I assume that is God with a capital "G".

God is a spirit (John 4:24), and so His appearance is not like anything we can describe.  Exodus 33:20 tells us, “You cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.” As sinful human beings, we are incapable of seeing God in all His glory.  We cannot even begin to imagine what God looks like as it's too glorious for us mere, sinful mortals to perceive.

The Bible describes God appearing to people on various occasions. These instances should not be understood as describing exactly what God looks like, but rather as God revealing Himself to us in a way that we can understand. What God looks like is beyond our capability of understanding and describing. God gives glimpses of what He looks like to teach us truths about Himself, not necessarily so that we can have an image of Him in our minds. Two passages that powerfully describe God’s amazing appearance are Ezekiel 1:26-28 and Revelation 1:14-16.  These passages represent Ezekiel’s and John’s best attempts at describing the appearance of God. They had to use symbolic language to describe that for which human language has no words; i.e., “what appeared like,” “like the appearance,” “he looked like,” etc. We do know that when we are in heaven, “we shall see Him as He is” (1 John 3:3). Sin will be no more, and we will be able to perceive God in all His glory.

a-sassy-black-lady : In my religion, we cannot represent God. I don't wanna imagine him. According to my religion ( Or according to the Quran) they say that God doesn't have a look. God is God. I'm not offending those who are Christians, but this is what we think.

greenluigi : True, our religion does state that His appearance is unknown... And so do the others, dummy ! They're just asking you to use your imagination, and if you don't want to, ya 7eebs, then just don't ^.^". 

Interesting question!

Well, I've never really tried to imagine Him before, but I feel like He actually IS invisible... Kind of. I imagine God as love, and love is everywhere, so so is He . That's just my view, however, and everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion!

Again, great question. I like this thread .
