Huh? If God is the source of morals, then if tomorrow He declares that slaughtering your next door neighbor is all right, would you still not consider the act immoral? If you understand the act to be immoral even if God declares it to be right, is this not indicative that morals exist apart from God?

Then you are declaring God is immoral. That is not a Christian concept.

A.W. Tozer, in his book *The Knowledge of the Holy* has an excellent chapter on the immutability of God. The entire book is an excellent read and one I highly recommend.

How can you call yourself a Christian and spout such nonsense as that? If you do not understand that God's laws are eternal, that they do not change with the wind, then you clearly do not have the vaguest idea of what Christianity is.
