"I believe that the whole reason Christ came along, was to free man for the old laws. Why is it that you are using the Old Testament to support you position? What did Christ have to say about these things? What about the other apostles?"

Christ also made the following statements that uphold the laws and commandments set forth in the Old Testament.

17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

He is referring to specific laws here.... Not the laws of homosexuality. He came specifically for the redemption of man.
