False Argument - Jesus said some are born gay

HERE IS THE ARGUMENT FROM "WOULD JESUS DISCRIMINATE"

The author attempts to say that a man born as a eunuch is homosexual and because Jesus talks about it - he approve of homosexual men.

In the ancient world, including ancient Jewish culture (as reflected in the Talmud), “natural” or “born” eunuchs were not associated with missing testicles. Rather, they were associated with stereotypically effeminate characteristics and behavior (just like modern gay men), and were thought by Rabbi Eliezer to be subject to “cure” (just like modern gays). Moreover, as we have also seen, eunuchs were commonly associated with homosexual desire. (For a complete discussion of the term "born eunuch" and the connection with homosexuality, see The Early Church Welcomed a Gay Man.) As a reasonably informed person of his time, Jesus would have been aware of this common view of eunuchs. Yet he very matter-of-factly asserts that some people are simply born that way. The implication of his statement is profound — God created gay people the way they are! Jesus says so.

WHAT IS THE CONTEXT OF JESUS STATEMENT?

The gay author ignores the context of Jesus's words regarding the idea of celibacy over the risk of a marriage ending in divorce as a gift to whom it has been given. Jesus is simply saying there are people enabled by God to remain single and this is a hard saying to accept. The gay author's argument fails immediately when Jesus gives two more examples - which do point to eunuchs who remove their testicles. 

Jesus gives a reason why a person might be celibate, namely eunuchs which means literally "an emasculated man." 

The first example is a person impotent from birth. There is no indication that this emasculated person is homosexual. None reference to homosexual men at all.  Even if there was a hint of homosexuality Jesus' second and third example do not match the argument. 

“All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given” (Matthew 19:11). The saying of the disciples about it being not good to marry is corrected by Christ. He lists three people (or reasons) for abstaining from marriage. 

They are all termed “enunchs” (Matthew 19:12) which is the term used for a person, especially a man, who does not or cannot marry and produce children. 

First, the enunch by childbirth. “There are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb” (Matthew 19:12). This is one born with a physical defect making it impossible for that one to reproduce which would generally make it good not to marry. 

Second, the enunch by castration. “Some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men” (Matthew 19:12). 

This was “common … in the harems and courts of Orientals. The cruel and infamous treatment … was practiced against their will” (Williams) 

Third, the enunch by choice. “There be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake” (Matthew 19:12). This does not involve physical castration but the principle of self-denial for the purpose of better promoting the work of God. This is voluntary and not demanded of God. It is not to be confused to the unBiblical celibacy of Roman Catholic priests.
