Again, I’ll point out that the Lord God does not change. Man and Society does.

Therefore, if morality has shifted, even within the church then it begs the question of whether or not they are being led by society or led by God.

I would argue that the vast majority of churches are led by God. Those that are not led by God will be the ones that die out. Why? Because Jesus commanded His disciples to feed His people. Scripture and following His commands is how that happens, not following society.


I understand y'alls perspective, but it isn't reality.

There are very clear shifts in applicability, or morality as a whole, however you want to argue it, even within the Christian church throughout the years

God's law doesn't change, but man's interpretation of those laws has absolutely changed throughout the years and I don't really think there is much of a debate here. And those interpretations are generally based on societal laws.

But what you are describing is really only one morality: right of might. If it's unenforceable, anything is permissible. That's amoral.

There were a very large number of Southern Baptists that used the Bible to justify and defend segregation in the South in the 40's, 50's, and 60's.
