First thing is first. Jesus would never abandon or persecute us. He went to the sinner, not push them away. This is something that anyone who reads the Bible should know. If you don’t know that, you need to read the Bible again. I will not quote any scriptures about this, you should already know this.
In the ancient world, including ancient Jewish culture (as reflected in the Talmud), “natural” or “born” eunuchs were not associated with missing testicles. Rather, they were associated with stereotypical effeminate characteristics and behavior (just like modern gay men), and were thought by Rabbi Eliezer to be subject to “cure” (just like modern gays). Moreover, as we have also seen, eunuchs were commonly associated with homosexual desire. (For a complete discussion of the term "born eunuch" and the connection with homosexuality, see The Early Church Welcomed a Gay Man.) As a reasonably informed person of his time, Jesus would have been aware of this common view of eunuchs. Yet he very matter-of-factly asserts that some people are simply born that way. The implication of his statement is profound — God created gay people the way they are! Jesus says so.

Jesus never said anything against being gay, transgender, etc. Instead, it has been found in the Bible that Jesus was around it and approved it.
Matthew 19:12 says, “For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.” (Eunuch is a man who has been castrated.)
“When David had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan lo his father’s house. Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as hived him as his own soul. Saul took him that day and would not let him return to s own soul. Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that he was wearing, and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his belt.” (1 Samuel 18:1-4)
You don’t have to argue anymore. You can all stop it. Your opinion is wrong and how you were raised is due to misunderstanding. You can let God judge if Jesus was wrong or right but I will follow this because it is in the Bible and Bible is Truth.
Oy Vey , can anyone imagine these filthy skypes insulting the child rapist mohammed?
ReplyDeleteBlasphemous. And you really should re read the bible. All of it. And if God is so for being gay then why does he cast them to hell in revelation? Don't be fooled. Really read. And yes he'd never turn you away for being gay but just as any sin.. you must turn from it and cling to him and his righteousness.
