What, you mean like when someone asks you a question (say, for example, in an interview), and your answer is based on the Bible?
Yeah... See: Chik-fil-A: Comments of CEO: Insane Hyperbolic Response To.
No there isn't. In fact, one of the best ways you can love your neighbor in this day and age is to be honest with him or her about the thou shalt not parts - few need reminding in this day and age that God calls on us to show love and decency to each other; it is the flip side of that coin that people forget.
Not really. In fact, it leaves one vulnerable because the immediate return question - which you yourself asked - is "so do
you always do as you are supposed to according to the Bible?" and the honest answer for the Christian is "no". In order to speak on how we are supposed to live, one has to be willing to admit that one fails at it. That is sort of the opposite of self-serving.
No one said that homosexuality should be illegal, nor did anyone compare the effects of homosexuality with pedophilia. You are (again) creating a strawman. And clinging desperately to it, apparently, in at least the implicit realization that your standard of "you can't condemn something unless you have engaged in it" is remarkably short-sighted.
...no. Masturbation is not a homosexual act. It can be (it does not have to be) a Lust act, but it is not a homosexual one, especially given that it often takes place in a heterosexual context.
If you are having another guy whack you off, then yes. That is seeking sexual satisfaction from another member of the same gender.
Interesting idea. I have never spoken with President Obama, or, in fact, even seen him. Would you suggest that therefore I should retain a healthy skepticism as to whether or not he is the President? What about Abraham Lincoln - not only have I never talked to him, but he's long since dead. Should we agree that we don't know if he gave the Gettysburg Address?
The New Testament was largely written in the first century, and some of it was dictated in the early second - which is where we have the oldest surviving documents from (part of the Gospel of John). So not so much he said she said as all that - although there are some discordant details as you would expect from multiple eyewitness accounts. Nor is that all we have to go on, although it is fairly authoritative.
