Our life on earth is ephemeric.
There is a short way between our birth and the day of our death.
Behold, there is life after death ,how much we don't know, at least
till dooms day, which could be very soon or very far away. What will be after dooms day we don't know,may be a Big Bang in reverse.
Who is eternal? Of course God.
That is one of the most basic delusions of the monotheistic religions.
God is propagated within the society by means of his cult,his rituals and essentially through the practice of the cult.
Is the Christ of early Christianism the same as Christ of today,or is Jehovah of the antiquity or Allah of early Islam in the perception of people the same?
How coud it be ,if the life of people ,the human society ,the behaviour of humans has changed so much, that their mind has remained unchanged? Just impossible.
The practice of the cult is changing continualy in parallel with the changing of the society and together with it the perception of God.
Look at the pictures of Christ by earliest peintures.His hieratic unpenetrable look and compare it with later pictures of him as a man tortured by the approaching death on the cross.
The difference of his image on pictures prooves the changes in the mind of people in different times.
This is only a minor proof ,the major change of God is prooved by the way religions have involved themselves im politics and in leading of the society.
For instance is the God of the Inquisition of the 15-th and following
centuries in Spain possible to be accepted in our times?
There is a good reason why the Church abolished the Inquisition :because it's perception of what God demands of her has radically changed .
The examples of the transformation of the perception of God could continue indefinitely.
The problem of religions in this respect is that they can not recognize
that their God is changing because it would hurt the very heart of the religion.

It's people's perception of God that has changed and will be ever-changing.
