#skoptics

In this sense, the Skoptists are smart to want to undo the shame Adam and Eve put on all humanity according to their Scriptures. For those on the prosexual side that say the greater seal is too extreme and that Jesus died for our sins, they are forgetting an important piece. In the New Testament, it does say in multiple references that when humans go to Heaven, they will become eunuchs and devoid of their sexuality. Thus the Skoptics and related movements make the wise move of bringing Heaven to earth through their castrative measures instead of waiting till death. Other religions have provided similar arguments even if is just for the sake of maintaining celibacy, which a eunuch lifestyle will definitely facilitate.

Christianity's favored state is celibacy, but this has been long forgotten by most Christians. Valesians and Skoptsy are the most correct when it comes to christian interpretations. Jesus preached a friendship of humans through agapé, not a sexual relationship. Being one in Christ means we are all one and the same; there is no female or male, no jew or gentile.

Always push Genesis when having these discussions with them. Let them know a fruit could also be symbolic of a woman's vagina "the fruit's flesh" and how God making Eve pregnant for defiance was likely a sexual related punishment since there would of been no need to engage in sexual filth if they maintained their original immortality. It was likely the act Satan or the Serpent tempted the two to do, resulting in God saying "If you want to engage in a lustful act like this when clearly I made you immortal unlike the other animals that have to do it as part of nature, then I punish you with mortality like the rest and thus you and all those in further generations have to do it as well just to survive but it will hurt real bad!". Satan is the one that implanted sexuality into humans at the time of Genesis and thus sexuality is the reason why humans reject their Creator in favor of the Devil.

Marriage is a social construct and I doubt jesus would shoot down some magic light the second you sign you name on a dotted line on a marriage document to make that relation ok. In reality, marriage is simply a surrender to your fleshly sins since you are not strong enough to drown out your self and your nature.

From a more historical point of view, the the antisexual movement was originally rooted in Skopsyism since its founders were in Russia, where that faith occured. The more damage the modern sexual monstrosity does, the closer to Skopsyism its practioners in large part will follow as a rebuke of what they see and what they are personally experiencing. Sex is social construct. God created sex organs for reproduction and not for selfish or hedonistic reasons.

I'm reminded of a passage from the apocryphal "Gospel of Thomas"... a pseudopigraphical, pseudo-gnostic or pre-gnostic document from the 1st or early 2nd century levant purporting to be the sayings of Jesus... One aphorism that is not canonical has always stuck with me :

"7. Jesus says: "Blessed is the lion which a man eats so that the lion becomes a man. But cursed is the man whom a lion eats so that the man becomes a lion!""
