Well, they changed the words 'dragons' to 'jackals' and 'satyrs' to 'wild goats' in the bible

Anti-semitism has fallen out of favor since WW2.
The messages of tolerance and peace and discouragement of violence has become the more prevalent message.

interesting question. a cutting-edge study has shown that fundamentalist and evangelical christians are the LEAST in all likelihood to stick with christ's easily teachings and examples. Christ change right into a liberal, who recommended feeding the undesirable, healing the ill and helping those a lot less fortunate than you. He change right into a freaking socialist. inspite of the indisputable fact that the beliefs supported and fought for by fundies and evangelicals are the full opposite of what christ taught. So, i might want to assert christ's followers will finally end up destroying his faith. I also needs to communicate about that atheists are some distance extra knowledgeable about the bible and faith than those who stick with it. in truth, the further fundamentalist you're, the a lot less you learn about the e book you supposedly stick with.

It hasnt really. It tries to, taking on the guise of Creation Science and Intelligent Design in an attempt to make itself sound smarter, but it isnt succeeding.... If anything, it is only becoming less powerful as a tool of oppression.

It changes with society. When society condoned slavery, Christianity condoned slavery. When society was against slavery, Christianity suddenly became against slavery. The same holds true of many other things.

It hasn't, only certain denominations have.
The doctrine is the same, the teachings of Jesus haven't changed, and true disciples of Christ have the same spirit as Christians over the centuries.

Christianity hasn't changed, but people have tried to change Christianity. It is now common to claim Christ would approve of abortion, sodomy, contraception, fornication, adultery, etc.
