Now there was an Ethiopian eunuch, Numerologist Review a court official of the Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, in charge of her entire treasury. He had come to Jerusalem to worship 28and was returning home; seated in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah. 29Then the Spirit said to Philip, "Go over to this chariot and join it." (Acts 8:27-29)Maybe I'm not correct. Maybe the Ethiopian Eunuch considered himself very much a man. I don't know and it's very hard to work it out as there aren't a lot of eunuchs around now such that we can hear from them as to their own self-understanding. Mind you, some scholars do suggest that the term 'eunuch' could simply be a designation of the man's office as a high-ranking official in the court of Queen Candace, but I think that if Luke (the author) had wanted to say 'official' he would have used the word for official. He deliberately uses the word 'eunuch', meaning a male who had been emasculated, and I believe he did so because he had Deuteronomy 23:1 in mind - "No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off shall enter the assembly of the LORD." I'm a little reticent to make pronouncements about persons whose sexuality puts them on the periphery. Indeed, when it comes to the LGBTI community, I'm not even confident that I've got the acronym right. I think it's LGBTI, but I know some people add a Q or a Q+, though I've been told by others to drop the Q, and I don't think you can add the + unless you have the Q, but I'm not entirely sure about that either. I do fully respect the difficulty in settling on a fixed form of the acronym, as the goal is to be inclusive, and it's hard to be sure if we've included everyone once you fix the acronym, though I appreciate too that not everybody who feels left out can be included or necessarily should be included. I don't think any of us want to include those who have a sexual orientation towards children as a part of the '+ community' or as a part of any community we're involved in, regardless of whether the ancient Greeks found that form of sexuality acceptable! We tend to make a clear distinction between activities between consenting adults and abuse, and that certainly resonates with me. Even so, the ambiguities about who should be included and who not to include don't stop with pederasty. I just completed reading what I thought was an excellent book on the philosophy of love by Canadian philosopher, Carrie Jenkins, who lives a polyamorous relationship. She's a heterosexual woman with two adult male partners. At the end of the book she details some of the discrimination she's received as poly-person, and it's been extensive and, curiously, much of it has come from people in the GLBTI community!According to Jenkins, a lot of gay and lesbian people feel that people like her are discrediting their efforts to be accepted by the mainstream, and so she finds herself labelled as immoral rather than as different by people who, until very recently, were themselves labelled as immoral rather than different by the broader community. https://consumerscomment.com/numerologist-review/
