Muslims could ask the same thing about their theology. One's belief in something doesn't render it either true or false. The veracity or falsity of something is not determined by one's belief either way, no matter how confident or comfortable one may be with it.
If God exists, does our own failures and shortcomings in description of Him, negate Him?
Does a novel prove that the story is true?

My only point being that if our understanding of God has undergone revision, that does not necessarily invalidate that understanding. It is possible that we simply understand God better (not completely, of course not, but better than the fishermen and salesmen 2000 years ago). 'Twas my point. The fact that the Church harmonized Scripture to the extent that it has does not invalidate it. It may mean that it has been nudged towards better description than formerly.
