Is everything scripture tells us from an eternal God, so all scripture is always true?

There was a difference made when God wrote the law in our hearts through Christ nstead of writing the law in stone. We need to know if that means that God changed his mind about something, or is there another reason for this.

It is very important for us to understand because if God can change His mind then we need not believe that everything in the OT is true. God could have changed some of it,

Scripture tells us God is eternal, that God is the same always. That would mean that the law given to us in stone is the same law as the law given to us in our hearts. I believe it is the same law.

Christ explained in the sermon on the mount. Christ said “you have been told” and “but I tell you”. Christ explained later that he did not change anything we had been told, so Christ believed the law in stone was true. Then Christ explained the difference between that law given in stone and in our hearts.

Something in stone endures forever, but if it is in our hearts then love is added. God IS love. If the law is given as rules in stone without the heart it can be distorted, as we are told when the Pharisee distorted the Sabbath law so it did not include the law of love. See the parable of the Good Samaitan in Luke 10.

So, circumcision of the heart endures forever, but circumcision of the flesh was temporary. Monitoring food for the stomach to only clean food was keeping clean food for the flesh, we are to keep clean food for our spirit.

God changed his method of speaking to us, but God did not change his message.

There is nothing wrong with the law. The problem is with those who were supposed to keep it. It's called the New Covenant because it is new. Trying to put Christians back under the law is unnecessary and wrong. The law is the shadow, Christ is the reality. Some Christians like to live in the shadows. Me, I prefer the glorious light.

Just one example. The law says that we are not permitted to give false witness against our neighbour. The New Covenant says that liars will not inherit the Kingdom of God. A Christian may smugly claim that they've not testified falsely against a neighbour, yet they quite happily claim tax deductions to which they are not entitled. Legalistically, he has done nothing wrong. In God's eyes, he is a liar and a thief. Legalists seem to think that New Covenant believers are trying to dodge God's holiness and righteousness. Far from it. Those who seek the Kingdom of God are not content with mere outward observance. It is being led by the Spirit and living according to the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus.

If there were no change, we would still be stoning adulterers.

I was talking about the 10 commandments..not the Jewish law....

The law given to the Hebrew nation was ONLY for them or any converts among them.
They were a stiff necked rebellious people so God had to make their burdens heavy to bring them under subjection.

When Jesus came and fufuIlled his mission he brought a new covenant.
This covenant was not burdensome but easy. It is a covenant of love and the law is liberty in Christ.
Love covers a multitude of sin,love is kind ect.ect.

I'm not saying we do not obey commandments,we obey only those commandments that fall under love.
Love God,love your neighbor,and love one another in this we fulfill ALL the law Jesus requires.


We live under grace not the laws of sin and death!

the letter to the Colossians tells us that all the speculation, all the demands to keep the law or parts of the law, all the squabbles about the Sabbath or what you eat, means nothing with the reality that is in Christ. all of the law is only a shadow of the reality that is in Christ Jesus

These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ Col.2:17


6 Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, 7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
8 See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For rin him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, 10 and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority. 11 In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,
12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead. 13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.
15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.
16 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or ja new moon or a Sabbath.

17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ. 18 Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions,4 puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind, 19 and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.
20 If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the world, why, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations— 21 “Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch” 22 (referring to things that all perish as they are used)—according to human precepts and teachings? 23 These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh. Colossians 2

If the law that is given to us in scripture was not of God giving eternal truth but only something for a select group of people, then scripture can not be trusted for truth.

I believe Momtama123 explained it as God intended us to understand. The law in stone was meant to be eternal, but it distorts the law because the law is of love and stone does not have love. The old covenant that God improved and made so much better was of God, there are eternal truths in the old covenant. God did not completely wipe it out when it was improved because anything of God is truth.

I truly believe God is truth, and we can't wipe away any of the truths of the Lord by our fleshly reasoning. First must come God, and God is truth.
