JESUS, SEX AND CHRISTIANITY
Hugh

The author of Matthew, in Chapter 19, supposedly
recorded Jesus’ own words about castrated men when his teachings on divorce.
“…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. (Matthew 19:12, King James Version)
Based on this verse, which was the words actually spoken
by Jesus according to the New Testament, many believers and even some church
fathers castrated themselves. This was also a custom of the pagan worship of
Cybelle which was popular at the time of the early church. Castration had/has absolutely
no part in Torah Judaism. This verse clearly shows that Matthew, at best, had
only a cursory knowledge of Judaism.
Even if one takes Matthew
The New Testament shows that Jesus, just like Paul,
had sexual hang-ups or perversions. And who wouldn’t call the self-mutilation
of castration a perversion? Sadly, the tone of Matthew’s in Chapter 19 sounds very
much like a Pauline sick sex thought.
There
is no record that Paul was ever married. His painful experience with the
priest’s daughter appears to have soured him against women in general, for Paul
wrote; “It is good for a man not to touch a woman.”
(l Corinthians 7:1). He continues to warn “For I
would that all men were even as myself… It is
good for them if they abide even as
I say therefore to the
unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I. But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to
marry than to burn. (l Corinthians 7:8-9).
Christian partners in marriage are bound to give
each other the “conjugal rights” that each owes to the other:
“The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and
likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife (l
Corinthians 7:4).
Paul also demanded husbands:
“… if thou marry, thou hast
not sinned; and … Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: … But this
I say … they that have wives be as though they had none; (l Corinthians
Perverted? Sick? Yes it is! Remember dear people, Paul is the
so-called author of most of the New Testament books and the missionary founder
of Christianity. Thos who carefully study the New Testament will see that the
religion of Jesus was Judaism! Christianity is merely the invention of Paul or
more properly “Pauline Christology” – a religion about Jesus.
Many of the church fathers showed a deep hostility
to women. This attitude was no doubt affected by the sexual attitude of Paul
and the personal teaching of Jesus in Matthew 19. Tertullian (Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullianus,
born probably about 160 at
Paul approves of marriage as a last resort: "But if they cannot contain, let
them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn." (1
Corinthians 7: 9). These are powerful and telling words – as a last
resort, it is better
to marry than to burn. Paul was so down on women that
he made up his own laws - 1
Corinthians
“A woman is bound to her
husband as long as he
lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes,
but he must
belong to the Lord”. (Whatever this means).
Paul is wrong again! 1 Corinthians
“If a man marries a woman
who becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her,
and he writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from
his house, and if after she leaves his house she becomes the wife of another
man,”
Even Matthew
supposedly recorded Jesus speaking of divorce:
“It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement” (Matthew
Verse
31 in Matthew (Chapter 5 above) agrees with Torah and directly disproves what
Paul wrote. Oh, but Christians follow Paul, not the religion of Jesus.
HOWEVER,
the next verse (32):
Jesus
says “…whosoever
shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to
commit adultery: and whosoever shall
marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
has
nothing to do with God’s Torah. It has Jesus saying that to marry a divorced
woman is a sin worthy of death, (adultery). Exactly who is harmed by such a
marriage? How could such an act harm a god or anyone else and why should it?
Such rules as these found in the Christian Bible (New Testament) are the
products of barbaric, savage, sick and perverted minds. No civilized human
being can honestly say that these are moral teachings in any way, shape or
form. This is not the teaching of God in His eternal Torah!
Matthew
“… That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust
after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” (KJV)
Whenever someone points a finger to accuse, usually
that person has done the same thing – or perhaps, that verse and the others
(castration etc) simply show Jesus was not even rational. The New Testament
teachings on sex−Jesus and Paul−are strange at best! Sex is natural
and beautiful and is part and parcel of our world. But according to
Christianity, lusting is a crime worthy of death.
In essence, Jesus and Paul think that sex is evil. The
church fathers enforce Jesus and Paul’s concept by making themselves all
celibate. So many Christian pastors, priest and monks are noted of conducting
incest in their church. For information on the Catholic Church’s official
castration of young men read the Official
Church Policy: Castrati .
Possibly one reason why Paul was against sex was that
he firmly believed the end of the world was at hand and raising families would
be a waste of time. After all, he preached that Jesus was going to appear at
any time, and when he came, earth would be no more. Just another failed Christian
prophecy!
However, what was Jesus’ excuse? Jesus enjoyed
women around him. They served a purpose; they fed him and washed and mended his
clothes. They did everything but procreate. What? Didn’t God command Adam and
Eve to “be fruitful and multiply?” This is one of the 613 Commandments of
God recorded in Torah. Surely Jesus would have known to “be fruitful and multiply.” According to the New Testament Jesus was
a Jew and taught in the temple. Don’t you think that if Jesus was God’s “son”
he certainly knew what his “Father” commanded for His people – of which Jesus was
a member of the children of
But what about those Christian believers and even
some church fathers who castrated themselves and others too? What about priests and popes supposedly being
celibate? Are they twisting a hidden ugly truth of Christianity, of Jesus, of
Paul?
Christianity thrives because its followers do not
think for themselves, but are sheeple who are deceived by their crafty clergy
and ignorant friends.
"As G-d created our minds, He expects us to
use our reasoning together with our faith. Faith is not a substitute for
reason, but a development from it and alongside it."
