The first time God is described in The Bible as appearing in the form of a human is Genesis 3:8, when God walked in the cool of the day. Another example is Genesis chapter 32, which describes Jacob Wrestling with a man generally assumed to be God.

The anthropomorphic God with these human characteristics was generally written about by the source now known as the Yahwist. His near-contemporary, the Elohist, described a God people could never look at, so he typically came in dreams or visions, but sometimes in the form of a cloud or a flame. Genesis includes material from both these sources, as well as the Deuteronomist and the Priestly Source.

Is being protestant a bad thing?

Not at all. Protestantism is just another sect of Christianity. They reject the notion that divine authority is channeled through one particular human institution or person such as the Roman Catholic pope. Protestants look elsewhere for the authority of their faith. Most of them stress the Bible - the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament - as the source and the norm of their teaching. I hope this helps.
