It's just so amazing that people try to change Christianity time & time again. Now, I didn't say we shouldn't accept change or accept the fact that changes are happening all these while. However, for any changes, the principles of the Christian faith should remain unchanged.
For example, the identity of Jesus as both God & Man. We shouldn't compromised on such information just to suit people. The methods or ways of the Gospel to be presented to the people needs constant & rapid change to go in line with changes surrounding us. Christians shouldn't isolate itself from the world nor should they compromised the truth to the world.
A word from the bible. 2Timothy Chapter 3:
For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
Below is from the news:
"THE TEN Commandments, one of the most negative documents ever written." With that provocative claim posted high over two city streets, controversial cleric Francis Macnab yesterday launched "a new faith for the 21st century", a faith beyond orthodox Christianity.
Dr Macnab says Abraham is probably a concoction, Moses was a mass murderer and Jesus Christ just a Jewish peasant who certainly was not God. In fact, there is no God, in the usual sense of an interventionist deity - what we strive for is a presence both within and beyond us.
Dr Macnab, a noted psychotherapist and executive minister at St Michael's Uniting Church in the city, said the new faith was necessary because the old faith no longer worked.
"The old faith is in large sections unbelievable. We want to make the new faith more believable, realistic and helpful in terms of the way people live," he said. More

He's from the Uniting Church (the representative of methodism in the west), which on the whole is pretty much messed up theological. Pity that our methodist brethren have ended up like this :\
