No need to be insulting, just throwing my view out there.

he himself said that he came not to change even one jot or tittle of the law
but to fulfill the ordnances so we would be able to claim a grace salvation instead of being judged ( by God ) on our inability to abide by the law.

I have read Romans and Corinthians; Romans especially supports the view that faith replaces the law (Romans 3:21-31:
"The Righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ..."). If you read the verse immediately before gospel passage you are quoting Christ says "
Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have come not to abolish but to fulfill" (Matthew 5:17). But I think Galatians has the best point here
"Therefore the law was our disciplinarian until Christ came, so that we might be justified by faith." (Galatians 3:24). Faith results in a higher calling then the law proscribed (the law of the Spirit: Romans 8). The question remains, is what Paul writes on the subject culturally subjective or not? Is homosexuality counter to the Law of the Spirit? We just come up with different answers. You say yes, I say no.
