God's morality is not derived by decree, but flows naturally from His perfect nature. All sin follows this constant. If God arbitrarily decided that a specific sin was now moral, He would be acting against His nature and would cease to be God.
Must be he ceased to be god somewhere between the old and new testament then, huh?

He seemed to do a fair amount of flip-flopping on the issue of slavery (as did his followers): link

Yay. Another post about slavery...as if God approved of and endorsed slavery, or even that slavery in the first century was anywhere like slavery in America 200 years ago.

Did you read the link? It's a page of all the Bible quotes that talk about slavery and you'll see many contradictions. It very much goes against the position that God's opinion on things doesn't change, so there is no way he could come down and say gay marriage is okay.

If you'd like to pick one of the supposed contradictions I'd be happy to discuss it. I don't see any contradictions on that page.
God doesn't change. What was immoral and sinful 2000 years ago is sinful today.
That's kind of strange because I keep reading Christians argue that somewhere between the Old and New Testament "God" did just that, changed his mind.
