As there. Is an old testaments and a new testament that tells me at some point god "updated the bible". Now at this present time the bible says that being gay is wrong well what if god updated the bible again and said that being gay is ok they can get married in a church it is not sin they are welcomed like everybody else and they can adopted.

Now what im asking is how would you react to this.

Please understand that the statement I just posted is completly hypothetical and I mean no offense to it and please don't post god will never do it because your just wasting space I just stated it as a hypothetical situation

Well the New Testament and Jesus didn't come to abolish the Old Testament. Jesus came to explain and show what was meant by what was said within the Old Testament. The New Testament works completely with the Old Testament, and does not try and change it. What was stated in the Old Testament applies to us today.

So, God would NOT create additional holy texts that would completely contradict what he already said. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

I'll be honest with you when I asked questions about the testaments to other people they always said they don't follow the old testament anymore they say it is repalced by the new one (the old was for a certain era time and the new is used now).

So who told you that or is that your own opinion?

Matthew 5:17 answers your question.
"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil".

Some people don't like to follow everything God has said, and will use any excuse they can, and try to convince others that it is a valid reason so they will feel like they are doing what is right.

You must realize why God said what he said, for example when looking at the laws God said some things for health concerns, like eating pork, while other things are for spiritual concerns, like marriage laws. The Jewish leaders during Jesus' time lost site of what God was trying to tell them, which is why he abolished many different things, but he kept what God's intentions in those laws the same, and what we learn from the Old Testament is still applied to our current lives today.

For someone to say they totally ignore the Old Testament or that its entirety is irrelevant today is a pity. Some of the occurrences of the Old Testament, like the faith and obedience demonstrated by certain characters i.e. Abraham and Sarah, are for our example and some ordinances such as moral laws summarized in the Ten Commandments, marriage, parallel Jesus' commands in the NT. The OT shows us part of the picture of God's character, His love and justice, and how we must love Him. Read 1 Corinthians 10:1-11.

If there becomes an "updated bible" that condones sin then that bible would be fallible.

What if pigs had wings? :p

God made His will clear enough, He is a trustworthy God who remains the same from eternity to eternity.
I mean, come on, aren't those 66 books enough for you? Isn't it enough that God sent his only Son to teach and safe us?

Your like a little kid that nags and nags until it gets what it wants...

So you somehow worked out what im like from one post and how exactly how am im nagging here im just asking for a discussion on a hypothetical situation umm not saying its gona happen. As for you saying its not enough with the books and gods sacrifice no its no seeing how the book is contradict it self and as with Jesus dying so we all inherit sin when we are born im sorry no that's not right of some1 wronged me I wouldn't hold a grudge against his entire family tree they weren't involved and shouldn't be that's one of my problems with it.

As for saying I nag like a little kid I tell you now I haven't asked for anything since I was 5 I worked for it that's how I got to university and stay there I have to have a part time job and hey I could go on all day about my sucky childhood and how I've been different to others but you have no right to know with your attitude

No, i don't know you enough. The 'you're a nagging child' comment should only be read in context, since you apparently don't think God's mercy and his revelation to us are enough. Some of what you said might benefit from the use of interpunction by the way, since i couldn't understand everything you wrote. Discussing a topic, even something as far-fetched as this one, is made easier if you try to type so that everybody may understand it. Hey, i'm dutch, and i'm doing my best too.

I'd be cool with it, seeing as how God is the only authority on objective morality. Why does this matter?

I just like to see people opinion on things really call it personal intrest as you can see with most people who posted just really closed of on it but yet still feel the need to tell me even tho I said I don't want those comments as im looking for open people comments. Now for the reason why I asked this perseficly was because (correct me if im wrong) there was a guy who was given gold plates with new commandments from god some beloved that guy others said he was a fake and so a new branch of religion was born.

So what I was basicly asking if god did send a new testament how would you react to that situation

So to help me undrstand how the new works with the old. With things in the old testament that told you to stobe certain people or if you raped a woman you had to pay the father and then marry the woman.

How do you still follow that old testament rules with the new testament.

I'm sorry if I confused you I don't really know how to explain it

as in "poof* another bible appeared? Or a random guy said he had a revelation?
- I'd assume it was some joke

However, I always wonder, when people talk about the law, if the follow the OT rules for what can and cannot be eaten :?

the old testament contains 333 prophecies foretelling Jesus Christ.

The new testament fulfills them.

PS. New testaments do appear, you need look no further than Mormonism.

but that doesn't make them God's Word.

How would I react? the same way I did react, I walked out of the Mormon church and followed the music that echoed off of the buildings that lead me 2 miles away to a lake where a man was preaching on a stage and I watched 20 people get saved that day and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life.
