There is no lack of voices that keep telling us that we need to change our beliefs to correspond to modern views. You know, all that "wrong side of history" stuff. "We've progressed," they tell us. "All that 'bible' stuff is outdated and you probably don't understand it anyway." So there are calls to revise our theology and get in line.
The word, "theology," is literally "the study of God," where "theos" refers to God and "logos" refers to "study." We're told to change ours. So here's my question, my musing. If we're supposed to change our theology to align with our societal views, who is the "theos" in that term? Isn't it "societal views" and not ... you know ... God? Or, more precisely, aren't they telling us to replace God with their ideas as god?
Makes sense (Rom 1:21-23, 25; Rom 8:7; Eph 2:1-3; 1 Cor 2:14; 2 Cor 4:4).
