Well, in reality no-one fully knows what God is like or what he looks like. Why? Because he is in spirit.
What abilities would God need to be a God? Some common suggestions are: |
| |
 |
To create all living things God would need to be all powerful and without any limitations. He'd need to be able to do anything and everything.
|
|
As a magnificent being God would be far more advanced than us in every way. He would understand us, but we wouldn't be able to fully understand him in the same depth or with the same understanding, no matter how we tried.
|
|
God would be pretty much perfect in every way.
|
|
God would not exist in the physical dimension we live in. It would be too confining. God simply exists in pure spirit, 'I am Who I am'.
|
|
God would have no beginning or end and so time as we understand it would not apply! The closest way to describe this in human terms is by using the word, 'eternal'.
|
|
Everything and everyone would be important to God. He'd love us all perfectly and unconditionally - and never make mistakes. |

"I think God is really nice. I think God would help people if they are dying. I think God would help me if I am hurt."
Cameron, aged 8.
|
"I think God has green eyes and a mouth that looks like an upside down rainbow, and has a halo on his head."
Renne, aged 7.
|
"God has his own little office. When anyone wants to visit him they walk through a little colourful rainbow. I think the surroundings are always sunny."
Georgia, aged 9. |
|
|
"When I think of God, I think of hope - and the best friend you could ever have."
|
"To me, he's everywhere! He is powerful and love personified."
|
"I'm not really sure. How do you describe something which is a Spirit? But I feel that he's there." |
