Law of God
___________________
Commandments of God revealed by the Manifestations. There are two degrees of law: eternal laws, spiritual in nature, which never alter, such as the law requiring man to acknowledge and worship God, and the laws of unity, harmony and attraction; and social laws particular to the Dispensation, such as the law forbidding the eating of pork in the time of Moses and the laws governing marriage in the Dispensation of Bahá'u'lláh. Both are divine in origin and must be obeyed, but succeeding Manifestations may change or modify the social laws espoused by previous Manifestations.
[BD 137]
