It is typical for homosexuality advocates to throw the harsh aspects of
OT laws into people's faces when trying to justify homosexuality. But
homosexuality advocates turn their head to the fact that God intended
for certain aspects of OT law to expire with respect to the life, death
and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
With respect to foods that were forbidden by the OT, for example,
several passages in the NT indicate that Christians can eat anything
they want to. Relevant passages are:
Mark 7:2-23, especially verse 19 (NIV)
Acts 10:10-16
1 Corinthians 10:25-27
Hebrews 10:1-18, especially verse 18, also shows that animal sacrifices,
for example, are no longer necessary because Jesus offered himself as
the ultimate atonement sacrifice.
However, 1 Corinthians 5 makes it clear that sexual immorality not to be
tolerated in NT times any more than it was in OT times. 1 Corinthians
5, in fact, shows the example of a sexual offender who was expelled from
that church. Although the particular example was a case of incest,
homosexuals should note that Leviticus 18 forbids incest (verses 7,8) as
well as same-sex sexual relationships (verse 22). This shows that 1
Corinthians 5 could just as well have exemplified a homosexual as
getting expelled from that church.
Homosexuals need to keep in mind, however, that the good news of the
gospel is not about how God despises homosexuality. 1 Corinthians
6:9-11, in fact, shows that certain members of that early church had
formerly been involved in same-sex sexual relationships but had been
cleansed in the name of Jesus.
Indeed, return to God, believing in his Son Jesus in faith, and have
eternal life.
