Well you sent me a personal mail threatening to report my posts to you if I didn't delete them. I deleted them . Yet they can still be seen because you quoted them. 

I sent you a personal mail asking you to take down what I thought was an offensive post, instead of simply reporting it, because you are a long time and respected member of this community. I thought it would be better to handle it that way.

My point is: If God only makes male and female, who made me? 

Who are you?  Are you a mass of cells, and tissues , sinew and muscles skin and bones

Or were you created in God's image as a Spiritual being loved and cherished by God.

I am short, old, a little overweight  freckled and what not, but that is not who I am. Who I am , is a child of God

We know the answer to that question, brother. The Lord made me in such a way that I'm on the autistic spectrum and also with a defect of the spine. Never forget Genesis 32, when Jacob wrestled with the Lord. Before God blessed Jacob, he gave him an infirmity in the hip which caused him to walk with a limp for the rest of his life.

Of course God made you, my friend. You are loved!

God made me too. I wonder why he made me this way or if I did it myself. Not very pleasant not knowing and even more so knowing how wrong I am. How do I cope? One day at a time, plowing in hope. I would rather be contrite and find forgiveness than to justify myself.

Well I do Apologize if I have offended you.  God did create male and female.  One of each. Every other human was made from the biological paring of male and female. And some times, from those pairings, things happen, from down syndrome, to birth defects, to inherited diseases, male pattern baldness and yes even physical intersexuality.  But that is not who we are, that is just what we have to deal with. I myself am dealing with issues that I would prefer not to discuss

excuse the following word* but it makes the point

We are not born handicapped* we are only handicapped if we let it rule our lives. Yes things limit somethings we can do...but it does not limit who we are.

Now it is time for you to step up and stop identifying yourself by your condition, but rather as a Child Of God

2 Corinthians 10:5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ

If God has called you his child, you are you or I or anyone to say that God makes junk 

Love you, and I again apologize if I let my head get ahead of my heart (one of my biggest failings)

I'm perfectly ok with who I am.  I just at times feel a need to be a voice for many who are being hated and persecuted and even killed because of the lack of education on this topic. 

Well I needed to hear it, just so I can be more careful stomping around in my combat boots

This thread has run its course. I am going to move it as well.

Its a bit too 'personal' and controversial to be in General Discussions where most newcomers hang out.
