God loves us more than we love ourselves and he shows mercy and grace to us though His Son Jesus who won us back from satin as the 2nd Adam.

God's standards have not changed... He gave the Jews 600 laws which really no ordinary man could obey all the time...These were established to train the Jews into being obedient and the result was protection by God for them. When they disobeyed, they were punished...as a people by being taken into slavery...but only that generation...e.g. slavery to Babylon. Jesus did not CHANGE any laws or rules, he just simplified them into two... (Matthew 22:37-40) He said to him: “‘You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 The second, like it, is this, ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments the whole Law hangs, and the Prophets.” Notice the last line..."on these two the WHOLE LAW HANGS... The whole law is the total Old Testament. All 600 laws. And everything the prophets said...

Truth is merely a statement of fact. Facts can change. So, the statement "Jane's got a baby" will not be true 20 years later. Having said that, I don't think you will find any absolute truths in religion.

Absolute truth Never changes. However, people are not absolute. They change from day to day. Cultures change from day to day. The earth's history - via its people - is constantly changing. When you have a baby you feed it milk. As it matures, you give it meat. People are the same in their personal growths. The apostle, Paul, spoke to this effect when he told the Greeks they were not ready for the meat of the Gospel. The New Testament itself also answers this general Q re ancient Israel, wherein it states that the law of Moses was a schoolmaster to the greater law. When the disciples askedeJesus which of all the 10 commandments was greatest, he actually answered by giving them a more advanced law to live: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, might mind and strength ... and thy neighbour as thyself." Before Jesus' death and resurrection, the incidental law was that the Israelites were to kill an unblemished, spotless, male lamb - all in similitude of the future Lamb of God - the Eternal sacrifice. Now that the eternal sacrifice has been paid, we no longer need to suffice with an incidental sacrificial lamb. BTW, even when Jesus taught the 2 great commandments, He never said, 'Get rid of the 10 commandments' ... even today, those laws will remain "absolute" ... but there were certain 'incidentals' that were able to be discarded - not "Absolutes".

It wouldn’t...if it did, then it wouldn’t have been absolute truth to begin with.

