---------------- I believe your NT passages were quoted from Paul's opinion. Paul seems at best to be a rather conflicted individual who I believe might have named himself an apostle without any authority whatsoever to do so. Everybody else Jesus called he called publicly. I think it noteworthy that Jesus did not dwell on the subject of homosexuality, and he did not abolish or end the law (he affirmed the law). It was already against the law, as it should be. That law just like the others were for the benefit of mankind. The homosexual and dietary proscriptions were as much a matter of public health as anything. Many of the laws were for the maintenance of an orderly society . The need for the law did not die on the cross. Be careful when you read Paul. To me he is confusing and contradictory to Jesus. On the other hand Jesus is straight forward and easy to understand

You are totally wrong! Jesus did not affirm the law! He fulfilled it! To not understand that,is to not understand what it is to be a Christian.

Jesus fulfilled the law in that he is the only one who ever kept it. He was the only one who could keep it,having been born without Adam's sin. Jesus kept all the law for every one who couldn't, and then paid the price for everyone who didn't keep the law! The penalty for breaking the law is death and separation from God,which Jesus paid. In him all the law has been fulfilled.

The law is no more! It is done away with! Jesus nailed it to his cross. God has made a new covenant with us,not like the old one that was of law. In this new covenant God will write his laws upon our hearts and there will be no need for us to teach the law. God will be merciful to our unrighteousness and he will forgive our iniquities. God will dwell in us and we will be his people.

You need to read the whole book and not just the parts you agree with!!!!! You also need to stop misquoting it and misrepresenting it.
