OK, you lost me on that one...explain "convention as being mutable." I'm not afraid of appearing dumb.

...And... Isn't "fixity of theology" the same as stagnant, so then your second sentence sort of doesn't agree with your first one...I think.

As the one in relation to the other. Religious precepts are eternal, as being not beyond measure, but the measure. God doesn't play dice. That much is true. There are constants. He didn't construct the universe to be at odds with itself. There are no contradictions. It is what it is, always.

Convention as defined by social trends and attitudes, that may be so ephemeral as to vary even within a single generation. The point being that whilst these changes appear as rapid to us, they occur within the same universe. They exist not independently, but interdependently.

So whatever these ra6es of change, they only confirm each other. Except that identification is biased. But the universe is not, since it accounts for all labels at once. The mistake is in assuming that those labels are the definition, when they're only language.