The Mosaic law was part of a covenant between God and the Jews. Jesus fulfilled most of the prophecies in the Hebrew scriptures and was the end of the law. The Jews constantly broke the covenant. Jesus instituted a new covenant to which people of any nation could be grafted in, circumcized or not. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Gal3:19-29;&version=31;77;50;51;49; Overall, evey rule was to our benefit. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Micah%206:8;%20Isa%2048:17-18;&version=15;49;8;47;9; I will try to post linkd to more scriptures later. The following is part of an article that I cut and pasted: Why the Law? 3 How we view the Law today is affected by whether we understand why Jehovah gave Israel a Law code. The Scriptures explain: “It was added [to the Abrahamic covenant] to make transgressions manifest, until the seed should arrive to whom the promise had been made . . . Consequently the Law has become our tutor leading to Christ, that we might be declared righteous due to faith.” (Gal. 3:19, 24) How did the Law do this? 4 By setting out a perfect pattern covering the various facets of life, it showed up the Jews as sinners. It became evident that, despite any good intentions and diligent efforts, they could not measure up to its requirements. Using the Jews as a sample of the imperfect human family, the Law exposed all the world, including each one of us, as sinners, liable to God for punishment. (Rom. 3:19, 20) Thus it emphasized the need for a savior for mankind, and it led faithful ones to Jesus Christ as that Savior. In what way? It identified him as the only one who kept the Law perfectly, thus the only human who was sinless. Animal sacrifices under the Law had only limited value, but as a perfect human, Jesus could offer his life as a sacrifice that would really remove sin and open the way to eternal life for all those exercising faith.—John 1:29; 3:16; 1 Pet. 1:18, 19. 5 With this background in mind, how would you answer the following questions? Was the Mosaic Law ever meant to be binding on all mankind? (Ps. 147:19, 20; Ex. 31:12, 13) Did Jehovah give any indication to Israel that someday the Law covenant would end? (Jer. 31:31-33; Heb. 8:13) Did the Ten Commandments, including the requirement to observe a weekly Sabbath, continue in force after the rest of the Law was canceled? (Col. 2:13, 14, 16; 2 Cor. 3:7-11 [as made clear by Exodus 34:28-30]; Rom. 7:6, 7) By what means did Jehovah bring the Law covenant to its end? (Col. 2:13-17; Matt. 5:17, 18; Rom. 10:4) 6 In the light of this, what is implied by arguing that the Mosaic Law is still in force? In effect, this constitutes a repudiation of faith in Jesus Christ. Why is that so? Because such a view rejects the fact that Jesus fulfilled the Law, thus paving the way for God to terminate it. To persons who professed to be Christians but who were swayed by arguments in favor of keeping the Law, or some portion of it, the apostle Paul forcefully wrote: “You are parted from Christ, whoever you are that try to be declared righteous by means of law; you have fallen away from his undeserved kindness.”—Gal. 5:4; see also Romans 10:2-4. 7 Those who argue for continuance of certain features of the Law do not fully appreciate that a righteous standing with God depends, not on one’s works of the Law, but on one’s faith in the value of Jesus’ sacrifice. (Gal. 3:11, 12) They feel that a person must prove himself righteous by such works—something that is impossible for sinful humans. It is, indeed, important to do works in obedience to commands of God and Christ that apply to Christians. (Jas. 2:15-17; Matt. 28:19, 20) These are a means of demonstrating our love and faith, and lack of them would indicate that our faith was dead. But we cannot earn salvation no matter how hard we work. No salvation from sin and death would be possible without the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Thus eternal life is a gift from God through Jesus Christ, an expression of extraordinary undeserved kindness and not payment for our works.—Eph. 2:8, 9; Rom. 3:23, 24; 6:23. 8 When the issue involving application of the Mosaic Law to Gentile Christians was presented to the governing body in Jerusalem in the first century, their decision was in harmony with these facts. They recognized that Jehovah was not requiring Gentile believers to perform works in obedience to the Mosaic Law before holy spirit was poured out on them. The decision of that governing body did list as “necessary things” certain prohibitions that were in harmony with that Law, but these were based on the Bible record concerning events that predated the Law. So there was not an imposing on Gentile Christians of a responsibility to conform to the Mosaic Law or some portion of it but, rather, there was a confirming of standards recognized prior to Moses.—Acts 15:28, 29; compare Genesis 9:3, 4; 34:2-7; 35:2-5. 9 After Pentecost of 33 C.E. the Jews themselves were no longer required by God to conform to the Mosaic Law code. And those Jews who exercised faith saw special reason to rejoice in this. Why? Although the Gentiles were also sinners and hence dying, the Jews alone had come under God’s curse because of being violators of the Law covenant. But by the manner in which Christ died—impaled on a stake as if he were an accursed criminal—he took the place of those Jews who would put faith in him and provided release for them from the penalty incurred as a result of their disobedience to the Law. (Gal. 3:10-13) Thus he provided for them forgiveness that they could never have had under the Mosaic Law.—Acts 13:38, 39. 10 The Law had, in fact, fenced the Jews off from the Gentiles. Requirements that did not apply to the Gentiles were laid on the Jews, and uncircumcised Gentiles were barred from sharing fully with the Jews in their worship. (Compare Exodus 12:48; Acts 10:28.) But once the Law had accomplished its purpose and was removed, it was possible for Jews and uncircumcised Gentiles to be united through Christ in worship of the only true God.—Eph. 2:11-18.

Because god is the boss of the Buybull and he says so, that's why

The prophets seem to predict a future time where we will know God. In the mean time, we are still learning and waiting for God's kingdom to materialize. Then we will understand things fully now we only understand things dimly. With a dim understanding do you really expect us to understand absolute truth?

The law is still the same, however the punishment changed because Jesus took upon the punishment. It would be like if I took out a loan, and the bank came to collect, but my friend Jesus stepped in a said 'Here I'll pay it" its good enough for the bank.

Absolute Truth does NOT change. The Mosaic law was directed at Israel, not Christians. Remember, Jesus instituted a New Covenant at the Last Supper.
