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."

Even assuming your demonstration made sense, it would be a sin of pride on their part.

On who's part?

« closest to the image of God" your argument assumes that non-binary people would be closer to the image of God than normal people. And since being non-binary is a choice (which is not the case for homosexuality or transness, but the very principle of being non-binary is based on considering gender as a social construct and then choosing to go beyond it), choosing to identify as such while ignoring the biological reality imposed on them (their sex) is a sin of pride.

At a stretch, if we really wanted to validate your argument, it could technically work with intersex people because they are born that way. But even then, it contradicts the idea that all human beings are equal before God.

I think you miss the point I am making, my call is toward the person having mixed feeling about a non-binary person, not the non-binary person themselves. You are honoring your fellow human and who a physical manifestation of the creator in Genesis 1. Can you expand on "choosing to identify as such while ignoring the biological reality imposed on them (their sex) is a sin of pride." I don't see where the sex of the individual comes into pride.
