Non Binary Identification

-
The non binary crowd consists of people who shun labeling their gender as either male or female; instead preferring to speak of themselves with neuter pronouns, for example: it, its, that, they, and them. I'm usually very patient with LGBT, but tend to have no patience whatsoever with non binary folk.

It's a pretty safe bet that humanity's creator regards non gender people as self-made freaks of nature; in other words: non gender people are not of His making because His making was two genders: male and female.

● Gen 1:27 . . God created Man in his own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.

● Matt 19:4 . . Have ye not read, that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female?

If people can't agree with humanity's creator on something as elementary as their gender designations as per Gen 1:27 and Matt 19:4, then I have to assume that they disagree with Him on many other issues far more important than that.

There's a term for people unable to accept themselves as the person they really are. I think it might be called Dissociative Disorder. Political correctness requires that they be "included" but God-honoring Christian churches dare not accept into their official membership roles someone known to be non binary.

● Heb 12:15 . . See to it that no one misses the grace of God, and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.

A bitter root is one belonging to a species unfit for human consumption. When you find noxious vegetation sprouting in your garden, you've got to get out there with a hoe and dig that stuff up before it spreads out of control.

FYI: Heb 12:15 doesn't apply to the world at large. It only applies to the official membership roles of a Christian congregation, i.e. non binary folk can come to church on Sunday and listen to the choir and the pastor's sermon as visitors if they like; no harm in that.

NOTE: Prince Rogers Nelson (a.k.a. Prince the entertainer) at one time decided he didn't want to be known by a name spelled with letters and so created an unpronounceable symbol for himself; but of course he continued to be known as Prince.

Point being: though non binary people wish not to be described as boys and girls and/or men and women and/or males and females, nor referred to by gender-specific pronouns; they are still seen that way by everybody else. The quest to disown their gender is not only a fight against nature and common sense, but also a fight against God. They might succeed in gaining a measure of legal protection; but never in a million years will they gain people's honest respect; which is a very good reason to disqualify non binary folk applying for the office of elder in a Christian church.

● 1Tim 3:7 . . He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the Devil's trap.

A non binary Christian church elder would be seen by the world as a bona fide hypocrite; which can be roughly defined as somebody who should be standing for the Bible but at heart does not care to live by it. With a church officer like that; you couldn't help but wonder where else they've compromised the faith.

● Titus 1:7-9 . . He must be blameless, as the steward of God . . holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught
