Pretty Simple.
A man who has had his "member" cut off cannot enter into a specific section of the Tabernacle or Temple.
Both the Tabernacle (a big "tent") and the Temple (a smaller building) had a place where the Ark of the Testament or Covenant was kept. This was "God's Place", and God sat on the Mercy Seat on top of the Ark when it was in this room.
This room is described in the Books of the Bible, for the Tabernacle it is in Exodus 27 and 36. For the Temple it is in 1st Kings 6 and 2 Chronicles 3.

Fortunately, the kosher laws no longer apply to us under the New Covenant -- there are no longer any "unclean people" as anyone may enter freely into the congergation of the Lord (Acts 10:27-29; Ephesians 2:11-20).

Enuching?!? The cutting of the genitalia. Many of the old covanent laws are about the canaanite ritual practices and forbidding them. Some examples of canaanite rituals are talked about in Hosea and Habakuk---the 'sons of ephraim' were canaanites, as well as the people of the plains---Zeboim, Admah, Bela or Zoar, Sodom, and Gomorrah.

No one who is castrated by an accident or surgery may enter the assemble of the Lord.
An old law to preserve the purity and honor of the Israelites.

this was a temporary ceremonial law given to national Israel, which would cease with the spread of the kingdom of God through the nations of the world:
"For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;" - Isaiah 56:4.

Just what you think it does.
GROW UP MAN!
1Cr 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

The address alone tells me it was written NOT to me, the church the body of Christ, but to Israel. Therefore, it means nothing to me.

Thoughts are usually found within one's mind and not the computer. Do your own homework.

It means exactly what it says. It's pretty self explanatory.
