    I don't believe at all you're a homophobe or a hater. You just don't seem to want to listen to other people when what they say challenges you.

    I didn't bring it up. I was never aguing a case here - I only told you my friend's story, to try to help answer your question with his perspective. But you put all sorts of twists on it, presumably because you didn't like it, I'm not sure. Then dismissed it because it wasn't concrete evidence. And did the same for everyone else here. You say you only believe in evidence (though only produce opinion yourself), but won't listen to accounts from people who have actually lived the experience!

    i find it weird that people do actually believe this, i mean the bible is an interpretation of an interpretation of an interpretation so really no one knows the real truth, and people who claim to like this 21 year old have no clue at all.

    Do we really think here that after 2000 years of solid biblical exegesis, a 21 year old has found what the Bible really meant?

    Chamber, Jesus spoke of the kingdom of heaven. He said it would come during the disciples generation. Definition of Eunuch, a man who has no attraction for women. Mt. 19:10-12 Jesus speaks of three groups of eunuchs which were not to receive the law of adultery. Those eunuchs who were born from there mothers womb. Those made by man - the castrated. The monks who made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heavens sake. Know the Word? the kingdom of heaven is here on earth. In our flesh bodies.

    That was amazing! What you're saying then is that if a gay person abandons his urges and acts as a heterosexual,that is considered as a sin by God? Wow,that's wow! I never believed God hated gay people because all that Jesus taught us was love. Our God IS the God of love and thus he couldn't have told us to hate someone!! And now you actually proved it! You're awesome! :)

    No I don't. You're fine to have an opinion. However all I could see was you dismissing my gay friend's story, and other people's on here, because they somehow didn't fit your mould of what constitutes an acceptable answer. You're looking for an answer that will apply to 100% of individuals, and if it doesn't, you discard it. 100% is never going to happen - we live in a world where people's personalities, experience and makeup varies much too greatly for that ever to be the case.
