Thanks for the response. Makes sense. Although the whole notion of the Holy Spirit guiding so much seems to remove free will to an certain extent. I actually don't know the Church's stance on that. Free will? Yea or nay?
If the old testament rules are mostly void, then why follow so many of them? The whole anti-homosexual thing is from that portion correct?
Quick wikipedia search led me to:

Passages in the Old Testament book Leviticus that prohibit "lying with mankind as with womankind" and the story of Sodom and Gomorrah have historically been interpreted as condemning homosexual acts, as have several Pauline passages. Other interpreters, however, maintain that these passages do not condemn homosexuality, saying that historical context suggests other interpretations or that rare or unusual words in the passages may not be referring to homosexuality.

So yeah, what's the deal with being anti-gay?
Sorry I'm asking questions quicker than you can answer. I do find this stuff fascinating though.
