Type 2 Eunuch

Jesus said its not for everyone to marry. He listed these as Eunuchs.

According to Jesus there are three types of Eunuchs (mathew 19:12)

1.Those born eunuch from the womb
2.those made eunuch by men
3.those who make themselves eunuch for the sake of the faith

What then is an Eunuch exactly?
Websters dictionary -
1
: a castrated man placed in charge of a harem or employed as a chamberlain in a palace
2
: a man or boy deprived of the testes or external genitals
3
: one that lacks virility or power <political eunuchs>

What then of a type 2 Eunuch? This might be a post op transexual, castrated by men, and forced to take female hormones for life.

The difference is, the post op transexual was given a choice, they were not born that way. They chose to make themselves (or should I say try) to make themselves into the other sex. This is going against the choice God made for them. The schizophrenic comes out of the womb different. Perceives life and reality different.

A transexual is an effeminate man. What does the bible say about the effeminate? 1 corinthians 6:9 "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,"

I don't see this so much as a command but as a truth. There are many out there that use this verse in a very condemning old testament militant way. The truth is that Satan will not enter in the gates of heaven. Effeminate is satanic energy and perversion. Homosexuals, Lesbians, Transexuals, have their ideals perverted by the devil. Any spirit filled, born again christian, will not have this same perversion in them. Thus they will have a non perverted heart.

There are many such as Westboro that use the old testament to condemn homosexuals, lesbians, and transexuals. (Leviticus 20:19, Deuteronomy 22:5,)

But can a homosexual, lesbian, or transexual, be saved by Jesus Christ?

One can do a simple youtube search and find many testimonials of homosexuals, lesbians, and transexuals who were saved by Jesus, and they turned from their ways. Jesus gave them a new heart. A non perverted heart. The holy spirit tells you these three things are wrong. But one without the spirit, is still thinking and judging carnally. They do not see that they are doing anything wrong. There are many that call themselves christians that are homosexual, and show no interest in turning from their lifestyle. Are they really saved?

But one must be very careful here...

There are many out there attacked by groups like westboro, who use "eunuch" like a trump card and as a means to vindicate their sexually immoral lifestyle.

Are they really born Eunuchs? And are they really saved?




The old testament portrays Eunuchs as those that take care of a harem of women, therefore a man without sexual desire and lust would be desired to be around such large quantities of women.
 
2Ki 20:16 And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD.
2Ki 20:17 Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.
2Ki 20:18 And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.

Dan 1:1 ¶ In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it.
Dan 1:2 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.
Dan 1:3 ¶ And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes;
Dan 1:4 Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.

I read Daniel yesterday and took notes. The master of the eunuchs "Asphenaz" gave the 4 sons of Judah new names. I'm assuming this was their eunuch names. Daniel - Belteshazzar (not to be confused with Belshazzar son of Nebuchadnezzar) , Hananiah - Shadrach, Mishael - Meshach, Azariah - Abednego.
