God does not experience "progressive" morality. Not sure where this is even coming from.
Presentism is a fallacious way that humans can misinterpret actions taken in the past. It is not correctly applied to those actions themselves.
None of this actually addresses my objections, it merely restates the bunk you've already blathered.
Answer the objections, don't restate your flawed claims.
I see. How can I say this more clearly...
1. God could force His will upon us since He is more powerful than we are, but if he did so, it would result in our loss of free will because we would would be coerced into serving him. Given the frequent objections to any and every mention of hell as a "threat", I'm surprised you are not more sensitive to this.
2. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. He does not change. Neither does His morality. This does not prevent Him from revealing his will to us progressively.
3. If we look back at some past instructions that God gave to Israel, we cannot fall into the trap of judging His actions as falling short of our present understanding of morality.
Now, I've tried more than once, but if this is still insufficient, please re-state your objections.
