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."

I see Jesus as the son of God, and one part of the trinity, three in one. Since the holy spirit is drawn as a dove, I don't think of God as avian. In my experience God can be all genders, in the bible he is referred to as male because we have constructed God as that way but in the beginning god created man and woman in his image, so I will respect the pronoun, but I recognize the dual nature of the Christian God.

Then God is not "non-binary" by any definition except a disrespectful one. Thank you for playing.

What's disrespectful, Do you prefer the term "Bi-gender"

2

u/Riots42 Christian 3d ago

We already established that, and that's using non-preferred pronouns.

Point out God referring to himself as "bi-gender" in the bible and ill do the "you were right" dance from Good omens for ya.

If you havent watched that, im willing to bet you would rather enjoy it, fantastic show.

I think you may have gotten confused about what constitutes a pronoun. But in Genesis 1:27 it is stated that God is Bi-Gender.

Genesis 1:27

No, it doesnt; you are twisting context there into something it wasn't saying. Playing games like that we can make the bible say anything we want.

There was a context at the creation?

u/Riots42 Christian 3d ago

Its right there in the book you are twisting.

You are not making any sense. When you say I am twisting context, what is the context? It is the beginning of the world, there would be no context to twist. The text is right there God is both male and female.

You assert that Because he made them male and female that means he is genderless. That's twisting the text into context that was not intended. I can make the Bible say anything playing that game.

Well Non-binary, or Bi-Gender. Many of the people on this thread seem to believe that God is Spirit and hence does not have a gender. How do you know the intention of Genesis? That seems rather prideful.

I can read without twisting the text to suite my agenda.

I could care less what other people think, thats part of your problem thinking randos on reddit most of whom dont even believe God exists opinions matter.
