.) hi digsbe.the question is for some othersI'm an evangelical Christian and I don't believe God has a race. Jesus, as the son of God, was born into the Jewish people as prophesied but God is not human and thus doesn't have a "race." He created all races.
you may guess why l am asking it to them.lets discuss..
14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
The basic idea of God as "white" comes from Revelations 1:14
It's one man's vision that has taken on a life of its own.
God isn't one race or another.

Based on that it doesn't follow God is white, just his hair. And old people from any race can have white hair.

he was snowwhite ?:mrgreen:
Medusa, you idiot! He's only half white. God is obviously Scotch-Korean.
Depends on how you read it. "Head and hairs" could very easily be read to indicate white skin and white hair.
And this is why trying to make any kind of decision or learn anything from scripture is bull. Absolute truths should only be able to be "easily read" one way. But they're not because they have nothing to do with anything divine. They're the creations of selfish men who wanted to protect their own power.
To the OP, ultimately, people envision their deities to look like them. African gods looked like Africans. Asian gods look Asian. Indian gods (both American and Hindu), looked like them. White people's gods look like white people. That's why we have centuries of paintings that depict a Middle Eastern Jew as if he were an Italian.
God is not white but he is definitely British.
That's why we don't have Earthquakes in Britain, because you don't crap on your own doorstep.
You can only take from it what you are willing to put into it.

Sure He is. God is a white red blooded American.
