There are different sects but all ultimately default to the New Testament if there is a question. The New Testament settles it. Read Jude 1 and Romans 1. Christians have to decline serving anything that condones or promotes homosexuality like a "gay wedding". Jude 1 though reminds to be compassionate to the individual homosexual and make a difference in their maladjustment. Just don't confuse that with promoting homosexuality itself as a "behavioral norm society approves of".Seems to me Christians DO use the OT laws. Especially if it suits them.
17 p“Do not think that I have come to abolish qthe Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but rto fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, suntil heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 tTherefore whoever relaxes uone of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least vin the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great vin the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds wthat of the scribes and Pharisees, you xwill never enter the kingdom of heaven.
- Matthew 5 ESV
Not only does this establish the Law is still in effect, but it also illustartes even if you break the Law you go to Heaven. Gay or not.
No it doesn't. Jesus is simply saying that his purpose was not to abolish the law and that the law would not change until its purpose was accomplished.
