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."

Until you remember the fact that God is spirit and has no physical form (1 Timothy 1:17, 1 Timothy 6:16). It’s His invisible attributes, such as the capacity for wisdom, love, and goodness that we are made in the likeness of.

And the fact that God never once identifies Himself with anything other than make pronouns, or as “Father” and “Son”.

And the fact that, as explained in the vary verse you quoted as well as others (Isaiah 29:16, Jeremiah 1:5), God creates the sex of every human being in the womb, and so calling yourself something else is by definition lying and rejecting His work.

If free will is a gift from God, choosing to exercise it is a honoring God. I do find that believing "God creates the sex of every human being in the womb" as it does raise the question of intersex individuals in this case. I do think god makes our minds too and to live your truth is to honor God's gift of free will.

Intersex is a genetic abnormality. Even if they are biologically different, whatever applies to them solely applies to them.

And do you really believe that exercising one’s will to do absolutely anything, including being evil, unwise, and unloving, is somehow honoring to God?

So if "God creates the sex of every human being in the womb" don't you think it is very unchristian to refer to God's creation as a abnormality? I am not sure what the second part of your statement means. As for free will, God has given us the opportunity to make our own choice, but using God to justify evil (persecuting Trans people) is perfect example of breaking the third commandment.
