How times change but God's word does not

[chrisfaith100]

Peace to all.

Firstly, bear in mind, papers, books and journals written, as well as all conferences
and other meetings that have taken place throughout the centuries, should never supercede Holy Scripture.

Holy Scripture, the Old and New Testament, is the heart and soul of the faith.

I wanted to put forward a point in general concerning all religions. I mention the church,
and I mention Christianity/Catholicism because that is my faith, but as I say, this
will apply to any religion.

I wrote this because I wanted to try and give people something to consider…

Whilst times change and always will, the word of God and the Holy Scripture does not.
This is the only thing that has remained constant throughout the centuries.

Principles that are acceptable in the church today, in the year 2014, were not accepted in the church in 1904.
Principles that were acceptable in the church in 1904, were not accepted in the church in 1704.
Principles that were acceptable in the church in 1704, were not acceptable in the church in 1504.
Now this formula can be taken back to the time when the church was founded.

And because all this has happened in the past, in the future, this is how it will also be, because over 2, 000 years of history has told man this.

Principles that will be acceptable in the church in 2104, were not accepted in the church in 2014 (our year).
Principles that will be acceptable in the church in 2304, were not accepted in the church in 2104.
Principles that will be acceptable in the church in 2504, were not accepted in the church in 2304.

So, when man asks today (2014), I can’t believe that was not accepted in the church however many years ago, so the same will be said of the men of this day. Men two hundred years from now, or even in one hundred years from now, will say, I can’t believe that was not accepted in the church in 2014.

Now this will go on until one day there will be little of God’s message left, but on each of those centuries, men will say, it is not wrong because that is our law and principles at the time.

So one thing I do know, man will always change laws to keep with the times of man…but God’s law and his word will always remain the same…

Only God knows if a man has sinned.

Changes by man always exist. They come and go like the wind… God’s word does not.

Well the very fact that women work today and people are allowed to marry outside the church are both examples of changes. In 1904 is would have been considered really bad for a women to work unless her family was really poor and she was in service or a laundress or unmarried. Marrying outside the church to someone who is from a different christian faith or of a totally different faith would have been considered at one time unheard of and very bad.

It is still a primary duty of women to care for their children. However, I think the Church considers this a question best left to the parents and based on the welfare of them and their children.

The Church still does forbid mixed marriages, although a person may be given a dispensation to have one.

OP, is this about the halal meat thing? Yes, absolutely, God’s word remains the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow, but the ways in which it affects our lives does not. Example: We are commanded to honor our parents. Unchanging truth. However, honoring our parents is very different in suburban America than in a !Kung community of the Kalahari Desert. Different local applications.

If this IS about the halal meat, you’re still wrong. If not, my apologies for jumping to unfounded conclusions.
