``Those pushing for sodomite acceptance might try to float the line “we are under grace and no longer under the law.” The law is eternal. Jesus Christ fulfilled the law. (Read Hebrews) Because we are in him, we establish the law. (Read Romans).

Bingo! But the gays will say Jesus never said anything about homosexuality. Furthermore, it shouldn’t matter whether you marry a woman or a man because St. Paul says that “in Christ” there is no ”woman or man.”

I’ve got a rebuttal for that. Jesus defined marriage as male and female in Matthew 19:4-6.

“And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.”

As for any sexual activity that’s not in that relationship sanctioned by God, He would have called it fornication:

“For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,” Mark 7:21

Therefore in this way Jesus DID speak about homosexual behavior and not in a way the “gay” activists like.

It depends on what you mean by “law.” It is generally agreed that the Apostles, acting under Jesus’ commandments and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, did away with the ritual laws.

There are hundreds of ritual laws, of which among the most prominent is the obligation for men to be circumcised.

At the Council of Jerusalem, the Apostles determined that the ritual laws need no longer be followed. The gentiles did not need to be circumcised. Christians need not refrain from eating pork. And so on.

But the Ten Commandments remained valid, along with other moral laws and customs. For instance, Jesus made it harder for Christians to get divorced.

Of course the laws are now supposed to be followed through love, of God and neighbor. But I’m not sure that wasn’t the idea earlier, although perhaps some Pharisees who appear in the N.T. seem to have forgotten it.

More perversion of scripture. God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. He changes not. He condemned sodomy in his law for all time. Read Romans 1 about these reprobates whom God has given over to their perversion. The Bible calls them reprobate silver. Jesus Christ destroyed them utterly at Sodom and Gommorah (see Genesis 18 and 19) and has prepared a place for them, the lake of fire.

Jesus Christ is God. Who do you think spoke the law to Moses?
