“Sick and unnatural.”

Jesus would recommend something sick and unnatural?

Matthew 19:12.

“Jesus never commanded this, thats a Paul thing.

No, that’s a Jesus thing. Again, Matthew 19:12. And the women following Jesus’ recommendation are doing it voluntarily. Get a clue.

Was going to post that verse. Not many folks read nor use Mt19:12 as a teaching. They sort of glaze over it but Jesus taught it. Not for everyone but some women and men do appear to do better being single and asexual.

Nice try, but that was Jesus basically parrying away the Pharisees. He just said oddballs like that don’t go to hell necessarily.
It’s far from him saying people need to be celibate forever. It’s unnatural and it’s a perversion

Matthew 19:12 For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who is able to receive this receive it.”

Jesus saying that it's acceptable for those who wish to do it is NOT Him recommending it.

He's basically just not condemning it.
