"The Bible says “ ... sin is the transgression of the law,” (1Jn. 3:4) and “where no law is, there is no transgression.” (Rom. 4:15). Christians tell me they believe right and wrong are absolute (which is what I believe) but if what is sin, or not sin, can be changed simply by changing the law (e.g. changing the Sabbath laws) doesn't that make right and wrong contingent and arbitrary. [I know all about the ritual laws being fulfilled in Christ, and that is not the explanation.]

Hi Hank! I actually found your post searching for old Atlas Shrugged listings. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1411979/posts

I then went into your posts and found this thread.

The problem with "laws", is now a days, they are MANS laws....which can be interchangeable. God's laws cannot.A lot of so called "Christians" today are blinded by that fact. I use quotes because they aren't really Christians at all. They are fools, being led to slaughter.

First let me say I agree with you about “man’s laws,” which are truly arbitrary and contingent, and infinitely changeable, as the supreme law of this land (The U.S. Constitution) has been totally abrogated.

My original post though, was a question about the Bible itself, and “God’s” law, which also seems to have changed. If observation of the Sabbath was sin worthy of death in the Old Testament, but is no longer a law requiring obedience, hasn’t “God’s law” changed?

I won’t mind if you are not interested in answering the question, I’m just clarifying my original point.

Thanks for the comments.
