Actually, I believe the injunctions against eating shellfish, the injunction to make animal sacrifices to God, and whatever injunctions there are against homosexuality are all found in the Old Testament.
Yes, those are all aspects of the Lord's Covenant with the Jews.

Some are and some aren't. Some of Gods commands existed before they were given to Jews.

So are we saying those are all antiquated now?

No, but as those of us who know the Bible can tell you, the only aspects of the Judaic law that are binding on the Christian are those involving sexual morality.

Technically, no aspects of Judaic law apply. Realistically, when one knows God through Christ he will find it difficult to violate the 10 commandments as laid out in the old testament and further amplified and expanded by Jesus in the new testament.

As I said above, there were other laws and commandments that existed before the Jews and were practiced by the early church.

By the way, what exactly does the Bible say about homosexuality?

It calls it an abomination.

Homosexual sex is a sin. But so is heterosexual sex outside of marriage. And so is lusting after other woman (or men) when you're married. The point being that everyone sins. It's part of human nature to sin. All sin is the same in Gods eye. Any sin makes us unworthy of God.

If you two really want to discuss belief, go to this thread:

The NeverEnding Story (The New Christian Chronicles)

I guarantee you'll find people to agree and disagree with.

Homosexual sex is a sin. ... Any sin makes us unworthy of God.

Which is why decent people must condemn the homosexual lifestyle. Nothing good can come from such poisonous weeds.
