When God made a covenant with Israel his commands included some which were intended only for them and are no longer in effect. However the fact that homosexual practice is wrong can be shown from other parts of the Bible.
Genesis 2:24 says, "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." This passage is quoted by Jesus in Matthew 19:5 as referring to marriage and by Paul in 6:16 are referring to sexual intercourse. This shows that God's intention was for sex to be only between a man and woman who are married to each other and any other kind of sexual union is a sin.
First Corinthians 6:9-11 says "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."
This shows that homosexual practice is a sin but it is no different from other sins and can be forgiven just as any other sin can.

His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
