Can God's law change over time? -general_re-

No. -me-

Which leads to the following rather amusing syllogism, which must then logically be true.

Hate to tell you but your syllogism is garbage. You are quick to bash religion and could not wait for an answer could you?

That God's law cannot change over time has nothing to do with his being omnipotent or not. He could change it if He wanted to. Thing is he does not want to. You see, God, like humans (because we are made in his own image) has free will. He can exercise it as he chooses but not being like the atheist heros Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Kim Jung Il, Castro, and Idi Amin he does not use his powers, his omnipotence to do evil. He has made a covenant with mankind and he is not going to break it.

Maybe it doesn't apply to you any more, since you seem to wish to disclaim your earlier answer, but in your stead, others have signed up for the position that God's law cannot change. Sorry, it's not garbage. It's just pointed elsewhere now.

I made my post, and you checked out for 12 hours. In the meantime, others objected and I answered them. Sorry - threads don't come with a special gore3000 "pause" button.

Well, okay, but in that case, you need to brush up on your reading comprehension. I didn't ask you if God's law WILL change over time, I specifically asked you if it CAN change over time. If you wish to change your answer, I can certainly see why. I'm glad that you agree with me on this point, but there are many here who do not.
