The point you seem desperate to avoid is that you are saying God was an advocate of a bloody stony execution (so it was above okay it was a holy duty to perform the act). Man laying with man as woman bad, man throwing stones at man until dead HOLY.

We can give this God fellow the thumbs up for changing his mind on this but should we take him as an authority after such a hiccup?

Should we keep quoting the bit where his laws say its really bad for two consenting adult men to rub each other in the genital area now that the stoning to death bit has been excised by the redeemer being nailed to a cross by the gentiles?

If the Bible is the inspired word of God it wouldn't need to be seen through the lens of the past.

It should be timeless.

It should always make plain sense or adapt to the times through re-reading it through the times.

No matter how you re-read it, demanding the foreskins of a thousand gentiles is pretty heavy stuff for the God incarnate in the mild mannered Carpenter from Nazareth.
