Can someone give me a clear answer on this question : Christians says that the Law ( ten commandments and law of moses is done away with, nailed to the cross) is it OK to participate in inappropriate behavior with animals? this was forbidden in the law of Moses but since that is nailed to the cross that means it's Ok right? if NO than please tell me why not and according to what law?

Jesus' death on the cross does not convert sinful behaviors into godly ones. Sin is sin, whether stated in the OT or the NT. Murder is still sinful regardless of the cross. inappropriate behavior with animals is still sinful regardless of the cross. Covetousness is still sinful regardless of the cross, etc.

As believers in Jesus Christ, we are not called to live in sin but in righteousness, as we seek to honor, glorify and obey Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us.

  • Romans 6:1-4 says: What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? 3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Therefore, participating in inappropriate behavior with animals is sinful and should not be found in the life of a believer. Read what Paul tells us in Ephesians 5:1-7:
  • Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. 2 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. 3 But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; 4 neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. 5 For [a]this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. 7 Therefore do not be partakers with them.
Hope that helps clarify things for you.

The law was done away for justification. "Christ is the END of the law for righteousness (justification) to everyone that believes." As a rule for living the law certainly still applies and always will apply. "He that nullifies one of the least of these commandments shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven."

According to the law of Moses, homosexuals and those who practice inappropriate behavior with animals shall be put to death......
It would certainly be impractical to execute them all.........

Leviticus 18:22 – Queer Bible Hermeneutics

Leviticus 18:
22“You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.”[1]
23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
Leviticus 20:
15 'If a man lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death; and you shall kill the animal.
16 If a woman approaches any animal to mate with it, you must kill both the woman and the animal. They must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.

Mal 4:4
Remember ye the law of Moses My servant, That I did command him in Horeb, For all Israel -- statutes and judgments.

Heb 10:28

Anyone who has rejected Moses' law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.


Jhn 8:5
and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?'
============================
Paul explains it where many of his followers were both Gentiles and OC Jewish converts to Christ

(2 Corinthians 4:7-18)
Romans 6
1What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer? 3Or don't you know that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4We were buried therefore with him through baptism to death, that just like Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. 5For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection; 6knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin. 7For he who has died has been freed from sin.

8But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him; 9knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has dominion over him! 10For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God. 11Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

12Therefore don't let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13Neither present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.

1 Peter 3:14-22)

15What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? May it never be!
16Don't you know that to whom you present yourselves as servants to obedience, his servants you are whom you obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness? 17But thanks be to God, that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto you were delivered. 18Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.

19I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh, for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for sanctification.

20For when you were servants of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. 22But now, being made free from sin, and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification, and the result of eternal life. 23For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Some interesting stats..........

All the countries where inappropriate behavior with animals is legal but same-sex marriage isn't
All the countries where inappropriate behavior with animals is legal but same-sex marriage isn’t

Japan
As of 2018, Japan has no laws against inappropriate behavior with animals, nor the sale or ownership of inappropriate contentography that features animals and sexual acts.

Cuba
There is no mention of inappropriate behavior with animals in the Cuban constitution, and Cuba does not currently outlaw having sex with animals.

Russia
Despite having laws banning gay “propaganda”, Russia currently has no laws outlawing sex between humans and animals.

Chile
Chile is another country which has not yet banned sex between humans and animals but maintains a ban on same-sex marriage.
Same-sex couples in Chile have been able to enter into civil unions, which grant similar rights as marriages, since 2015.

Hungary
The laws on inappropriate behavior with animals are slightly more vague in Hungary, where same-sex marriage and many protections for LGBT people are banned.
Though some sources report that inappropriate behavior with animals is banned in Hungary under laws criminalising unnatural acts, it is not specifically outlawed.

Romania
In Romania, there is no legal recognition at all for same-sex couples, with proposals to introduce civil unions near-unanimously rejected in 2013 by the country’s Senate.
But it continues to be legal to have sex with animals in the country, with the country’s penal code failing to criminalise the act.

Phillipines
The Philippines is one of the most LGBT-friendly countries in Asia, with a 2014 poll finding that 73 percent of Filipinos believe homosexuality should be accepted.
As of 2018, there are no laws against inappropriate behavior with animals in the Philippines.
=================================
The U S wasn't listed in that list but I found this info:

All the US states where inappropriate behavior with animals is still legal

If you thought America couldn’t get any weirder at the moment, you should probably know that the Ohio Senate has only just got round to voting through a bill banning inappropriate behavior with animals, but it still has to go through more lawmakers before it becomes law.

Oh, and that it’s one of the 10 US states where inappropriate behavior with animals currently isn’t illegal.

The others are:

Hawaii, Kentucky, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, Texas, Vermont, West Virginia and Wyoming, and the District of Columbia, according to Michigan State University College of Law.
