AMPLIFIED 2015 | Acts 8:27 So he got up and went; and there was an Ethiopian eunuch [a man of great authority], a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship, |
Bible Question: In Acts 8, are we to believe that the Ethiopian Eunoch was a homosexual? Easter Sunday was the first time I have ever heard this opinion, or as I call it "fiction" stated before. |
Bible Answer: A Eunuch is a male who is missing a couple essential "parts" for procreation and served a queen or other high female within a kingdom. The term was also used of high appointed officials in general without the necessary surgery. Could this man have been a homosexual? Exceedingly unlikely and completely disconnected from anything mentioned in the Text. He went to Jerusalem for the festival, so he was either Jewish or a proselyte to Judaism. If he was a true Eunuch in the surgical sense, then he couldn’t have functioned sexually in any direction. Someone is lying. How they managed to do so without laughter bursting out from the pews is the real question. And to do so on Easter Sunday…. How shameful. MJH |
