I'm not saying that objective morality is separate from God, I'm saying that objective morality can't change, as God can't change, because if it did, that would mean God changes and He is thus imperfect needing to change (and also not omnibenevolent, for he judges people arbitrarily).
My question is how can we know what God's Will is, or even know we are following God's Will, especially when it's morally complicated, in terms of certainty?
Our understanding of what is moral can certainly change.
Just because we have some divine edict, doesn't make something moral. Religious fanaticism is full of folks doing something they perceive of as good in God's name or following God's command. Morality must fall under the domain of reason and benevolence towards our fellow human beings, because that is the example that Jesus left us. He placed compassion and benevolence above religious duties.
