No it is not. Jesus was not saying some men castrate themselves for God’s kingdom, which is what your interpretation implies. He was saying that some men voluntarily choose celibacy for God’s kingdom while, for others, it is NOT a choice.
Paul clearly said he had the power to have a wife. This means he was not a eunuch due to a birth defect or something that happened to him. Yet he advocated celibacy for those who could do so without falling into sexual temptation.
Peter commented on Christ’s teachings on marriage and divorce that there was a benefit to never being married. Christ responded that “not all men can receive this saying, but whoever is able to receive it, let him receive it.”
Feel free to share your own beliefs, but stop trying to be an instructor on Christian doctrine when you reject Christian doctrine.
“No it is not. Jesus was not saying some men castrate themselves for God’s kingdom, which is what your interpretation implies.”
Let’s go back to the Instructions For Life (aka Torah, aka the five books of Moses).
Do not to let a eunuch marry into the Jewish people. Deuteronomy 23:2
I said that there is a prohibition in the Torah for a eunuch to marry. That’s all. It could be because of a genetic defect or the individual was forced to become one. Making oneself a eunuch is not allowed under Torah so John the Baptist, Paul, and Elijah would have never done that.
Paul did have a wife and never made himself a eunuch if he was serious about following Torah. The Eyn Sof has made it very, very, VERY clear that Jewish men are supposed to get married. This is not required of women. Paul wouldn’t advocate celibacy for those who weren’t eunuchs nor advocate they make themselves eunuchs because of Torah prohibitions.
We don’t know the question that was posed to him by whatever congregation was asking him in regards to his answer. Is it possible that homosexuals were needing to know how they could serve in a congregation without participating in homosexuality because they made a life change and decided to walk in a more Godly fashion?
Plus, you’d never see him promoting never getting married. The question from the congregation that elicited his answer about the benefits of never being married probably originate from those who aren’t allowed to marry per the Torah or men who don’t want to marry because they can’t bear the thought of doing so (i.e. homosexuals).
