I'm a veteran trained to a code of conduct that forbids the murder of Enemy Prisoners of War. Yet God commanded Saul to do just that in 1 Samuel chapter 15.
Since the law against murder can be set aside by a whim of the almighty it must be a ceremonial law rather than a moral law.
For believers to maintain it is a moral law, they must assert that morality itself is based on the whim of a particular being, and is not objective.
