But Paul assures the Mosiac law is not binding, obsolete. If you have a savings account that draws interest, you are also in violation. Divorce is outlawed not only in the old but the new testament but I don’t see any Christian movement to outlaw divorce. Why so hard on this subject but not the other?

...."But Paul assures the Mosiac law is not binding, obsolete.".....

NOT TRUE! Jesus said He did not come to do away with the law, but to fulfill it. The law is still the law, but we have GRACE now. Just because we have grace, should we sin more? God forbid! Homosexuality is still wrong and will be judged, just as lying, stealing, fornicating, adultery, pride, ect, ect ect. We have grace to cover for mistakes and slips, but NOT for covering unbelief. If you know homosexuality is wrong, you can keep sodomizing and expect grace to cover it. I even question a person's salvation to even think that. The NT Law is Love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and your neighbor as yourself. That pretty much covers everything the Law and prophets preached for thousands of years, but it did not do away with it. How would you know what God wants from you without the Law?

If you leave your house to commit fornication and think you can come home and ask forgiveness, you don't have grace, you have judgement. Don't blame God when you end up with an STD, or a divorce, or some other problem when your sin finds you out. If you steal, you are subject to prison, not forgiveness. When you die to your flesh, you are expected to sanctify yourself and become a new creature. A dog returns to his vomit, but a believer should live like they are believers. Lot's wife turned back to admire her past and paid the price. People under the law were condemned from the start. Why would you want to reject grace and go back to the law. If you purpose to sin, you are under the Law again.

If your denomination teaches that homosexuality is under grace, that's just a lie from the devil and you need to flee that teaching. A person knows who they are pulling their pants down in front of. It's not an accident to have sexual sin. If you set out to fornicate, chances are you aren't saved in the first place.
