Is it Reasonable to believe God is Transgender?

[9-10ths_Penguin]

This is true, but so is duality and world identities. The highest religious truth is a story, not propositions.

IOW, "even there's no male and female, cisgender people are valid and transgender people aren't."

I’m about moving people forward in the story by pursuing the highest forms of meaning. Changing your bio sex through chemicals and/or surgical procedures doesn’t do that.

No, you aren't. You're selling hate.

Hate puffed up with pompousness, but still hate.

Indeed, God is the eternal holy spirit. That doesn’t negate that he is also fully human. Not just became human, is human.. from the beginning.

This is an important idea to know. When two stories merge, they merge completely into one. This means if you will become one with Christ at any point in the future, then you are one with Christ right now. If two stories will merge in the future, then they are merged in the present (and past) as well.

This isn’t some hypothetical riddle. It’s how reality actually works.

That’s not my perspective, nor is or was God human from the beginning.

It’s the truth of Christianity. Jesus was fully human, not an imposter. The two stories became one. Now are one.

The story of Mary’s virgin birth illustrates this truth. Two birth stories are now one.

Again, I am not disputing this truth about Jesus. I don’t know what you are referring to concerning “two” birth stories though.

When a human becomes one with God, God now has a human story including a human birth story. When a human becomes one with God, that human now has a God, virgin, birth story (born again). Those two birth stories are illustrated in Mary’s story.

Thanks for explaining your thoughts on the subject. Interesting, but that’s not how I see it, or not what I think lines up with the biblical scriptures or my own born again experience.
I really don’t have any desire to argue about this with you, though.

Someone's probably already beat me to the punch with this, but: Isn't "non-association" with a gender, as is presumably the case with God, the very definition of "trans"-gender. "Trans-"... a Greek prefix... meaning "across"... sometimes with an implicit "beyond." If "transgender" means "beyond gender"... wouldn't then God qualify as transgender?

No. Non-gender is not pan-gender.

There is plenty of overlap with the transgender identity and Christianity, such as the idea that you’re out of alignment with the ideal. However, the biggest “sin” of the trans community is looking to psychiatrists, gender specialists, and surgeons to perfect you instead of Christ.

You are indulging in a stereotype of the trans community in order to indulge in a false empathy.
Also, there is no sin.

No. Non-gender is not pan-gender.

I didn't say "pangender." We don't need to suppose pangenderism to describe a supposed God. We just need to say, "God is neither male nor female." If we are created in [his] image, aren't we that too?

It's not about our genitals. Or God's.

Speak for yourself.

I'd rather (creepily) focus on genitals.

Especially God's genitals.
