i mean can he be someone like elvis or ozzy osborne?
Zeus doesn’t come close to the Lord of Israel.
The Lord of Israel is incomparable, all knowing, provider, omnipotent & omnipresent Lord.
He created the Universe, stars, moons, planets, matter, element & everything we see or don’t see today.

Who knows! The Bible clearly states that NOONE has seen the face of God and lived. So I guess they are generating what they feel to be an image that encompasses their heart on God.

Because humans associate wisdom with the elderly and white hair. As both images were created by humans, it is reasonable to expect them to have similar characterisitcs.

Because early Christians were cheap and didn’t want to make all new statues?

that representation of God is a symbol…old man is a symbol for wisdom. God is wise, benevolent, all knowing and all seeing.

Those are merely images of what a patriarchal figure might look like.
No one knows what Jehovah God looks like because he is a spirit. Moses said "no man can see God and live."
