Hey Nymph, this is only a contradiction if the believer claims that God is unchanging with other 'omni' traits: an unchanging god would need to write the rules correctly in the first place, armed with the omni-science/benevolence that it would be necessary to control porcine consumption at a point in our future. It's worth checking what the believer thinks but you're correct in this contradiction from the standpoint of addressing many fundamentalist sects.
Drich, you believe in an unchanging god, don't you?
Chad, I think you don't; correct me if I'm wrong but you believe god changes it's instructions based on our ability to understand at any given point in time, with the aim of helping humanity develop? Further, that requires certain omni-traits?
