*sigh* God is eternal. That doesn't mean He can't change His mind. He changed His mind about hating humans, didn't He?
That's too easy of a way out, linaloki, and is in opposition of Numbers 23:19, which says, "God is not a man that He should lie, nor a son of man that He should change His mind. Does He speak and then not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?"
I'm glad I memorized that verse.
Well, perhaps He did not change His mind. Rather, then, He planned to use Christ all along, as the Prophets foretold, and it was all in His plan.
I suppose when I say "Change mind" I mean "think ahead"? I don't really know how to explain it... But I think the Laws were guides to keep the Israelites safe, healthy, and populated. Then Christ came along and the Israelites no longer needed those Laws.
