To find out what God looks like, you need to decide what it is? Each has its own concept and definition. It is known that the meanings of all the terms and words that we use cannot be precisely defined. It is for this reason that it is impossible to come to the concept of absolute truth with the help of rational thinking. This, of course, is an epistemological approach to the definition of God.

However, he has the right to exist. But no one will deny that this concept is absolute. And if so, then before discussing what God looks like, let's first "eliminate" all the gods and idols, which from a Christian point of view are fallen angels.

The fact that all the spirits of shamans or Voodoo casters are demons, a true Christian has no doubts. About Allah it will be somewhat more difficult to explain, but the difficulty is not that there is not enough data. It's just that it's very difficult to enter into a dialogue with radical Muslims. But there is no doubt about the Most Holy Trinity: it is often believed that this is He. There is objective evidence that gives a positive answer to the question "is there a God?" We will talk about them below.

Now that we have decided whothere is a God, it would be nice to know, but has anyone seen him? It is important. After all, only from the descriptions can you find out what God looks like. In the Bible, you can read about this in the Book of Numbers. But already the Evangelist John notices that it was not God, but the image of God's Glory. What about Jesus?

Christ is a separate issue. In his image there was a merging of two natures of nature - Divine and human. But this process was extremely interesting. According to the teachings of the Council of 451, which took place in Chalcedon, this merger was "non-confluent, unchanging, inseparable, inseparable." But, be that as it may, and Christ himself, to the requests of the apostles to show them God, answered that he who saw Me saw the Father (from John ch. 14 st. 8-11).

So, in order to find out what God looks like, you need to look at the icon "The Savior Not Made by Hands". It should be noted that this is a very shaky understanding of such a deep issue. Agree that it is impossible to describe metaphysical concepts in ordinary material terms. How, for example, can you explain to a person who has not been born with a sense of smell, what is the aroma of a flowering apple tree? No way! You just have to smell it.

Thus, to understand what God looks like, you just need to see him. It's not difficult, there are even proven ways. The very first one was described in the Gospel of Matthew: “The pure in heart will see the Lord God.”

But this is a statement of theological truths, but what do scientists say about God? Does he exist or not? "Real" scientists say that it is impossible to prove the absence of God. However, the whole world around us testifies to its existence. Soit is subtly and scrupulously arranged that the slightest deviation of any fundamental component would make it impossible for our planet and the entire Universe to arise. Of those scientists who are world famous and openly admit that there is a God, we can cite the following: Copernicus, Pascal, Newton, Galvani, Lomonosov, Mendeleev, Pavlov, Ampère, Volt, Mendel, Kovalevskaya, Filatov, Schrödinger, Broyle, Towns.

By the way, one should not think that everything that exists can be seen. Do you want an example? Here, for example, is the mind of the one who reads this. Did you contemplate it? Don't be fooled, you haven't seen him. But this does not mean that there is no mind. Circumstantial evidence is often stronger than direct evidence.
