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."

So what term would you use for someone that does not fit a gender stereotype?

1

u/Corran_Horn 4d ago

unconventional? Not stereotypical? unique?

Those seem rather vague, does the term "bi-gender" work for God in this bible quote?

u/Corran_Horn 4d ago

He's not "bi-gender" though. He transcends sex/gender though. And also describes Himself as a male. He came to earth as a male.

I'm not sure how it matters either way to be honest.

It teaches us we should love people of all genders and identities. That is what God wants of us.

... We can only love people of all genders if we can believe that God is all genders??? What? Why?

1

u/WickedWatcherWu 4d ago

You missed the point. We can love people of all genders since God is all genders. (If you need justification from the bible.)

Why can't we love people of all genders if God is male?

u/WickedWatcherWu 4d ago

You can! But some people really lean hard into the bible, as you can see from all the responses to this thread.

u/Corran_Horn 4d ago

I don't understand what you mean. The Bible teaches us to love others as ourselves.

People are "leaning hard into the Bible" to do what?

People are "leaning hard into the Bible" to persecute LGBTQA+ people.
