I just came across this and agree with his points.... and it actually got me thinking about denominations and the fact that in spite of God being "unchanging" his followers are actually very fragmented in their doctrine and faith. It seems suspect for Christians to claim God is "unchanging" while the whole of Christianity is in constant flux.

A Vancouver sunset makes me ponder.
Currently I'm pondering the many verses in the Bible that most christians avoid. Deuteronomy 22 has many interesting passages, most of which are filled with God's complete disrespect of women... On the flip side, God lets men in on the fact that if they decide to rape a virgin... don't get caught.
Deuteronomy 22:28-29
New International Version (NIV)
28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 29 he shall pay her father fifty shekels[a] of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.
