You couldn't have gotten away with all that in the year 100.

But every century the Sermon on the Mount becomes buried deeper and deeper in the past, and you can restate and repurpose the Bible a little more.

So it slowly evolves from one form to another which eventually barely resembles the original. Or, should I say, it is devolving?
