Ok xml looks reasonable, spindle is a bit whacky but thats nothing to do with the homing so wont bother about that at the moment.
First thing to do is make sure the machine if off any limit switches then look on the diagnostics page and see if any of the Home or Limit LEDs are lit (m1+ etc)

Sorry to be so ignorant
but, you do mean to press on the switch  on the diagnostic page
it will not go out....
I can go to the Z position until the yellow light comes on back and it goes out...M2
I can do the same for the x axis and the light goes out...m3
but the y axis when I jog to the home switch on y it is already lit and it will not go out
when I back off nor when I click on the on screen button

I was meaning physically press the switch by hand while watching the diagnostic page.
Sounds  like the switches are faulty on the Y, Also sounds like you have the active state of the X set wrong. However that doesnt really make sense as I would have thought all switches would have been Normally closed switches but it seems by your description above the X is normally open and Z normally closed.
So really what you want to try is like I say just press the switches with your hand and then tell me what happens on the diagnoostics page for X Y and Z when you press their respective switches (m1 is X, M2 is Y and M3 is Z)

Well, you know I don't think these are the kind of switches I have
they are a two part switch they are magnetic or something like that

I have S1000 Zero 3 machine from Germany I think they used magnetic switches

which up until yesterday it was homing great....
after I ran that G code from Cut 2D its started this

Ah ok its prox switches by the sounds of it. It may be magnets or may just be a ferrous metal that sets them off. If you have a bit of steel you could try passing that close to the prox switch, something like a screwdriver blade.

okay they are magnets looking closer to one it has written Meder Magnet

I use the tip of a screw driver passing over each switch in all possible ways
while watching the diagnostic page I saw no change

You would need to pass a magnet over them.
Ok from what you said before it seems Z is ok, X has active state the wrong way and Y is just not working.
What to try is disable the Y home switch in Ports and Pins and change the sate of the X limit and home then try and home the machine.
