The gays-for-Jesus guy (referenced in an earlier post) claims that all Biblical criticisms of homosexuality are really only condemnations of male temple prostitution. I find his arguments unconvincing and dishonest

It is dishonest. Now that we are free from the law, there is a New Testamant commandment against sexual immorality in 1 Thess 4:1-8.

1Corinthians 11:

[1] Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
[2] Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.

Hummm - You must worship a different Yeshua than Paul did?

"It is dishonest. Now that we are free from the law, there is a New Testamant commandment against sexual immorality in 1 Thess 4:1-8."

The Mosaic law was never intended for all humanity, but only for the Jews, so Gentiles never needed to be declared "free of the law." But - as I understand it - some Jews speak of the "Noachide Laws," kind of a subset of the Mosaic law, which IS intended for all mankind, and the prohibition of homosexuality is included in that.
