The verse is...
" 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."
Do you honestly believe Christ is advocating castration?
Or is He urging compassion for those who were either born deformed or injured by other men such as those young boys Rome castrated for its cathedral choirs?
Rome always manages to rationalize evil and call it good.
Certainly I have, but I do not take or eschew action from the likes of you.

Do you honestly believe Christ is advocating castration?
Did I ever say castration? I said celibacy. And yes, I believe that Christ advocates celibacy for those who are able to receive it in the service of Almighty God. Those are the verses. How can you deny them?

Isaiah 5: 20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil, who change darkness into light, and light into darkness, who change bitter into sweet, and sweet into bitter! 21 Woe to those who are wise in their own sight, and prudent in their own esteem!
Woe to the Reformed, smug and self-absorbed and preaching to all that they are the chosen ones, going on that chosen limousine ride and sneering at everyone else that they pronounce are going to hell. How does it feel passing judgement to hell on other human beings? Evil? Good? Let the Reformed call Mother Teresa for hell and let them say that Machen is predestined for salvation. I have an idea where Las Vegas bookmakers would go, based upon the Gospel of Jesus Christ and not the musings of Machen or the claptrap of Calvin.
