Subject: Jesus ..Homosexual to inherit Heaven |
Bible Note: Jesus was the first to recognize sexual outcasts as worthy of God's kingdom. This quote from Matthew is the closest biblical reference we have to our current understanding that homosexuality is a psychological identity, rather than just physical acts."For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother's womb" mthis could only refer to homosexuality. Being born a eunuch means to be born without the pschological ability to be with a woman. to For Christ to have known this in biblical times is a testament to his inspired understanding. Jesus brought a new covenant with God, not only to the children of Israel but to all mankind. It is a covenant of loving your neighbor as yourself, and raising a joyful noise unto the Lord. The communities established by his disciples, who knew and quoted him, accepted all the outcasts of Israel and understood the Genesis account of sex as the gift of companionship as well as procreation. This fulfills the prophecy of the Messiah. In Isaiah 56: 2-8, the eunuch is predicted to inherit a special place in the house of the Lord and the sons of strangers are predicted to take hold of the Lord's covenant. Verse 7 predicts: "Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people." |
