The trouble is, liberals respond to that argument by pointing out other Old Testament laws that Christians don’t follow anymore. Like women have to cover their heads, women can’t talk in church, certain offenders have to be stoned to death, you can’t mix two different fabrics, etc. Might be better to point out the New Testament verses condemning homosexuality, and how Paul was never corrected or told to change his preaching about it. Also, when Jesus talked about marriage, he spoke of a man and his wife. He never mentioned two men or two women.

Just a thought.

This issue was hashed-out in the Book of Acts, and it was determined that gentile converts were not subject to all the requirements of Jewish law, but that basic moral principles must still be accepted, such as laws applying to adultery and fornication. Jesus did not tell the adulterous woman that adultery was ok, but to "go and sin no more."
