[QUOTE="grape_of_wrath"][QUOTE="mfp16"] Not in christianity... there is a gigantic "physical avatar" of god on the sistine chapel. Only muslims have that rule with Mohammad I believe, though I'm not 100% sure, I'm only really familiar with christianity.mfp16

"You shall make no sculptures and no pictures of what is in heavens above,and on earth beneath it and of what is in the seas below it" ...grape_of_wrath

[QUOTE="Snipes_2"][QUOTE="grape_of_wrath"] What? If read literally-it prohibits Idolatry and sculpture making completely.When interpreted-it prohibits making,and worshipping, a physical image of anything divine.grape_of_wrath

There are so many interpretations of who/what god is...

It's just like..you know..almost pointless to argue.

[QUOTE="grape_of_wrath"][QUOTE="mfp16"] In ten years of catholic school I have never seen that translation anywhere.mattbbpl

[QUOTE="grape_of_wrath"][QUOTE="Snipes_2"] Yeah, You can Draw pictures and stuff. The Sistine Chapel is a Picture. LJS9502_basic

I'll have to pass on "picking up a bible", I can only tell you what I was taught my catholic priests and nuns. I'm sure that translation is probably a matter of interpretation considering the numbers of sculptures and pictures found in catholic churches. In the end, for me, it's not troubling since I don't subscribe to that notion. I just had never seen that translation before in Catholic studies. When I had to memorize them it was simply "Thou shalt not have any other gods before me"mfp16

Why does he have white skin if there are people not of white skin.

Why choose one race over another?

I'm sure it's been reiterated many times throughout this thread, but God doesn't have skin...

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="grape_of_wrath"] I never said christianity keeps the commandments. Christians seem to ignore the 2nd , 3rd and the 4th commandments,completely....grape_of_wrath

[QUOTE="Snipes_2"][QUOTE="grape_of_wrath"] What? If read literally-it prohibits Idolatry and sculpture making completely.When interpreted-it prohibits making,and worshipping, a physical image of anything divine.grape_of_wrath

The 2nd deals with making an image of god. Which ,If jesus is a part of it, is not being kept. The 3rd deals with the prohibition of naming the explicit name of god. Yehova. I don't recall Christians keeping that one-and in any case- 'The Jehova's witnesses' sect break a commandment every time they name themselves. The 4th deals with the keeping the sabbath-Which christians,plainly, do not do. To be clear -I'm not criticizing anyone. It's just factual that christianity passes on a few commandments.grape_of_wrath

[QUOTE="mattbbpl"][QUOTE="grape_of_wrath"] Are you kidding me? pick up a bible. In fact here is a Wiki quote that I was quick enough to find. 2 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; 3 Do not have any other gods before me. 4 You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject meLJS9502_basic

The appearence of gods are molded into what people want them to look like. It's no coincidence that Hindu gods are often depicted wearing indian clothing and that Hinduism is an indian religion. The mormon church sometimes portrays Jesus as a blonde haired man, which is almost disgustingly dishonest. There's no evidence that Jesus or any other first century jew had silky blonde hair.

If a god is depicted as white, it's because the followers of that God feel most comfortable with him looking like that.

[QUOTE="grape_of_wrath"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] How so?mfp16

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]Uh...has anyone actually seen God to make a determination? BioDogshock

nobody know the real face of jesus all of those depictions are based on the painting's and people say that jesus was Middle Eastern brown skin and brown eyed

[QUOTE="grape_of_wrath"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] How so?Snipes_2

[QUOTE="grape_of_wrath"][QUOTE="Snipes_2"] You're not supposed to take Gods name in Vain. I.e. "God...." There are Christians who are lax, everyone commits sins and disobeys the commandments. It's a matter of doing penance to be forgiven. LJS9502_basic

God is white because he was created by white people, for white people. Notice how he has apparently forgotten about those starving in Africa, so if your not white, it appears that you don't fall under Gods jurisdiction.SeanDog123
