The OT was given by God--but it based on Mans idea of religion. Its as if God took mans bankrupt ideas of earning his favor(gifts on the alter, fancy dress, ritualistic items, overbearing legal code, special days, outward acts of false humility) and served it to them on an unbearable platter. Paul describes it as slavery and a burden.
Yes, God also wrote in the law things he desired--but most he did not desire(he desired mercy not festivals). He also cloaked in the tedious rituals and strange codes the shadow of Christ and Prophecy. But people, the Old Covenant was to teach man the futility and absurdity of mans ideas in earning his favor. It mimics other religions for a reason. Nothing in that code stands--NOTHING.
Ban on Homosexuality is repeated in the New Covenant. Anyone bringing up shrimp has no understanding of the above. But unbelievers dont doubt because of this misunderstanding. They just search for excuses to reject Christ
