Does God Change?

No. The scriptures say that God is eternal and unchanging. So, why do so many "Christians" believe that the law of God (i.e."Old" Testament or Torah) no longer pertains to them? Did God change His mind? Does His law apply to everyone else BESIDES Christians?

Today, most "Christians" (read Apostate Church) believe that they are no longer under the law because they are saved from the penalty of sin simply by proclaiming their faith in Jesus Christ. Therefore they don't have to obey all of those pesky commandments anymore. HALLELUJAH! All that "Old" Testament stuff is for the Jews! NOT US "CHRISTIANS!" We can't live up to God's expectations anyway, WE ARE SINNERS, so thank God we don't have to obey His commandments anymore! Jesus' sacrifice on the cross has ABROGATED God's Law! Oh sure, we'll obey some of His commandments but we don't have to obey ALL of His commandments. Especially that darned Sabbath commandment. What was it...the fourth? We will worship God in our own way, on the first day of the week instead of on the seventh day as God commanded. Or how about this, let's erect all kinds of idols and pray to them, there is no commandment against that is there? At least not in the Roman Catholic "version" of God's Word. It's OK, Jesus has miraculously freed us from the Laws of His Father! (Insert clip of Satan jumping for joy here.) In effect, what these poor souls are saying is that God has changed the rules!

Does Christ's sacrifice on the cross really negate God's Law?

If it did, why would Jesus say "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them."? (Matt. 5:17)

If God changed His mind concerning His law, then how can you account for this verse from Malachi?

"I the LORD do not change. So you, O descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed." (Malachi 3:6)

Or this verse from Hebrews?

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." (Hebrews 13:8)

If God has changed the rules, doesn't that mean that there was something wrong with the rules to begin with? Wouldn't that mean that God is not perfect? Wouldn't it also mean that His law is not perfect? This is a physical impossibility when it comes to God. The LORD is perfect and so is His law. So obviously we are talking about error here on the part of those who espouse this doctrine. An insidious SATANIC doctrine.

7 The law of the LORD is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The decrees of the LORD are firm, and all of them are righteous. (Psalm 19:7-9)

The Christian church today should open up their bibles and read what Jesus had to say about those who share the belief that God's law (Torah) does not apply to them:

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' 23And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.'" (Matthew 7:21-23)
