Threadly reminder that Origen, one of the most important early Church fathers, castrated himself on account of Matthew 19:12:>For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and 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.If you're a *real Christian* then you'll do the same.
>>18719348They did this to many boys too, it's a sick and twisted ideology
>>18719348Wasn't he that dude who was threatened to be raped by a negro unless he makes a sacrifice to pagan gods? He agreed and consequently was excommunicated.
This is about the weakest argument against Christianity you could come up with. 1. It is widely questioned in modern church history if he really did this 2. Even if he did, Origen’s influence is basically null outside of the eastern churches, and even within them his name is not popular and few would cite him as an authority in most contexts. He is universally considered the least orthodox church father by far, and there is a reason why his name is never prefixed with “St.”
>>18719348I know you're too retarded to comprehend this, but this was the PROPAGANDA AGAINST Origen, because self-mutilation was considered to be a sin on par with suicide according to the church Canon.
>>18719447>>18719481Cope. It's funny how Christians accept everything else church historian Eusebius of Caesarea has to say except for the one anecdote that makes them look like trannies
>>18719481>sin on par with suicide according to the church Canon.Then how can you explain "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."?
>>18720007>how can you explain "there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sakeThose contaminated with the dark taint of hell-spawned demons should castrate themselves if they love God. Those verses were used by Christians to justify chopping off the balls of many dark hell-spawned demons back before it became common to pretend they're children of God too.
>>18720018What?
>>18720018>chopping off the balls of many dark hell-spawned demonsMan I love schizophrenia
>>18720041>>18720143it was normal to castrate dark race persons when enslaving them so that their contamination wouldn't destroy civilization.
>>18720007Monasticism and celibacy>>18719792>CopeYou're the one creating retarded threads out of spite
>>18720233God forbid history be discussed on a /his/tory board
>>18719348>if you're a real christian, you'll emulate an explicitely prohibited act that caused a highly renowned theologian to be denied ordination and subsequently excommunicated when he actually found someone willing to make him a priest, to the point that he is today expressely denied both sainthood and church father status in spite of all his impressive and influential works.Lmao. What next, if you're a real christian you'll repeat the denial of Peter?
>>18720829>an explicitely prohibited actwhere?
>>18720834DeuteronomyAlso St Clement as written theology, plus every other church authority Origen dealt with aside from the one retard he got to give him holy orders.
>>18720838Which verse in Deuteronomy?>b-but some men said it's not allowedWho cares?
>>18720206Why would Jesus tell his own followers to castrate themselves if that's the case?
>>18720844>Who cares?then why ask for sources you fucking faggot?
Reminder that Jesus was a transman because xhe only had xer mother's DNA.
>>18720891Why shouldn't dark hell-spawned demons also seek the salvation of God's children? The best thing a dark hell-spawned demon can do is self terminate (self castrate), some say they ought to serve and worship the living body of the one true God, but I think Muhammad was a heretic.
>>18720955>still no bible verselying christcuck go chop them off already
>>18719348Origen later reportedly regretted taking the passage so literally
