There is this view today that God is more tolerant of sin than He used to be in the past or even that God has changed His mind about certain sins, no longer even considering them sins. Like recent and current politicians, the modern thinking is that God's morality has "evolved." But God never changes. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). The same God of the Old Testament who did not tolerate sin is the same God of the New Testament who does not tolerate sin. God's morality has not changed and neither has He changed His mind about sin (man must change his mind about sin according to God and His word). A (g)od that changes his mind about sin or "evolves" on the issue of morality is not the God of the Bible, but is an idol (a god that doesn't exist).
Henry Morris writes:
...[T]he notion that God is merely a kindly grandfather figure is a self-serving figment of man’s sinful imagination. The New Testament reminds us that “our God is a consuming fire” and “the wages of sin is death” (Hebrews 12:29; Romans 6:23), and God doesn’t change. “The Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ” (2 Thessalonians 1:7-8).
