A Monument.


"For thus says the Lord:
To the eunuchs who keep my sabbaths,
who choose the things that please me
and hold fast my covenant,
I will give, in my house and within my walls,
a monument and a name
better than sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name
that shall not be cut off."  Isaiah 56:4,5 (NRSV)

Like the Berdache or Two-Spirits of the American Indians eunuchs* have a special role in the Heavenly House of God.


* Sexually unproductive males were excluded from worshipping in the Jewish Temple.  By inference this can be said to include homosexual men.

Why would

God

tell us

to be

non-violent

if He was

violent

Himself?

War.


We take our side,

and claim God's favor.

We dehumanize our enemies,

and wage war.

Gay Men.


Gay men

are acceptable

to God.

And they

go to Heaven

when they die.
