the gospel is clear about adopting to the culture. 'be a greek with the greek and a jew with the jews' and 'obey the laws of the king', etc.
Also Peter says to not be hated by others b/c you're interfering with their affairs.

I don't know what this has to do with believing that successive generations progress. Let's say a majority of a future generation is satanist. Does that mean christians should adopt satanistic doctrine? You completely sidestepped my point. The idea that future generations progress is all in your head. Where did you get this idea?
Of course christians have always done a good job ignoring what their most important teachers (the Bible writers that is) told them. Jesus told us to not hate our enemies and slaughter them.... what did we do? And did you realize that those people believed in progressivism? They believed that their generation had gained enlightenment, and that they knew better than early christians.
The many many many wrongs of christianity are not b/c of the christian doctrine but b/c of the christians, who are themselves nothing more then humans. And humans are like.... stopping progression

Where do you get the idea that stopping 'progress' is inherently bad? "Progress" is just a word for what you believe and you've attached a positive word to it. But you've asssumed in the first place that you should know better than previous generations.

I'm not saying that previous generations were any better, as they believed similar to you. I'm saying that every generation believes that there is something special about them. There isn't. Every generation starts in the same place.
