In Matthew, Jesus told the young man who asked him what he had to do to gain eternal life.
"Keep the commandments".
He also never said anything about a "new law" or new covenant.
In fact he specifically said there would be no new covenant.
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished."
Matthew 5:17-18 Paul made up the "new covenant".
You cherry pick what you want from the OT, and what you don't.
There were no "homosexuals" in the OT. The concept (of orientation) didn't arise until the 19th Century.
What you're doing has a name. You're committing "Presentism". It's a "thing" in History.

Jesus fulfilled the law, which no one else could do. The whole idea of the old law was to demonstrate that we were unable to follow it. How many fathers killed their sons for being disobedient? The law demonstrated that we needed a savior. Jesus summed up the law with two commandments. "love God above all and love your neighbor as yourself".
Nope. All total bullshit. The role of the Jewish Messiah was NEVER to be a savior.
Jesus never claimed to "fulfill" anything. All that arose in Christian history FAR FAR later.
The Jews needed no savior. They STILL do not claim to need one. It's simply NEVER been a part of the Jewish religion.
They had all the justification and purification they needed in their temple sacrifice system.
The Messiah was to restore the kingdom of Israel. Jesus failed to get the job done.
Also his disciples thought that also. In Acts they ask him,
"Wilt thou O Lord at this time restore the kingdom to Israel" ?
You apparently never studied History.
You really ought to.
Jesus SAID he came to change nothing.
But you're fully indoctrinated in the Christian lies and bs about how their cult started.
For at least 100 years, until the late 1st Century, Christians were Jews. The High Priest issued a proclamation (The Benedictions against the "minim" members of The Way sect, mentioned in the Gospel of John) ... the Expulsion Curses, demanding the Christians (the Way sect of Judaism) stay away from the synagogues. In the year 400 (!!!) the Archbishop of Constantinople (John Chrysostom) told HIS congregation to stop going to the synagogue in his Christmas sermon.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
