I don't believe God has a sex though we understand Him through the title of Father as given by Jesus (as per my signature)Apparently this was a discussion topic today in the high school that I work in. Aha, I thought, there's a notion for the denizens of RF to mull over...
Could God be Non-Binary?

An interesting linguistic philosophical pondering:We've stolen German words before where we were lacking. Might be time to again.
An interesting linguistic philosophical pondering:
Does English steal from German? Can it steal from German since it grew out of it and kept a ton of words?
It is!Sounds like an interesting class!!
Shifty, the lot of em.Phhht...atheists. Probably didn't happen.
In religious texts?Out of curiosity, where would you look for any evidence to support either a yes or no answer?
Or is the expectation that we just stuff up, and construct an intellectual edifice on top of quick-sand, and hope it makes some sort of sense?
So why have you just used the word "he" ?God is spirit. So of course he doesn't have a gender.
John 4:24.
So He doesn't then.God isn't an organic lifeform that reproduces sexually but an omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, etc. being, so the idea that god would have a sex, gender, or any anthropomorphic attributes is silly.
And where did those who wrote the "religious texts" look for their evidence?In religious texts?
Because that's how scripture portrays him, as a Father figure first, but also as a nurturing being. Neither mean he's literally male or female.So why have you just used the word "he" ?
Hmm ok, he's not literally male or female. Sounds a bit non-binary.Because that's how scripture portrays him, as a Father figure first, but also as a nurturing being. Neither mean he's literally male or female.
Dunno. I'm only asking the question.And where did those who wrote the "religious texts" look for their evidence?
I mean he's infinite, and the whole concept of a gender for an infinite being doesn't really compute.Hmm ok, he's not literally male or female. Sounds a bit non-binary.
So why do you use the male pronoun?I mean he's infinite, and the whole concept of a gender for an infinite being doesn't really compute.
I already explained that.So why do you use the male pronoun?
For a human we define human presence by vagina term or penis term.I don't think modern people can define even what is a man or a woman, so it is impossible to call God non-binary, people would have no idea what it could really mean.
Non-binary = umbrella term for gender identities that are not solely male or female—identity that is outside the gender binary. Non-binary identities fall under the transgender umbrella, since non-binary people typically identify with a gender that is different from their assigned sex, though some non-binary people do not consider themselves transgender.
What was the assigned sex of God? Jesus calls him the Father. It has not changed, that is why I would not call God non-binary.
Father = a male parent. Or, one that originates or institutes.
