Reading the Bible With New Eyes!

In part 2 of her study Rev. Elder Nancy Wilson claimed Jesus: “…was a functional, if not physical, eunuch. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ redefined eternal life, dissociating it from the necessity to produce children.” It seems to me that the desire to find support in the Bible for homosexuality, as a legitimate lifestyle according to the Lord, has clouded Rev. Wilson’s thinking. John 1:1, 14 shows that the Lord God became man. This didn’t change who he was, it simply changed the **form** he embraced or used to participate in life (cp. Philippians 2:6-8). The Old Covenant tells us that the relationship of Israel and God was a marital relationship (cp. Jeremiah 31:31-32). The Lord was Israel’s husband. Jesus / God was already married to Israel. He put her away, in that he destroyed the nation in 70 AD, and he took to himself a new wife / the Church, or one could say he took to himself the faithful Jews and added those of the gentile community, who would receive him as their Savior / Husband – under the New Covenant. The claim that Jesus was a functional / physical eunuch (implying a homosexual) displays a great misunderstanding of the text.
