I’ve discussed this over on TGH, but I can’t find a post about it here.

I’m all for understanding how God made you and who He made you to be. I’m also all for standing up to those who want you to be anything different than those things. HOWEVER, “It’s how God made me” and “It’s not how God made me” should never be used to excuse being rude, unloving, or hurtful.

The truth is a lot of what the Bible suggests, expects, and commands of us does not come naturally. We’re selfish and love, generosity and sacrifice don’t mix well with that. It’s not a matter of how God made us, but rather a matter of our fallen sinful self getting in the way of how He made us.

~ Paul – I’m XY, and I know God made to be far more loving than I usually manage to be.
