The truth is we can divide the law up into a million pieces. Laws which pertain to men, laws which pertain to women, laws which pertain to the Priesthood, etc. Would the laws written to the Priesthood somehow suggest that they are to be followed by modern priests/pastors?

The bible is obvious when it comes to moral and ceremonial laws. Sabbath day is a ceremonial law. Sabbath is done away with today, and was a foreshadow of Christ. It was a religious day of observance. So it is ceremonial.
Shellfish were an abomination, however, the New Testament is clear that forbidden and unclean meats are no longer an issue now. How can one explain why that is the case now?
But moral laws are moral laws now and forever. Morality is morality.
Homosexuality was something I never heard about as a child. When I did hear about it, an instant repulsion occurred in my heart about it. I think this betrays the unnatural and ungodly nature of the act. What we are repulsed by at the start of learning about a thing indicates what is right or wrong. I really believe this.
