Our concepts of God change. They have changed and continue to change. What modern theists believe is not what the ancient Israelites prior to the exile believed.

And so the question when it comes to Christian identity is not whether our beliefs match theirs, but whether the overriding trajectory is being followed.

via Mystics and/or Atheists.

What modern doctors believe is not what the ancient Israelites believed.

What modern astronomers believe is not what the ancient Israelites believed.

What modern ethicists believe is not what the ancient Israelites believed.

Doctors, astronomers, and ethicists hold different views because of what observation has taught us about the world since ancient times. I don’t think it’s out of line for theologians to change their ideas based on observation too.

Can you be a Christian if you aren’t an Ancient Christian? I hope so.

A couple of quotes I found in my internet wanderings.

I don’t know why people are so keen to put the details of their private life in public. They forget that invisibility is a superpower.
— Banksy

Anxiety is practising failure in advance. Anxiety is needless and imaginary. It’s fear about fear, fear that means nothing.
— Seth Godin

If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present.
— Lao Tzu

Who are you when you’re alone? When no one is watching? What’s left then?
