I think Randy can better explain this, but what I can say is that we still believe that God did not change. God always has been and always will be the same as what Jesus portrayed to us through his time here. Perhaps we didn't understand God quite right before Jesus came and set the record straight and showed us through example what God is really like, since He was God Himself.
I understand that may be what you guys believe in.... but it doesn't necessarily make it so.
I told Randy this before. What you believe in *may* not be in tune with reality.
People from way back then believed in something different. People in the future will believe in something yet more different (this sentence sounds weird...). Beliefs have evolved and are still evolving.
Fail #1: There was a pretty radical break between Judaism and Christianity. That's not "evolution" from Moses to Jesus.
Fail #2: Although Catholic doctrine develops (as understanding develops), our doctrines have NOT evolved over the past 2,000 years.
I don't think that the Catholic Church 2,000 years from now (if Jesus hasn't already returned) will be teaching anything differently on transubstantiation, the efficacy of baptism, the all-male priesthood, the infallibility of the Bishop of Rome, etc.
