no. 21 Has God changed his mind?

Hebrews 13:4-8

4Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. 5Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."[a] 6So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"[b]
7Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith. 8Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

For some strange reason we think that God has changed his mind on the issue of Homosexuality. According to this passage, Jesus never changes, and it is also in the context of immorality. Note that it upholds the concept of marriage, keeping pure because God will judge the immoral. To try and change the understanding of Scripture based on modern philosophy is a highly dangerous manouvre. God does not change, what he hated back then he hates even now, now matter how much we try and reason it away. We are not permitted to change the Word of God - we do not have any idea what ramifications that will have. James 3:1 says, "Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more severely than others." When we choose to twist God's word, we bring extra shame on ourselves and we also bring shame on the whole church.
