If someone has no desire to get married or have a sexual relationship with anyone due to an anatomical defect or other medical condition\u2013or even just out of zeal for the Lord, that person may classify as a type of biblical eunuch. Few people are born with those type of conditions or choose a life of celibacy on purpose, but the occasional person remaining celibate for their entire life is a legitimate and natural option.<\/p>\n<p>Homosexuality, on the other hand, is an abomination and unnatural. If someone is born with no sex drive, they don\u2019t just accidentally start going after \u201cstrange flesh.\u201d According to the thesis of the book these people are pushing, we are supposed to believe that a man who committed Sodomy with a multitude of men was actually just \u201casexual\u201d and attracted to neither men nor women. It\u2019s hard to believe that anyone is actually stupid enough to believe that. The true story is that many fundamental Baptists don\u2019t have the guts to preach what the Bible actually says in 2017 America, so they conveniently latch onto these type of cute, new doctrines.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>QUOTING QUIVERFULL is a regular feature of NLQ \u2013 we present the actual words of noted Quiverfull leaders, cultural enforcers and those that seek to keep women submitted to men and ask our readers: What do you think? Agree? Disagree? This is the place to state your opinion. Please, let\u2019s keep it respectful \u2013 but at the same time, we encourage readers to examine the ideas of Quiverfull and Spiritual Abuse honestly and thoughtfully.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/188\/2017\/01\/more-7.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-40011\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-40011\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/188\/2017\/01\/more-7.jpg\" alt=\"more\" width=\"35\" height=\"46\"><\/a><em>Read more by Steven Anderson:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/nolongerquivering\/2016\/12\/quoting-quiverfull-moochinaries\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\">Moochinarnies<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr>\n<p><em>Stay in touch!
