All of the Law of the Jews was totally fulfilled in the life and death of Christ.
When we become Christians, we are buried with Christ in the water of our Baptism.

Thus to the law we are then , (and for all time after) dead ....

We are dead in the eyes of the law.
And as we all know, the Law has no power over the dead...the law is fulfilled and we are no longer under it's power.

We rise up out of the waters of the new Covenant, and as such we now fall under the control and power of the New test commandments.

The important teachings for the church are found now in the New Test and are therefore part of our New Covenant...

The commandment that Gays do not enter into the Lord's Kingdom are found in the New test and are very much a part of the New Covenant that we now live under in Christ.
