What if God changed his mind?

[QUOTE="Theokhoth"]

I fear that if I answer that I will create a hole in space/time.

I already did, sry.

Dammit, Gabu; this is why we can't have nice universes :xxaos

I can't help the fact that I'm a theoretically necessary being.

What if God changed his mind on things since the Bible was written? He might have pushed the ten commandments down on his list of priorities. He might now like gays, hate slavery, and even tolerate anti-death penalty activists. Does this not factor in to someone's thinking when reading the Bible for moral guidance? The Bible was written 3-4000 years ago. God might be a liberal by now :oBourbons3

If you can't help that, does that make you less than maximally excellent?xaos

Of course not, silly.

Satan got cancelled :(xaos

Since God is all-perfect and everything, changing His mind about something at any point would imply a level of imperfection. I don't pretend to know how He thinks, but it's probably safe to say He's still a conservative. Of course if He did change His mind, He'd be even more popular.

I don't think time would pass for God in the same way as it does for--

Oh, funny time. God?! A Liberal?! Why don't we just call him Satan then? HAHAHAHA:|:P:lol:

To answer...it's impossible given the qualities assigned. But he doesn't dislike gays, isn't for slavery, and forgives everyone that seeks it.

Actaully he hates gays, hate to burst your bubble there, well he did free the jews from Isreal, then again he did allow slavery in Isreal (not the beating type of slavery though), and yeah he does forgive all that seek it.

No, he doesn't hate gays, he hates the act of being gay.

I'm sure someone's already pointed it out, but you are mistaken about some things. Namely it was written 2000ish years ago. The earlier scripture was written earlier sure, but when people refer to "The Bible" they are usually speaking of the old an new testament together. Also, alot of the things you mentioned were changed in the new testament with the arrival of Jesus, so I guess you could say that God already changed his mind.guynamedbilly

People changed the way that they looked at God. God could change anything, but once he "saw that it was good" Why would he? Let alone his mind. Yes, changing his mind would imply that at one point his way of thinking was imperfect. Why else would his ideas change? They are utterly perfect, so nothing can be better than his current mindset.

Hey, Jesus Christ is the centre of christianity, and he seemed pretty liberal to me.
