has the bible change from time to time? does god change his mind from one day to another?........i mean that decades ago churches wouldn't dare talk about birth control or sex; they had rejected stem cell and now it seems they're changing their minds about it....etc.

don't you think it's a way to manipulate the population and masses?

KENRAYF....from the top of my head...I can say that the Catholic church has "changed" the dress code...before women with cleavages or similar wouldn't be allowed in...but nowadays they are allowed

Religion is man trying to change God. God never changes. You must realize that there is a difference between Christianity and Religion.

Which church are you talking about? As far as I know, the Catholic Church hasn't changed its stance on any of the things you've mentioned, neither has the Bible.
What dress code are you referring to? First of all, your question addressed issues such as birth control, stem cell research (which they don't reject, only the use of embryonic stem cells), and sex. If you're referring to women wearing veils to Mass, then, no, the Church hasn't changed it's mind, it has only said that women need not wear the veils any longer. Stick with your main issue, don't grasp at miniscule matters in a weak attempt to push your beliefs on me or anyone else.

God didn't shut off the world after the Bible, but continued to speak to his people. Because revelation continues there are bound to be revelation and teachings that are in line with modern society. I can't imagine God would expect his children to be on their own, without any guidance. So, it's not that churches are changing their minds, it's that God is providing his people with further guidance.

Our concept of morality changes with the time because new information and new technology forces us to re-examine our previously held beliefs. So, while the bible does not change (that much) from generation to generation, our perception of the world and our places in it Does. With a changing perception, the "rules" regarding what is right and what is wrong must also change to keep up with the new discoveries. Only people who subscribe to "orthodox" ways of life attempt to live in a contemporary world with the traditional perceptions.

I don't think so, sex has been around a long time man... I mean I'm not sure it's any different because we understand sex is a gift from God not something disgusting like a curse or an evil act that makes us unworthy, because we like to have sex and enjoy the act of sexual pleasure, like wild animals. We want to have rampant, hot sex the same way our ancestors did, thank God or we wouldn't be here if our parents hadn't had orgasms

the church changes as peoples ideas and minds change. Religions need a way to connect to people or else no one would follow them

Because people change, and society changes. If they didn't adapt to the changing needs of society, they would lose their followers.

yes, the bible has changed from time to time, for example, reincarnation used to be in the bible until some english king decided he didnt like it.

It is the history of evil deception. Many who would be saved are lost.
