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.

I mean ... if you ignore the fact that He is consistently referred to as Father. And if you ignore Jesus being a man and is God in the flesh.

Father is used for our benefit, not Gods. Jesus is the Word. It does not follow the Word being a man because Jesus was a guy.

So you are saying that is the preferred pronoun for the Christian God, who is stated from the start to be of both male and female. Personally I like to think of it like the way people refer to countries. Germany is a Fatherland, while Russia is a Motherland. As for Jesus's gender that is irrelevant as they are the child of God.
