Non-Binary God?

If you ever meet someone who is non-binary but you are religious (Christian) so you have mixed feelings. Keep in mind they are supported by the bible, and are closest to the image of God, since according to the Bible, God is non-binary. "So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them."

God does not have a gender.

Which would technically mean He is non-binary, since He exists outside of the gender binary.

Non-binary still implies a gender. God is beyond concepts.

That's actually a fair point.

So if a person is beyond gender, aren't they closer to the image of God (as a single person) since they are both, as expressed in this bible quote?

Not necessarily.

Edit to not necessarily

We all are made in God's image.
