[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I have your answer.

When Jesus died on the cross, all of those regulations given to Moses and the hebrew people were technically eliminated.  Not the 10 commandments, just all those other over the top rules given to Moses by God that he gave to his people.

However, the verses against homosexuality are beyond the Jewish regulations and continued after Jesus died.  See Roman's 1:26.  Therefore, they still apply.  [/quote]

If we are going to rely on the NT as the basis for what is moral and immoral perhaps you could comment on the following also in the NT and whether we are bound to follow them:

“I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.” (1 Timothy 2:12)

“Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.” (Ephesians 5:22)

“Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the cruel.” (1 Peter 2:18) [/quote]

Yeah, we've already had the conversation about how Paul's letters don't carry the same weight as Jesus' own sayings, except to a dwindling number of literalists.[/b] These are all from Paul, not from Jesus. The New Testament is not like the Quran, where every word is treated equally, as coming directly from God. [/quote]

Yes, I was the PP who posted that my primary emphasis is what Christ teaches us as stated in the gospels. It is not that I disregard other parts of the Bible but I don't view the OT and the NT (other than the gospels) as being sacrosanct.

The interesting thing is there are many scholars who view some of Paul's letters as having been authored by someone other than Paul but that claim would be viewed as blasphemous by the "literalists" as you describe them.[/quote]
