do we see colors differently than god does?

think what was meant was..\ndo people all see things the same\nand i would say no\nwhat something looks like to me could probably and probably is seen completely different to you.  you probably see colors i could never imagine, and vice versa.

we are created in the image and likeness of god..but what is an image?   if you look in a mirror, you see an image... or if you look in clear water you can see yourself.... what you see you cannot touch because it is not physical.... it is a image made of rays of light relected off the mirror or shiny surface....when we  were made inGod's image, he took his light and formed our spirits.....and put that into a physical body... that made us different from the animals who had bodies but no spirit. EVen though all creation demonstrates god's glory, only man can "reflect back" his exact image in our spirits.

the color blue reminds me of the wonderful blue sky and that feeling i get when I stare up at it!  Gods love surrounds me like a blanket and every day I see nothing but blue in the sky it only reminds me of the fact that His love is as far as I can see and imagine!

The search for the explanation of what we observe.

It doesn't mean we are created in his actual physical form, it refers more to our very existence, or our spirit. Parts of us hint at what God is like, but of course because of sin we are a stained image.

Yes! Of course here in the UK it is not always 'blue' below the clouds! \n\nThe reason for the sky being blue is that as light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air. \n\nHowever, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue. \n\nTo get a fuller explanation (if you can bear it!) see the link below.\n\nGood question!\n\nx

The Bible tells us Who. Science tries to tell us how (& there are many "hows" that science has figured out). Evolution is just a theory (not a proven fact), it is PoliticallyCorrect (so it is probably theologically wrong) - but it is an attempt to explain how God may have designed His creation.\n\nIn any event, the speculation is not worth much time or worry - it is not a criteria for God's Salvation by His Grace based on true faith (acceptance of His Salvation & acceptance of His Lordship, to be a disciple to seek to do His will). Scriptural fact:\n\nTrue Faith + God's Grace = His Salvation\n\nEvolution (or any other process of creation) is not a belief factor in the equation for Salvation. It doesn't matter if you think green is the prettiest color, or if you think orange is the prettiest color, or some other color - that is not a factor in God's Salvation, either. 'Faith + Grace = Salvation' is a time-tested formula - since Abraham - & it still works the SAME way. Because God is unchanging, His Word is unchanging, His Law is unchanging, His Salvation is unchanging.

If god created us in his image ? He must have been pretty confused . He did not get it right as we are all different.Most of us are ugly and decrepit and crazy Maybe that's why there are so many gods and religions ? Man a god like creature. NEVER

For the sake of expediency I am re-posting this answer which was formulated to the question of "Black Jesus?" a few days ago. It was voted best answer, so it may have relevance.\n\n\nI have a close friend who is charismatic, messianic and fanatic who claims to have seen Jesus as a elderly, black man in Key West a few years ago. Of course, he also claims on another occasion to have seen the Father as well, which isn't possible. Can any one say "Angel of light"?\nI think that Jesus( apart from His manifested glory) will be very similar in appearance as He was while on this earth because His disciples recognized Him after the Resurrection-well at least after He opened their unbelieving eyes. He won't appear as a blue eyed, light completion, gentile as our artist have depicted Him or as a black man, or Oriental, or WASP. My hunch is He will probably be darker skinned than we picture Him in our minds. A final thought: be careful of those images which you form with your imagination, they are only one very small step away from idolatry. We are to pray to our Father in Heaven, not to the image of Christ we hold in our minds.

No. God createth and God taketh away. If you're going look at everything from a human or modern perspective, you'll run into much error.

Think of things this way,,my seminarian taught me this,,three men are seated at a fire each at a different point in the circle of flame. One sees wonderful colors that are without names,another sees the brightness and feels the heat and the last watches the embers burst into the air in all their colors. Each sees the fire,but all see it differently.The same way we all see God.

I don't think so.  It is a perception like sight and hearing.\nAre our five senses from the devil?  I think not.

God is a little "bigger" than we are. We don't understand everything about Him and most of us go through life recognizing that there are things that our human minds cannot comprehend. We just accept the simple teaching of the Bible and wait until we will see clearly as I Cor 13 tells us,"12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.

