I do wonder about this from time to time. However, I God is not a person, nor a being or an entity. Instead, he is the force that drives the creation of matter on the planet and the universe to become larger and more complex. Jesus, on the other hand, was obviously a person. He was an exceptionally innocent person evident in the fact that he was extremely righteous and the fact that his mother was also exceptionally innocent.

You could be right but the tribe of Judas says that Jesus was black.

I thought it might be another Christian clean up. So to speak.

There are many black Jews.

If you cannot see God in all, you will not see God at all.

I am pleased that you see God. So do I.

@Greatest I am,
His lineage, according to both Matthew and Luke was through Shem, from whom we get the word Semite.

I have no knowledge of the tribe of Judas. If you are referring to apocryphal works, they are excluded from the canon for a reason.

If you intended to write Judah, Jesus was a descendant of Judah; but I have heard of no evidence asserting Judah was black.

@JohnBaner01,
You continue to use a personal pronoun in reference to your 'force'
It is interesting to note that the Hebrew word most often used for God translates as "He who causes to become. "

There are two sets of genealogies in scriptures and they do not match in numbers or names. One of the many doublets in scriptures. Further, the line was always through males and if Jesus is the son of God then that breaks the male lineage.

This is not surprising if you think Divine Council.

To Jews, the head of that council would speak for God as he is the one would cause all things to become.
