# The evolving sacred strains the continuity constraint Dempsey takes the developmental story further than I have. Our images of God mature with us, warrior to lawgiver to moral absolute to logos; that much I hold. But he claims more: that the sacred itself changes, that the divine is not a fixed ground but a process still unfolding through us. My own notes keep the gentler version. Revelation deepens under a continuity constraint; our picture of God gains resolution like a nebula brought into focus, and continuity is the test that tells deepening from replacement. Both cannot be true. Either the ground holds still and only our seeing matures, or the ground moves, and its stillness is only the slow frames of a longer film. I leave it open. But if God underwrites our relational risk, is God also exposed to it?