Theoretically, as it is said in the article, it is possible.\n \nLet me explain how we can "see", our eyes have the ability to recognize objects through light. And light, as you already well know I assume, is composed of 7 colors:\nRed\nOrange\nYellow\nGreen\nBlue\nIndigo\nViolet\nIt is known as the ROYGBIV or the spectrum. When light strikes through an object, in this case we will set an example of a blue object, all the other colors are absorbed by the object except for the color blue causing it to strike away to that object. And then it enters our eyes and our brain will interpret is as such.\n\nNow if all of the colors are absorbed, then no light will enter and we see it as black. If all colors are strikes away towards our eyes then wee see it as white. \n\nIt is said in the article that they are gonna use gadgets that will steer light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation AROUND the "cloak" and not to bounce back to our eyes causing it not to have any color at all, not even black nor white. What is that? It is indeed invisible.

Oh my goodness, your hallucination proves that a god exists???\n\nPardon me while I beg to differ.

A belief in God allows you the privilege of believing the book. It is not the other way around as your Question would seem. Once god allows you to believe you will understand why the bible is soooooooo special. Here is part of an article I wrote for my local paper maybe it will help!?\n\nIt’s hard to see when your blind!\nScriptures for thought 1 Corn 2:14 & 2 Corn 4:4\n\nNeither myself nor any other human being has the ability to pursued, convince or other wise manipulate any other human being into a saving knowledge of Christ. There simply is nothing I can say, no act I can perform, that will fully allow you to understand what I KNOW to be true. I may be able to help you understand some things about God but I can’t make you KNOW him. This knowledge is a gift given by God, on his on accord, for his purpose and by his prerogative. Please understand that my saving knowledge or unquestionable trust in the bible is not a thought or an idea I decided or convinced myself into believing. The only reason I can believe what I KNOW is because God lets me KNOW. Period.  Water is wet, fire is hot and God is God.\n\nTry this analogy out.\nHypothetically imagine being born completely physically blind. You have never seen a single color, not a one. Nothing but total, empty, blackness. Now you ask me "what color is pink"? What could I possibly say to make you completely and accurately understand what color pink is? You can’t physically touch or feel color. You would be forced to either allow your imagination to take my descriptive words that you have no basis of context to compare them to and create and imaginary idea of what color pink is or you will concede that it is impossible to know what color pink is having never seen a single color of any kind in your whole life. Or…. Take little 2yr old Johnny and a hot stove as an example. Don’t you touch that stove little Johnny, it’s very hot and it’s going to burn you. But little Johnny doesn’t yet know hot or burn. I can futility try to explain to him what hot and burn are but until he experiences the realities of hot and burn he has no real context to understand them. Ah but after he grabs that hot stove…If eyesight were given to the blind. Now they would KNOW. Now they can understand the things we tried to explain with words. They now have first hand experiential knowledge that completely changes their perspective. This is kind of how a saving knowledge of Christ works. We are all totally blind and absolutely cannot know saving grace until he allows us to see him. He is the only physician in existence that can heal our spiritual blindness. There are no glasses to help, no magic word I can tell you. No, the faith to believe is a merciful gift of god. Now certainty we can and must teach each other things about God, which we can choose to, accept or reject, but teachings about god alone cannot make you completely and savingly, know God. When and to whom God allows himself to be seen is one of the beautiful mysteries that belongs exclusively to God. It is knowledge that only he posses.\nI understand this probably sounds a little weird and if deep thought is applied it may even sound terribly scary. Let me encourage you friends, don’t despair. There is hope. I know first hand. I wandered though this world blind as a bat for the first 29 of the 33 years I was alive. In the infamous song Amazing Grace “I once was blind but now can see”. Now, if you find yourself saying this is all a bunch of bullarkey….. then maybe next time my friend. But to all of you who are struck with deep curiosity and find yourself thinking; could this be true? I must know more. I want to see.  Knock and the door will be opened, Ask and you will receive. Call on the name of the Lord and you will be saved. Pick up a bible and read it with the desire to understand the words, instead of looking for ways to ridicule them. Enjoy they peace and comfort that only Jesus can give your soul.\n\n\nLes

Blessed is he who has not seen and yet believes!\n\nYou pour yourself a pitcher of water.  To make this pitcher of water, you make ice water dyed yellow, boiling water died blue, and clear room temperature water.  \n\nThe blue water goes in first.  Then carefully, tilting the pitcher, pour the clear water down one side.  Then, still tilting, pour in the icewater.  You will only have a couple of minutes to observe.  \n\nIf you look at things through the pitcher sideways, parts are normal, parts are yellow and parts are blue.  If you pick it up and look through the top or bottom, everything is green.  It is still only one pitcher of water, yet depending on how you look at it, things seem different, but yet remain the same.  That is about as close as our finite minds will ever come in this lifetime to comprehending an infinite God.
