Eunuch in the Bible

Dr. Norman Walker's Book Has References to the Eunuch (tonsillectomy)
Eunuch Meaning: Castrated

Some biblical accounts imply a eunuch’s castration such as in Isaiah 39:7 and 2 Kings 20:18. The prophesies in these two (identical) verses likely refer to castration.“And some of your descendants, your own flesh and blood who will be born to you, will be taken away, and they will become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.” (Isaiah 39:7)

“And some of your descendants, your own flesh and blood who will be born to you, will be taken away, and they will become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.” (2 Kings 20:18)

“Isaiah tells Hezekiah, king of Judah, that his sons will be taken away captive to Babylon and made eunuchs in the service of the king of Babylon,” according to United Bible Societies. “This would then be the case of castration of prisoners of war, as a punishment, and certainly also to put an end to a royal dynasty.”

Hymn: He Hideth My Soul

Image
A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord, A wonderful Savior to me; He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock, Where rivers of pleasure I see. He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock That shadows a dry, thirsty land; He hideth my life in the depths of His love, And covers me there with His hand, And covers me there with His hand. 2 A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord, He taketh my burden away He holdeth me up, and I shall not be moved, He giveth me strength as my day. 3 With numberless blessings, each moment He crowns, And, filled with His fulness divine, I sing in my rapture, oh, glory to God, For such a Redeemer as mine! 4 When clothed in His brightness, transported I rise To meet Him in clouds of the sky, His perfect salvation, His wonderful love, I’ll shout with the millions on high. ==================================================== This hymn's lyrics were written by Fanny Jane Crosby (1820-1915). The music was created by William James Kirkpatrick 183...

The Differences between Christians & Christian Nationalists in America

Image
A Christian's Belief Summary: A Christian obeys the U.S. Constitution, which informs people to separate the Church and the State. Christians separate their political and Christian beliefs to avoid conflict. Christians believe that God is love and therefore obey "love each other," which God says to do in the Bible. A mature Christian never forces anything on anyone else, especially their Christian beliefs. Christians know that mixing Christianity with politics leads to killing and war, and therefore, they avoid getting into this kind of behavior. Christians also believe in giving people the choice, since that is what God told people to do. Also, Christians know that freedom is not free because it had to be won with the soldiers who fought and died for it. A Christian knows that "In God we Trust" means to give everyone personal choices. A Christian Nationalist's Summary: On the other hand, a Christian Nationalist wants to unite the U.S. Constitution with their...

Evangelicals Want Religion taught in Schools

Image
Why is instituting religion in schools not going to work? Because there are different religions with differing theological beliefs. Catholics and evangelicals will fight and kill each other over their beliefs like they did in Europe long ago. Muslims will protest because they won't be part of the school system anymore. Children will feel like religion is being forced on them and will hate religion.  There have been many instances where children grew up in very religious homes and their parents' religion was forced onto them and they rejected religion and God for that reason. God gave everyone choice so forcing religion on children is therefore very wrong. If you want to know about the Bible and God then read the Bible and find a good church. The Bible is a historical book. We have much historical history, and people are supposed to learn from history. The Bible is a prime example of this. America's Constitution has a separation of Church and State for the above reasons.
