Eunuchs....

[Eye Candy]

Swali mboga sana from this extract in the bible.


10 The disciples said to Jesus, “If the relationship of a man with his wife is like this, it is better not to marry.” 11 But He said to them, “Not all men can accept this statement, but only those to whom [the capacity to receive] it has been given. 12 For there are eunuchs who have been born that way from their mother’s womb [making them incapable of consummating a marriage]; and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men [for royal service]; and there are eunuchs who have made themselves so for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept this, let him accept it.”


Why then did catholic priests and pops.... Not choose to be eunuchs kabisa badala just choosing not to marry.... This could also curb abuse of children... If really they are not marrying for the sake of the kingdom...

There's nothing academic about it, they're just perverts in 'holy' garb.

1 Timothy 4

1 Now the Spirit [a]expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, 3 forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; 5 for it is [b]sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

Eunuch doesn't necessarily mean castrated in this context. It means abstaining kabisa.
From my little knowledge of the RCC, priests are supposed to abstain, that's the doctrine of the church.
Whether they abstain or not is another issue altogether.

Io ndio point....now that most aren't able to abstain... castration should be better

And they start with our very own @Liberty .
The same bible says a castrated man shall not see the kingdom of God. Same with bastards.
Deuteronomy 23:
1 "No man who has been castrated or whose penis has been cut off may be included among the Lord's people.

2 "No one born out of wedlock or any descendant of such a person, even in the tenth generation, may be included among the Lord's people.

I will start reading the bible with seriousness again the day it will...
1. become coherent,
2. rectify its obviously careless mistakes and
3. find a way of telling original, truthful and verifiable stories that are devoid of superstitions.

Actually eunuchs are men who aren't interested in women for any reason.

Eunuch has a precise definition. Under your definition, would a gay man be a Eunuch?

Yes, under my definition a eunuch could be a homosexual/asexual man.

 

[Burner]

Ok, you can use that definitionif you so wish. However if you using a different definition, the conversation wont progress far since most people understand a Eunuch to be this
