Nope sorry, those things are important but immaterial in the question of following God’s law.

Either the Bible is true and sufficient or its merely a historical book.

Well, yes, but that’s a different question, imo. Really, the original question, “Must Christianity change ...?” implies that there’s a possibility of extermination. I don’t think that makes a difference, though. Death is just a materialist obfuscation.

Well, it is a historical book, both in his composition and in its applications in societies that call themselves Christian.

“Either the Bible is true and sufficient or its merely a historical book.”

Right answer!

I think what tax-chick is referring to is Natural Law. It is the type of Law that is built into the very structure of our bodies, our bones, our brains, and our Universe. It corresponds to real human needs and requirements. It has the same source as Supernatural Law, since God is the author of both the Book of Nature and the Book of Scripture.

Paul refers to this when he says,

Romans 2:15
"They [Gentiles who do not have the Law] show that the demands of the law are written in their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even defend them"
