Does Ezekiel 20:25 prove that God's laws needed to be changed?
One common myth concerning scripture is that God gave ancient Israel one set of laws, realized His mistake and gave an entirely new set of laws during or after the ministry of Jesus. Different scriptures are taken out of context to support this. One such example can be found in Ezekiel. Does Ezekiel 20:25 prove that God's laws needed to be changed?
The best practice with any such question is to begin with a reading of the passage:
"Therefore I also gave them up to statutes that were not good, and judgements by which they could not live . . . ."
Some see this as an acknowledgement on God's part that the laws He had given them were not sufficient, and needed to be replaced by a far gentler law. Note that this is not the view taken by king David who in Psalm 19:7 stated:
"The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul . . . ."
It is important to notice that Ezekiel does not record God saying that the laws He gave them were not good, it states that He gave them up to statutes that were not good. Because they had rejected His laws, He allowed them to be swept away by false doctrine and to see the results of living by a different set of laws than those outlined by their Creator.
Paul uses similar language in his epistle to the Romans. Speaking of a people who have rejected the mere notion of God—certainly applicable to our present day as well—and what God would allow to happen to them
