Yes we have a difference of opinion. I do not go into the streets using the Bible as an offensive weapon to force anyone, gay or straight, to accept my beliefs. I have simply taken a public stance of the possibility of changing ones sexual orientation if a person decides to seek information on change. I do not go to gay sites and preach hell fire and damnation. People who want real information not just hysterical propaganda come to me. You on the other hand have come to a Christian board and denigrated our faith and the Bible without having taken the time to read the book you are condemning.

You have judged me and my motives based on your personal agenda, which apparently does not have anything to do with truth. Have you taken the time to research the psychological roots of homosexuality? Have you read any of the modern research including the recent studies done in the Netherlands that show that gay men are at greater risk for emotional and medical problems? Or are you simply out to bash what you do not understand and therefore refuse to accept?

This is an exact quote of what you posted. So are you now backing off this statement?

Attacking me is not going to change my mind and it is not going to motivate me to take my website off the Internet or tell you and others in the gay community that your behavior does not have eternal consequences. I accept people for who they are. Acceptance of who people are does not necessarily equate to blind acceptance of what they do. I have maintained friendly relationships with many in the gay community and intend to continue to do so.

1 Corinthians 5:9-13
9 I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people; 10 I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters; for then you would have to go out of the world. 11 But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he should be an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler-- not even to eat with such a one. 12 For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church? 13 But those who are outside, God judges. Remove the wicked man from among yourselves. NAS

Professed gay Christians have terminated their friendships with me because we have differing views on the inerrancy of Scripture, however, my non-Christian gay friends could care less about my faith. You on the other hand would rather assume you understand God’s truth and me based on your own assumptions.

Matthew 22:36-40
36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" 37 And He said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' 38 "This is the great and foremost commandment. 39 "The second is like it, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' 40 "On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets." NAS

The word “love” is used 219 times in the New Testament.

Matthew 5:43-48
43 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.' 44 "But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you 45 in order that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 "For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax-gatherers do the same? 47 "And if you greet your brothers only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48 "Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. NAS

Hate is a destructive emotion that effects the person who hates and does nothing to those who are the object of hate. Hate is detrimental to a positive mental attitude. What the Bible teaches about interpersonal relationships is simply common sense and good psychology and is just as relevant today as it was when it was written.
