I once heard a New Testament professor at Arizona State (I took a class with him one semester; it was in late 2012) say that the Church doesn’t often talk about Matthew 19:10-12 about being eunuchs for the Kingdom… I’ve contemplated that before, I’ve tried to pursue a friend to be my wife, but that didn’t work out too well… but I won’t get into it now. Maybe once we’re farther into this journey, I’ll explain it to you, but for now, I’ll just say I don’t think I did enough for her. And I’m not even in it for reproduction or sexual activity… but I do pray I can find a wife one day. But I consider Jesus more important to me than even myself, so there’s that. I think while we try to start families, we need to exalt Jesus, for reproduction without Him, even inside a marriage, is pretty detrimental, seeing that most parents never carry the love of Jesus for their children and their children’s children… and so on. But it’s pretty awesome to see the world’s population grow. I don’t know what the issue is on how many people can live on the earth before provision isn’t even possible from the earth’s resources, but there’s still a lot of places yet previously untapped. There are things we can do and places to go! I know I want to take myself and two of my friends to Bali for a week some time later, but that’s for another time, should I have the means. But I don’t think we need to worry about the future, for they can have the challenges ready when we get there. Jesus said that today’s trouble is enough for today (Matthew 6:34 (NRSV)), so I think we should listen to Him, as God later said in the Transfiguration in Matthew 17.
There’s my final post, sorry I delayed it so much because it’s so close to midnight in Arizona, I looked up You Tube videos of the Harlem Shake and some Mario Kart 64 songs, mostly š see you in the near future for another Genesis 9 passage!
