Permanence and Uniformity of Divine Law
One doubt that is cast on Divine Law is that the conditions in the world always keep changing and therefore human caricature too keeps changing and this will remain so therefore law too should keep changing. But this thought is an open deception for things do not change-only their colours, aspects and shapes change. The way laws of matter do not change (except rarely) hot is hot and cold is cold, fire does not change into ice ad ice does not convert to fire, light not into darkness, darkness not into light – time always changes, day and night keep coming and going one after another, however, moments and niches of time keep changing all the time. Years keep coming one after another but the sun and the moon are the same. The natural law that was ruling water and sky thousands of years ago that is still the same today – in that neither first century could make a change nor fourteenth. Earlier too a year had twelve lunar rounds and so it has now. Yesterday there were twenty four hours for day and night and so they are today. Thus the world of God remained there where it was.
