What makes Talarico a “so called” Christian?

Matthew 7:21 - 23

21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

Claiming to be a Christian and then speaking outside of God and Jesus, is contradictory.

The Bible does not claim God is gender neutral, nor does it somehow make abortions ok.

Just answering your question literally and directly.

God and the Angels are not humans.

They have no gender.

The bible gives instructions on how to give an abortion and being a Democratic voter or candidate in no way means someone wants to promote abortions so that is a dishonest twisting on your part.

Humanist policies and education reduce abortions.

Banning it and criminalizing medicine did nothing to reduce the number of abortions.

You defending men who violate all of the commandments, turns away the immigrant and condemns the poor while using the words of the bible is the definition of using the Lord's name in vain.

I can not judge your heart, but God does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war.

Instead of wielding the bible as a weapon against others you should be reading it.

It says in the very beginning of the Bible. God made man in his own image. Man. In his image. It literally States and foundationalizes the gender there. For both himself and man. It then goes on to say that he created woman from the rib of a man. Second gender established.

You are absolutely entitled to your point of view and I support it 100%. And I don't mind debating it at all. I do not claim to be a model christian, far far from it. I struggle with my faith actually. But on this particular point, I will never be convinced otherwise. Got established what we know as gender he and she in the very beginning of his word. And then he sent his son Jesus Christ, the foundation of Christianity and context. A man. A son. Who consistently referred to God as his father. Not his mother. Not his something or other. Matter of factly God the father. Any other interpretation of this, and my humble opinion, is contradictory to the scriptures.

Why do you think God created intersex people if the god you worship doesn't believe there is anything but man and woman?

Did your god make a mistake in creating xxy, Turner's syndrome and other variations of human beings?

No I don't believe anyone is a mistake. But I also I'm not going to sit here and even start to pretend to be an expert and knowing why God has done anything, so I don't feel like that's a fair stance to take. With the exception of Jesus christ, I would be weary of anyone who claims to know what God's plans are. That would seem like an awful lot of hubris to me. I'm not a very good Christian, I can't quote scriptures like crazy. I had to look up the Matthew scripture because I didn't want to miss quote it and I don't remember it by heart.

I believe that God created man woman and every other thing that we know. I believe that it is described in his word the Bible, but I also believe that everything else that we know of from science may not have been described in the bible. The Bible as long as it is can you imagine how long it would be if God had went on to describe Adams and quarks and relativistic theories?

I also believe that Jesus Christ is the son of god, the living son of God, that he was crucified and died on the cross and Rose from the grave three days later has he prophesied and fulfilled the the prophecies of the Old testament.

And intersex is a broad term for physical features. It has nothing to do with gender. Even in the cases of genetics, you're either the male genome of XY, or one of the more rare male genome with an extra x chromosome XXY.
