This remains a strange line of reasoning to me, to which I never heard
a reasonable answer. Gods Word is eternal, God is eternal, how
can He change His own word? 

If the old rules are overrided, sometimes this could happen when rules
applied to specific circumstances, but generally this would mean that
the old rules were wrong and not the truth.
I don't think that is possible.
