Unchanging principles are so because they come from our
unchanging Heavenly Father. Try as they might, no parliament or congress could
ever repeal the law of earth’s gravity or amend the Ten Commandments. Those
laws are constant. All laws of nature and of God are part of the everlasting
gospel. The Savior and His
servants do
not speak words of complacency but teach what people need to know. Through the
ages, history attests that contemporary critics have pressed Church leaders to modify a decree of the Lord. But
such is eternal law, and it cannot be altered. Not even for His Beloved Son
could God change the law that required the Atonement. Divine doctrines cannot
be squeezed into compact molds to make them fit fashionable patterns of the
day. (Elder Russell M. Nelson
