PLEASE tell me you know the difference between “eunuchs” and “celibates”???!!! Eunuchs have their "accessories" physically removed generally referred to as castration. Celibates abstain from marriage and/ or sexual relations as a matter of choice.

Jesus was speaking figuratively. You don't think he was being literal, do you? If you do, you're making a poor case for Luther's doctrine of Sola Scriptura.
St. Paul also commends celibacy, as Jesus does.
"To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is well for them to remain single as I am. But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to be aflame with passion"
Do "Bible Alone" people read the whole Bible, or just passages that their pastor preaches on?
