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.
I understand and respect that these are your views.
However, I obviously do not think that Christianity will ever go extinct. Perhaps (and hopefully) we will gain a better understanding of it as time goes on, but I do not think the Earth will ever be around long enough that Christianity will be a thing of the past.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
