Um, "if" there is no time to God? "A thousand years is to God a single day," etc. Do you not grasp that the Law was given to show sin, and the need for Grace? To man. We did not do sacrifices for God's benefit, but to illuminate that sin=death, and blood must be shed.
Then, when it became obvious that we could not follow
10 really obviously good rules, the need for Grace becomes obvious;
but accepting Grace is much more difficult than offering sacrifice.
Yes, it "worked" 3000 years ago, but not like is commonly supposed.
Meanwhile, nothing has changed for God, and nothing will change
in that sense, ever, for Him; perfect is perfect.
