Well, Term, first, I do not know what K believes.  However levitical law was the national law given to the nation of Israel.  And your question concerning why don't we also follow levitical law can be answered by reading the book of Hebrews.  You see, in the Old Testament (another word for testament is Covenant), God chose a special people to be His nation.  He gave them laws and entered into covenant with them.  All of the levitical law was designed to be how God dealt with mankind and His people prior to sending Christ.  Hebrews says the Old Testament law was a "picture of things to come."  It was foreshadowing of Christ.  The people of the old testament were bound to keep the law.  However scripture says the law's only purpose was to condemn mankind and make them accountable to God.  Christ's purpose was to fulfill the law.  He came, lived subject to the same levitical law, and kept it perfectly.  He fulfilled the law in himself.  We are no longer under the levitical law itself because Christ has come and fulfilled it.  We are now under the New Testament of grace. 

That being said, God is the same yesterday, today and forever.  His standards never change.  So while we are not bound to keep the law in all its pictures, rituals, ceremonies, and such, we are still under the spirit of the law.  God's precepts of right and wrong never changed. 

I know the transition from old covenant and new covenant is a very deep subject that would take books to really expound upon, I hope that is at least a brief synopsys of how it works to answer your questions about why we no longer follow the hebrew law.  It is not that we pick and choose what applies today, it is that we follow what the bible says to follow.  And the new testament makes it clear that the levitical law is fulfilled in Christ and done away with.


And finally, you are still wrong on saying I contradicted myself.  Thanks for the joke about deductive reasoning, but it was pointless.  You still have missed the point.  I still contend that there is no sexual orientation gene, either for hetero or homosexuality.  If you think my belief (and scientifically supported) that male and female and procreation are genetic, and that they also form the basis for heterosexuality, is somehow contradictory to my prior statement, so be it.  You have a right to be wrong.  Those things do not contradict one another.  Had I previously said there is no sexual orientation gene, and then followed it with saying "sexual orientation is in our genes" then that would be a contradiction.  But I didn't say that.  I said heterosexuality is in our genes.  There is a difference.  Because heterosexuality is only "in our genes" in the sense that male and female is genetic, as is the instinct to procreate.  If you have such a problem with those two statements coexisting, then answer these two questions.

1)  Is there a gene on the human genome for sexual orientation?
2)  Is sex (male and female) determined by specific genes on the human genome?

Hopefully you'll be honest and your answer to #1 will be no and your answer to #2 will be yes.

So we are in agreement on the basis for my two statements regarding gentics.

The only difference is that I believe that the whole notion of male and female and procreation necessitate heterosexuality.  With such a belief, it is basic logic that therefore heterosexuality is genetic in the sense that male and female is genetic, and heterosexuality naturally flows from that genetic makeup. 

Based upon that, you can hopefully see that with my beliefs, there is no contradiction whatsoever in my statements.  The only way there are is if you do not believe the existance of male and female necessitates heterosexuality.  If you don't believe that, that is your prerogative, but don't come here calling me out as a hypocrite or saying I lost credibility for contradicting myself when I did not.  My statements, given my personal beliefs, gel perfectly with one another.
