No OT Law means all bets are off, dude.

You misunderstand my position.

No OT ceremonial law in the new covenant era, e.g., no slaughtering animal and smearing blood as a token of propiatiation of sins, no keeping of judaic festival days, no dividing of men along racial lines in the covenant community.

II. This law, after his fall, continued to be a perfect rule of righteousness, and, as such, was delivered by God upon Mount Sinai, in ten commandments, and written in two tables: the four first commandments containing our duty towards God; and the other six our duty to man.

III. Beside this law, commonly called moral, God was pleased to give to the people of Israel, as a church under age, ceremonial laws, containing several typical ordinances, partly of worship, prefiguring Christ, His graces, actions, sufferings, and benefits; and partly holding forth divers instructions of moral duties. All which ceremonial laws are now abrogated, under the New Testament.

IV. To them also, as a body politic, He gave sundry judicial laws, which expired together with the State of that people; not obliging any other now, further than the general equity thereof may require. (Westminster Confession of Faith, Chapter 19)

Texts:

James i. 25; James ii. 8, 10, 11, 12; Rom. xiii. 8, 9; Deut. v. 32; Deut. x. 4; Ex. xxxiv. 1; Matt. xxii. 37, 38, 39, 40.

Heb. ix chapter; Heb. x. 1; Gal. lv. 1, 2, 3; Col. ii. 17; 1 Cor. v. 7; 2 Cor vi. 17; Jude ver. 23; Col. ii. 14, 16, 17; Dan. ix. 27; Eph. ii. 15, 16.

Ex. xxi chap.; Ex. xxii. 1 to 29; Gen. xlix. 10 with 1 Pet. ii. 13, 14; Matt. v. 17 with ver. 38, 39; 1 Cor. ix. 8, 9, 10.

Homosexuality is not a ceremonial issue. It is a moral issue, and the moral law is still in effect for all men regardless of the ethnicity.
