[QUOTE="2PhiloVoid, post: 70881864, member: 167101"] I think you're a little confused as to what "unchanging" means and as to how this qualifier applies to God's person. [COLOR=#ff0000][B]First[/B][/COLOR] and foremost, God is HOLY. He always has been, and He still is. [U][B]No change there[/B][/U]. [B][COLOR=#ff0000]Secondly[/COLOR][/B], God is also willing to give mercy and grace to people who sincerely reach out to Him, just as He always has. [U][B]No change there[/B][/U]. [COLOR=#ff0000][B]Third[/B][/COLOR], God does not lie; God still gives us His truth and the injunction to love others. [U][B]No change there[/B][/U]. [COLOR=#ff0000][B]Fourth[/B][/COLOR], God has given us His (New Covenant) Word through His Church, and He has given us insight into His future plans. So, we can already tell that Christians are to be socially wise and somewhat physically passive in the face of general social opposition, but they are also to protect their families and community from invasive evil(s). [U][B]And we can tell from His Word that this won't change either.[/B][/U] [COLOR=#ff0000][B]Fifth[/B][/COLOR], God is Sovereign and as THE Sovereign, He can modify or update the parameters by which we live as we progress, or as we debilitate ourselves morally through successive eras; [COLOR=#00b300][U][I][B]but[/B][/I][/U][/COLOR] He will only do so in consistent accordance with the previous four priorities listed above. [B][U]So, no change should be expected here either that is out of the "ordinary" from what God has already established (and fulfilled) in the New Covenant of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
