In Matthew 19:12, what classifies someone as being an eunuch on the account of the heavens ?
Lou Newton, former Steel Mill Crane Designer and Physics Teacher
Matthew 19 NIV
“ 11 Jesus replied, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. 12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.” “
The NIV makes this clear. There are those who chose to live without being married to be able to focus on preaching the gospel of Christ instead of family life.
But notice this is their choice, not something they are pressured to do.
