Bible Note: EU'NUCH, n. (Gr. a bed, and to keep.) A male of the human species castrated. (Webster’s) eunouchizo, yoo-noo-khid’-zo: From G2135; to castrate (figuratively live unmarried): - make . . . eunuch. "And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery." The disciples *said to Him, "If the relationship of the man with his wife is like this, it is better not to marry." But He said to them, "Not all men can accept this statement, but only those to whom it has been given. "For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are also eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept this, let him accept it." (Mat 19:9-12) Firstly, you've taken the word eunuch out of the context, the specific setting of Jesus' teaching in Matthew, so your analysis does not hold scriptural water. Also, a eunuch has been physically altered, either voluntarily or involuntarily. Jesus deliberately qualifies a particular voluntary type as having done so for the kingdom of heaven. What can He mean by “He who is able to accept this, let him accept it”? Is this a preaching on non-judgementalism and universal eligibility for heaven? Can a man who willingly castrates himself through sexual perversion repent and be forgiven? I'd say absolutely, wouldn't you agree? Can a willing homosexual who comes to Jesus, repents and asks forgiveness become a child of God? Yes. (Joh 1:12-13) Psychology is not a physical alteration and, like sin, can be overcome. The bible teaches that practicing homosexuality is sin. Read Romans 1 and 2. Colin |
