Devine Edicts And Societies
“do they leave enough wiggle-room and flexibility in their application inspite of the growing and evolving nature of societies?” This is an open ended question which I don’t believe can be objectively answered. God’s laws are eternal; there are of course exceptions as with any set of laws, however they have to be understood on a case by case basis in the application of these laws. The evolving nature of societies has nothing to do with it. If the societies evolve to become more atheistic or immoral in nature, we cannot expect God’s laws to evolve with the preferences of the societies.
