As for homosexuality, even if it is immoral, I'm not supposed to stone a homosexual.
I'm not going to look up the particular passage again and again, but I guess you know well enough that the NT quotes Jesus with saying that he didn't come to abandon the law but to enforce it.
So out goes your cherry picking. Unless you pick your cherries from the NT also.
The passage says that Jesus came to fulfill the law. We're not under the law because Jesus fulfilled the requirements of the law for us. That's what the new testament says. Actually, atheists are the ones who pick cherrries. They are always trying to harp on one isolated passage and ignoring others. If they look bad, then atheists like them, if they look good, then they don't.
