But the trouble is that Jesus himself said in the bible that not the tiniest part of any of the old law would pass with his resurrection, that is, nothing was "nailed to the cross" except Jesus himself and there was no "new covenant." The only reason we don't offer burnt sacrifices these days is probably because people realized that it was a nasty thing to do and they got tired of rounding up all those animals. And, I hope, we're just a tiny bit less superstitious than people were back in biblical times.
Again, though, if Christians are going to claim that Levitical laws against eating shellfish or meat & dairy products together, wearing clothes of mixed fibers, working on the Sabbath, or other such silly laws are part of the "old covenant" that we don't have to follow any more, then so is the prohibition against homosexuality as laid out in Leviticus 18:22, as well as all the ten commandments as described in Exodus. After all, they're also in the OT, and came even before Levitical laws. But for some reason they think that the ten commandments need to be posted on all public buildings.

Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
