Yes, but there are many contradictions in the bible.
EX 20:14 God prohibits adultery.
HO 1:2 God instructs Hosea to "take a wife of harlotry."
Fact is, with the technology boom ranging from digital devices to nuclear weapons, the world and it's people are NOT the same as 2000 years ago.
People are more intelligent and evolved.

OK first point, there is no contradiction there at all. just misunderstanding on your part. God does, did and will prohibit adultery. Hosea was an example to Israel how God continued to love them and call them and be faithful to them even though his bride/Israel were unfaithful. God was teaching them a lesson.
Second point.
"People are more intelligent and evolved"
as if, we are no smarter than those before us. evolved is the reverse of what has happened to us. We are committing the same sins. doing the same things. we just do them in slightly different ways. nothing has changed.
If we are more intelligent then we are also more guilty. because we do the same things they did. and still have not taken the advice of Christ.
Think about it.

Ya it is! Exodus 20:14, Thou shalt NOT comment ADULTRY!
God does not change! Neither does His Word! Same for yesturday, today and tomorow!
And; Revelations 21:18,19 say, (V18) if any man adds unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. (V19) or takes away from the words of this book, God shall take away his part out of the book of life.

Any new light must agree with what is already written so there won't be anything different. Understanding the Bible comes through surrender
John 7:17
(17) If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
Also we should always pray for understanding before opening the word of God
Luke 24:45
(45) Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

Ecclesiastes 1:9 What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
The dangers of this life and the mistakes we make are not new nor are they news to God. Same old serpent, same old sins, we just seem to find more creative ways to fail Him.
God is the same yesterday, today and forever.
