Why would an infallible god need to revise its laws?
Serious answer from a non fundamentalist Christian: Because the old testament laws were intended for a specific society, to pave the way for Jesus. They were also a mix of religious rules and secular laws. They weren't (all) intended to be universal moral laws that apply to all of humanity.
No-no... Jesus didn't change the laws... He completed them! The rules are all still valid, they just don't apply, except the ones that are convenient, or affect those people...
Because an infallible God is trying to herd very fallible people, which is way harder than trying to give a group of angry cats a bath.
He is also working through fallible people, which is why a personal relationship with Him is so important. That is essentially what Christ taught.
Just saying what their scriptures teach. You don't have to believe it, but it is much more consistent than people claiming to be Christian would make it seem.
