I love this. I think many would take the statement "theology adjusts to God, not the other way around," as highly dangerous. As your examples suggest, it's necessary. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, but how we communicate that and/or how he shows himself is allowed to look or sound different. He's God, we're not, and we're called to love.
As someone who’s learns best visually, I love the comparison of constructing and adjusting theology to scaffolding we see in the city. Great read!
Yes, I think the metaphor is helpful. Thanks for reading!
