Those who accept the New Covenant are not under the law of sin and death, which includes the laws of Moses.

So God can change the law. Thank you.

LOL ... God can do just about anything. But He won't biolate His own character. He can make a new covenant without erasing the previous one, that's why you would do well to read about the Noahide covenant. When Jesus fulfilled the law, it did not erase it. And you're welcome.

No, the Law cannot be changed.

The law was fulfilled by Christ when He lived it perfectly, every last bit of it, and we are no longer under the power of the law because we are in Christ.

The law is still God's standard of Holiness and it is what it is to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith.

It was set aside when it was super-ceded by the new covenant, but it was NOT changed.

Besides, the prohibition against eating blood was given before the law and was reiterated after the new covenant was established, at the Council at Jerusalem.

The prohibition against eating blood stands outside the Law even though the law addresses it.

So even if the Law could be changed, that prohibition cannot be, and was not.

So that argument that God can do anything and God can change the law if He wants, fails.
