When will men learn that God is God, not man, and that He does not change? EVERY calamity, EVERY death, is a witness to the POWER OF EVIL and to the truth of the living God. The Word of God is life, and it will abide forever. Through all eternity it will stand fast. How can man, knowing what God is and what He has done, choose Satan's way instead of God's way? There is only one path to Paradise restored,—the path of obedience. -

In Daniel 7:25 we read:

“And he [the little horn] shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.”

We as Seventh-day Adventists know that this is referring to the characteristics of the Roman Papacy. During our prophecy seminars, when we come to the phrase “and think to change times and laws” we generally discuss what times and laws the Papacy has thought to change, such as the Sabbath.

But we rarely (if at all) discuss why the Papacy even thinks that God’s law can be changed. Sure, we show historical comments claiming that the Pope has been given the authority to change God’s law, but I am talking about the belief that God’s law can be changed in the first place because this is actually the root of the problem.
