Lol guess I'm going to imaginary hell. When I was a believer god didn't do any of the stuff he was supposed to do. If anything, it was his lack of action that helped push me into not believing him.

How do you not understand that there are differences between OT Judaism and NT Christianity? Chief among them are the dietary restrictions. OT Jews had to eat certain thing and avoid others while Christians in the book of acts specifically had this restriction lifted!

If all laws remain then their would be no difference between an OT jew and a Christian.

What! Drich! I don't think you really meant what you said. The immutability of God is basic doctrine. He was the same then as He is now, and will be forever. What I think you meant was that the one unchanging God acts eternally across human history but that God is experienced differently by people depending on where they are at within history.

So much so that "stay away from the shrimp" becomes "shrimp buffet yall..skeet skeet!".   Rolleyes

You both understand that you're describing subjective religious truths, yes? From here on out, whenever either of you prattles on about some objective decree made by your god, or objective truth offered through the same, I'll have to remind you that you can only be referring to your subjective experiences of a god who's "unchanging" and "eternal" nature is no more adequately expressed in that than in the night and day difference between shrimpgod and goaheadgod.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.

Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Immutability? Is that where you can't make the MoFo shut the F up?

In the scripture that you referenced God is speaking to Noah who wasn't under Hebrew law... because it didn't exist.

Yet god is omniscient, which meant he should have foreseen the need for the new laws brought about later and not have even stated what he did in the beginning.

The only logical explanation is that man created god, because man is fallible.
