Although the social teachings of religion change as humanity matures-as evidenced by the fact that Christ changed certain laws and teachings-the spiritual teachings never change. For example, the teachings that we should worship God, that we should tell the truth, that sex is unlawful outside of marriage, that we should treat other people the same way that we, ourselves, would want to be treated, that we should overlook the faults of others and strive to better our own characters-these teachings will never change. However, social laws such as those relating to what day we worship, what we can or cannot eat, whether or not we fast, how we pray-these are changed according to the wisdom of God.
(5:19)
