I don't know who first came up with the exact expression "God with skin on," but the idea has its origins in the New Testament: John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (Jesus as the the "Word" who was God) John 1:14 "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us." (God "put some skin on") 1 Corinthians 12:27 "Now you [the members of the church] are Christ's body, and individually parts of it." (Each believer is now to act as "God with skin on.") The idea of a continuing incarnation of God ("God with skin on") is therefore one that is rooted in the beginnings of Christianity, and the phrase "God with skin on" is just a current and straightforward expression of that theological concept in a way that even a child can understand.

What did God say about blackman will president in the bible?
A) God said nothing in the bible which refers to the United States of America - that country wasn't known about when the God of the bible was speaking to his people. B) The God of the bible said nothing to his people about black people. C) God said nothing about Presidents - that political position wasn't known about when the God of the bible was speaking to his people. So, to answer the question - God said nothing about a blackman, the presidency and America. Actually The Bible says: "Can the Ethiopian change his skin?" That refers to black people. No, it refers to Ethiopians - who happen to be black. Other black people were known then - the Nubians, for example - so if God wanted to refer to skin colour, he could have, but he didn't. Not even in the minds of the translators of the middle ages, who would have known "black" in the meaning the question asks of.
