Question
Hello, So I was reading the post about transgender and well though I like how you respond, I got a question. When you told stephanie the verse spoken by jesus, about what the verse means. The first and second matched the definition of a eunuch but the third does not. How can you say the third point "Eunuchs for the sake of heaven" mean differently if you made the definition of a eunuch clear?
thank you
btw youre definition of "transgender" and "Transsexual" is wrong but thank you for your words

Answer
hi Chad, I barely remember the answer you read so it is difficult for me to even remember what you are talking about. I may be wrong in my definition of transgender and transsexual but I honestly don't have much knowledge about them. What I do know is that there are three types of eunuchs...one kind is made by surgery, one kind is born a eunuch, and the last kind CHOOSES to live as a eunuch for the sake of the kingdom of God (like Paul choosing to live celibate all his life so he can devote more attention to serving God). I hope this helps.

Expertise

I can answer questions regarding acceptable worship, organization of the church, or any apsect of the Christian life. I am the son of a preacher and have studied the Bible from cover to cover since I was 12 years old. I am strong in my research skills and do not follow teachings of men. Many will label me as conservative and some might label me as liberal, but I just seek to be biblical. I understand proper exegesis and hermeneutics and apply them. My desire is to share my knowledge of God's Word with others. Please always keep in mind that none of us who are listed as experts here are divinely inspired and therefore it is possible to get incorrect answers from any one of us. Study the Scriptures and decide for yourself if what is taught is true.

Experience

I am the 4th generation in my family to be a faithful member of the church of Christ. I was raised by a preacher and have studied the Bible everyday since I was twelve. I am 45 yrs old now. I am not a "scholar", but I am very familiar with the scriptures.

Organizations
member of the church of Christ, served as a Deacon for a few years at LakeShore church of Christ in Waco, Tx. I currently live in the North Dallas area and am still very active within the church of Christ teaching, leading Bible Studies, and songleading as well. I am also actively involved in online ministry. I hope to open my own webpage eventually.
