I'm sure all this is true if you say so, but the point still stands that in the Old Testament the writer of Samuel (or was it psalms) said that Yahweh doesn't change and his law is perfect while Jeremiah (still in the old testament) says that he will give a new covenant.

There new testament doesn't even come into the argument I'm making.

And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.
1Samuel 15:29

No sir, Yahweh never changed, he just revealed his agenda in stages.

Eg, The Tabernacle Moses was instructed to build in the Wilderness existed in heaven. The 40 days and 40nights Moses was up in Horeb, was used to show Moses exactly what the Tabernacle should be like,so that he wont make any mistakes. Moses built it. But even that Tabernacle was a shadow of what the real Tabernacle ahd be, I mean the one Moses built.The real Tabernacle was the Body of Christ. Christ was the real thing.

The purpose of the Tabernacle was for sacrifices, Christ is that Sacrifice.

So Moses went to heaven and saw the body of Jesus and then built a replica of that body which was the Tabernacle that he built.

I hope you realise that tabernacle just means covering, and the tabernacle that Moses built was a tent.

No. Moses was shown the exact copy of the Tabernacle in a vision in Mount Horeb so that he wont make a mistake while building the earthly Tabernacle.

And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was showed thee in the mount.
Exodus:25:40

From verse 1 of Exodus 25 down to 40 were instructions on the Tabernacle and what shd be done in it, Who is permitted to go into it and do the sacrifices.
Only the High priest was allowed to go in there to do oblation for himself and for the people, but Christ went in there wen he died. The curtain which separated the Outer court from the Holy of Holies was turn apart, thus, enacting and activating the New Covenant. And the New Covenant grants access to outsiders who are not Jews by blood to worship Yahweh in fulfilment of the Prophecy of Isaiah in Hebrews...

But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
Hebrews:9:11

Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
Hebrews:9:12

For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
Hebrews:9:24

I said the Tabernacle is now the body of Christ because, we now go to God through Christ the Great High Priest, no longer through the earthly priest who goes in there once every year to do oblation.

Suggested answer:

http://www.gotquestions.org/Invisible-Pink-Unicorn.html

Question: "What is the Invisible Pink Unicorn argument?"

Answer: The Invisible Pink Unicorn argument states that since the existence of an invisible pink unicorn cannot be disproven, it is just as valid to believe in an invisible pink unicorn as it is to believe in God. This argument is offered by atheists in an attempt to show that belief in God is both self-contradictory and irrational. Supposedly, the fact that the Invisible Pink Unicorn is defined in conflicting and unfalsifiable terms means that God, whom the atheist is targeting, is no more believable than the Invisible Pink Unicorn. Just as Flying Spaghetti Monsterism isn’t actually a meaningful argument against religious belief, Christianity in particular, the Invisible Pink Unicorn is an attempt to avoid discussion by mocking a superficial shadow of faith.

For instance, the contradiction of the unicorn’s being both "invisible" and "pink" is meant to satirise the supposedly paradoxical attributes of God. But this criticism is contrary to established history. Theologians have spent considerable time demonstrating the logical consistency of God. But, of course, that kind of in-depth thinking is precisely what the Invisible Pink Unicorn argument is meant to avoid. Like internet memes or ridicule, the Invisible Pink Unicorn argument is meant to short-circuit understanding by appealing to a shallow, caricatured version of what's being criticised.

The biggest weakness in the Invisible Pink Unicorn argument is that it presumes that belief in God is entirely grounded in the claim that God cannot be disproved. Since the unicorn cannot be disproved by any means, so the argument goes, there is just as much reason to believe in it as there is to believe in God. Again, this argument is an example of an incomplete understanding of Christian theology, missing as it does a major philosophical and historical aspect of Christian thought: the idea that there are positive reasons suggesting the existence of God.

The Invisible Pink Unicorn argument is wrong to associate faith with an inability to disprove something. Major historical cases for the existence of God, such as the cosmological, teleological, and ontological arguments, don’t make claims based on an inability to disprove. Rather, they claim to provide positive, logical evidence of a deity. And they are supported and inspired by actual observations. Belief in Judeo-Christianity, especially, is bolstered by positive evidence. According to the Bible, general human experience (Romans 1:18–22), science and nature (Psalm 19:1), eyewitness testimony (2 Peter 1:16), written Scripture (John 5:39), correspondence (Acts 17:11), and objective evidence (Luke 1:1–4) all combine to point to the existence of a particular deity: the God of the Bible.

No atheist is expected, let alone obligated, to accept any of that reasoning, of course. If the Invisible Pink Unicorn is a pointless and powerless attack on the Christian God—and it is—such a fact does not mean that God exists by default. However, there is a profound difference between informed dissent and ignorant caricature. The Invisible Pink Unicorn, as a thought exercise, is just a modern version of Russell’s teapot. As such, it only demonstrates the weakness of any proposition that has no defense other than being unfalsifiable.

Christianity, the Bible, and the Christian God, however, are based on far more than being unfalsifiable. Positive evidence and a cumulative case have always been part of the Judeo-Christian tradition. Those who attempt to use the Invisible Pink Unicorn against the concept of God are not making an intelligent argument; they are being fallacious and deceptive.

19Then the temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of His covenant appeared in His temple. And there were flashes of lightning, and rumblings, and rolls of thunder, and an earthquake, and a great hailstorm. Revelation 11


I wonder what happened to the tabernacle in Heaven that Moses copied. It seems that after the temple in Jerusalem was built the was no longer any tabernacle in heaven, only temple.

When did the tabernacle become a temple? Is it that in Heaven God first had to make a temporary use of a tabernacle due to lack of resources and then later as finances improved he finally managed to built a proper temple for himself?
