Why do so many Christians, Jews and Muslims ignore the parts of the Bible that reaffirm and support gays and the intergendered. Jesus said that some eunuchs were born that way from their mothers womb. There are numerous same sex love stories in the old Testament. And in Isaiah it says that eunuchs will be given names better than "sons or daughters" and will not be cut off from God.

Eunuchs were men who could not have children (either they chose to become that way or not). Paul chose not to Marry because he was working full time to do Gods will (he may not have been a eunuch though) and he encouraged other to be singles and be workers for God (if they could handle it), if not it was better to marry than commit adultery.
In the old testament you are probably thinking to David and Johnathan. Love does not always mean sex. Do you love your parents? Do you love your children? Love and sex are not the same thing.

If there are parts that supports gays in the bible, that will be another reason for Muslims not to recognize the present bibles.
To Muslims, the present bibles are not the words of Allah ( God) as they have been changed and rewritten by humans.
In Islam, being a gay is one of the great sins.

A eunuch has no testicles. The ones he was talking about were the men in Daniel. The bible is clear on this issue. You just don't want to accept it.

I dont know which Bible you are reading, but my King James version says no such thing. The prophets were sent for people to listen to them and return to the Lord their God. Jesus our Lord and Saviour came and died on the cross, so that mankind would turn away from sin and walk in newness of life. It means being reborn spiritually, and putting of the old nature of stealing, killing, homosexuality, fornication, you set your mind on things above, instead of being earthly.By the way they treated the prophets shamefully, the same as they did not want to listen to Christ. who said "Fear God, who has the power to cast you into hell."

I think many limit God to our perceptions and morals ... I never have understood why ppl want to try and limit our Father ...
He is God.. and He made All of us.. and if you want to go with christian philosophy.. He doesnt make mistakes... but many want to condemn and at the same time tell of HIs love ...a contradiction that turns many away from Him....
organized religions have done more to turn ppl away from God ..than to help know Him ... my opinion

Interesting research. It seem the bible is full of contradictions. Perhaps because there were so many authors. I wouldn't bother too much what 'christians' say. They will always be condescending to non christians whether or not your gay.
