Why does god have white skin?

And there's the whole "Stolen Zeus' style" thing going on...

Because he was created by white people?

I think it's pretty much a fact that Jesus had skin ranging from light brown to dark brown, since that's generally the common skin color palette for Middle Eastern people. Going by the Christian theory of the Holy Trinity, then God sent himself down to Earth and was born through a woman. Without questioning his omnipotence let's say he had no control over his genetic traits or anything like that. Assuming that both what evolutionary studies have shown us are true and that God created us in his own image, then it would make the most sense to assume God has black skin, since I believe the earliest humanoids for example the Homo erectus were black skinned. Of course if he didn't care for those and had a deliberate plan to specifically "create" only the esoteric race of people in his own image, then it's not far fetched to say God had Middle Eastern skin.

However I don't really believe in any of that. If a god exists, I don't think he has a form at all. What evolution has taught us directly contradicts the idea that "God" even created humans specifically. In my opinion, the human race really needs to get over itself. We are in no way special. Perhaps only one way; we have an advanced brain and are capable of many things that give us the upper hand in nature. That's my take on the issue at least.

[QUOTE="mfp16"][QUOTE="Xx_Hopeless_xX"]Actually that's a very complex subject....one would have to be schooled in theology to be able to explain it sufficiently..as Catholics are taught they are three beings one God...so the three make up the one but they're different..Xx_Hopeless_xX

Um... how do you know that?

He can change to any form he wants, he's god :D

[QUOTE="mfp16"][QUOTE="Xx_Hopeless_xX"]Well congratulations...as i said..it's complex..and i don't have sufficient knowledge in regards to theology to explain it in a way that would make sense..Xx_Hopeless_xX

[QUOTE="mfp16"][QUOTE="Xx_Hopeless_xX"]Those who have more knowledge in regards to this subject probably could...Xx_Hopeless_xX

[QUOTE="Xx_Hopeless_xX"][QUOTE="mfp16"] I have to disagree... taking what is a faulty premise on it's face and trying to twist it into something else else using semantics isn't going to change it's originally faulty premise. mfp16

[QUOTE="mfp16"][QUOTE="Xx_Hopeless_xX"] I don't see how it's faulty...it's complex yes..but it can be understood...i'm just not the right person to explain it..Xx_Hopeless_xX

so... chrisitians are monotheists, but the trinity isn't one person? How exactly does that work?

You only have two choices here, they are one god, the same being, or they are different gods. There is no middle ground. Using semantics is not going to solve the problem.

[QUOTE="Xx_Hopeless_xX"][QUOTE="mfp16"]As another poster said "That doesn't mean they take the same form...."..and they aren't literally one person... ahh... so it's not faulty, but you can't explain why... how convenient mfp16

The only time I said he was White was in response to another user saying he was white. Snipes_2

Well, She had Joseph to watch over her. I don't know how they had white skin, they just did. Snipes_2

Middle Eastern I think he had Light Skin, Look at Mary for example.Snipes_2

just because you have never heard of it doesn't mean it is made up..go look it up on dictionary.com..

I'm well aware of them term... it was developed so Christians could get away with having three gods and not being called polytheists. It's the same thing with "macro evolution", theists make up a term to avoid an uncomfortable truth...

[QUOTE="mfp16"][QUOTE="Xx_Hopeless_xX"] They are three persons, one God...as in they are all one..yet not all one..and Christians are Trinitarians... God is the Father, the One and Only God Jesus is the Son of God In Christianity, the Holy Spirit (or Holy Ghost) is the Spirit of GodLJS9502_basic

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]

[QUOTE="mfp16"] Trinitarians? You can't make up a new word just to avoid polytheism, Yes or No, was Jesus a god?mfp16

Aren't all physical avatars of God forbidden?-eddy-
