Can moral laws change according to the Bible?

< STRONG Yes. In fact, the laws have changed in Genesis. (Biblical)

For example, the moral law "do not murder" was never given to Adam and Eve. They only had one commandment to obey... to not eat the forbidden fruit, but they could do anything else they wanted, at least try to, such as look at porn, lying, rape, murder, etc, yet remain moral.... why? Because the conditions at that time didn't require such moral laws. They couldn't hurt each other because there was no mechanism to do so and no desire at the beginning.

In other words, murder was "OK" (again, although it can't even be done since both Adam and Eve lived forever till the disobedience), but today it's bad because now people have the means and desire to kill each other.

Thus, there was a shift in morality here.



 

>> No. The moral laws are always constant.

If they aren't constant, then your moral laws are invalid.
