A lot of people say that some of God's laws are outdated for today.... but its God's law? How can the word of God be outdated? He knew what would be comming when He made the law.

He cannot be outdated because He told Moses to tell his brethren that "I AM" sent him. But there will always be a chasm between the natural man and the spiritual man, and never the twain shall meet.

God gave us wisdom and free will. He knew we'd use those tools to make sense of his laws when the time came. He couldn't have made laws for the 21st century way back then because he'd have been even more an outcast than he was then. It's a challenge, and it makes What Would Jesus Do even more relevant. Good luck trying to figure it out, hon. The Golden rule, Do Unto Others as you would have them do unto you, still sticks. For the details, you need to still pray over those. Good luck, sweetie. You'll surely get some points for trying to do the right thing.

TO ERR IS HUMAN.
Gods laws cannot be outdated , If the laws are outdated they are made by men..... Gods Laws cannot be outdated
Check the Quran .. You wont find a single law that is against humanity, and which needs to be corrected.....
God makes perfect things
In the Quran God mentions.
Quran Sura 5. Al-Maida

................Today I have perfected your religion for you, completed my favour upon you and approved Al-Islam as a Deen (way of life for you)..........

The 10 Commandments are the basis for modern law. Where do you get his other laws are outdated? sacrificial lambs were done away with when His own SON was sacrificed on the Cross. So what is left?

Jesus himself is the Word of God (John 1). He is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. He will never be outdated.
God's true laws, exemplified by the Ten Commandments, never change. Sometimes men develop interpretations that alter their meaning (e.g., on Sabbath, marriage and divorce, and diet); Jesus came to correct the misinterpretations and fulfill God's original intent.
For more on how to understand the Ten Commandments, see:
http://www.vatican.va/archive/catechism/p3s2.htm
Those who deny the validity of God's usually misinterpret St. Paul's warnings against the enforcing Jewish disciplinary laws on circumcision, diet, and Sabbath. Those laws don't apply to Christians, but God's moral laws do apply.
The Laws of Noah are also examples of universal laws:

God is not outdated. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. Really the only thing that changed was that we no longer need to sacrafice animals for forgiveness of our sins. Jesus Christ was sent so that we can have eternal life through Him.

Which laws? Some Christians say that Christ's sacrifice did away with OT laws and that the only law is "Do unto others...."
If you mean OT laws, which ones? The ones about how to treat your slaves, haircuts, food, clothing fibers, and that a man must marry his brother's widow? Or stoning anyone breaking the laws? Stoning to death disrespectful children grab you? So many more

Gods laws are the law of now and forever people change and write new ones. God says to follow Ceacers law when it comes to taxes and such but his laws are final.

Hello, the bible was written 2000 + years ago. Why would anyone want to back up in time and believe any of the unknowns of that day? They had NO explanations for things so they just said a god did it. Does that make sense?
Not one word makes any rational or logical sense in today's world.
