That which was "written and engraved in stones" is done away.

I don't want to beat you up Diamond, but this is a perfect example of how one should not read the prophets.

One of the foremost things to keep in mind when reading the Word is that YHWH is the ONLY claimant for the title of 'god' that declares explicitly that what He said in the first place is what will be in the end. It is His primary challenge against other claimants, And is the signature move that only He can do.

Your typical 'god' type allows for change through his agents - I don't care which one you might care to investigate, as every_single_one has a priesthood or prophet(s) empowered to revise the original definition/doctrine.

YHWH is the *only* one that does not allow it. What is said first cannot be altered by what is said last. Period. YHWH's Word does not return to Him empty. Ever. This is the reason that the Hebrews were instructed as they were wrt identifying false prophets - No one can change the Torah. *NO_ONE*. And no prophet can change what the prophets before him have said.

Your reading of this thing cannot be, as the Torah declares from the very beginning that the Sabbath Day is eternally sanctified and set apart. That is forever. And if you care to read Isaiah, Ezekiel, Zechariah (and others), you will find that they speak of a time beyond the Day of the Lord, when the Law will go forth from Jerusalem, and the whole world will keep the Sabbaths of YHWH - All of them - Which includes the weekly Sabbath.

So either you are wrong, or the Torah is wrong (and YHWH is made a liar), or one or more of the prophets are wrong (and YHWH is made a liar).

Your citation(s), please.

No one here, including me, is suggesting that the Word of God has changed.

I think you are postulating a false dichotomy here based on your own presuppositions about the meaning of the word "eternally" in relation to the Sabbath.

Cordially,
