At the time of Abraham, what were god's rules for the people of Yámana (Yaghan) and the Kawéskar (Alakaluf) from Patagonia?
First of all God's plan was set before creation, so the plan has never changed, God has been revealing His plan throughout history in a progression He has determined is best...
I guess that works with anyone doesn't it? Obama didn't change from a pro-openness and freedom politician to a NSA loving secrets president because he had planned to do so all along. While arguable from his point of view, it is not arguable from the point of view of the observer, same as god.
From the point of view of man, god has undeniably changed.

How fair is it to be judges without the better guidelines of what is required?Quote:If his interaction with mankind and his requirements were varied according to earlier times and places, why died he change and become uniform today?.. God at the time of Abraham gave him the law of circumcision, He did this to set the Israelites apart from all other people, circumcision was not a practice before this time and was only practiced by Israelites until after Christ's ascent into heaven. There were no laws given to the Israelites until they left Egypt, God gave them many laws that would lead to a better relationship with Him.
If a teacher gave homework and told the latecomers more info on its requirements, would that be fair to the earlier students? No!

Who was god so concerned with identifying his children? Why is god not concerned with identifying christians today? What would it matter?

Enter Christ into the world, God the Father brought Him into the world through His chosen people, as He promised. God revealed His plan through Christ and the plan was for the world, everyone. So those laws that applied to the Israelites, that by the way only applied to them, food laws, circumcision and such, never had to be applied to others because Christ came to the world, for Jews and gentiles alike. All who come to God through Christ are part of His family and this is how God now separates His people from the world.

OK, school has a set of rules for the students that has been set for years.
The school gets a new principal, who changes some of the rules. One does not say that the old rules were invalidated by the new principal's arrival, nor does one say that the changed rules weren't changed.
By the way, "God's people are now separated from the rest of the world by education reason and derision."
