It appeared to me you were trying to compare God of the bible to Roman god of Jupiter because the artwork looks identical.

I was trying to say God created man. It’s super unlikely God looks identical to a man. God created the universe, space and time as well.

Jesus was the son of God we don’t know what he looks like either we can guess he looked jewish with tanned darkish skin tone. But nobody knows.

It’s why I personally am not a fan of the Catholicism because they worship idols of Mary and pictures of white Jesus. As it’s idolatry.

I understand all that. Relax, don't get on zealot mode :). Doesn't matter what you or the Bible want, believers picture it in their minds. Michelangelo saw it like that.

The note is about that, how belivers imagined their looks.

Point I am making artists can imagine what they wish.

Doesn’t mean it’s what god looked like.

If I was going to visualise the Most High.

I would probably depict God as old wise strong man with white beard. As God of the bible is characterised his wisdom and strength.

Exactly, even you do it 🫂 . Bible or priests views on its looks are irrelevant when you're alone wondering in your mind...

And that's how most view it, like you.

I said “if” I had to.

No need to put words in my mouth.

The "if" already happened, last time just now :).

I don’t worship an image though.

I pray and worship the Most High. I don’t need images. I just need my consciousness.

So nope.
