I think she's trying to say that, beside God changing, humanity is also changing and growing. In the same sense that you tell your two year old not to go into the street unless you yourself have a hold of his hand, you can tell your ten year old to look both ways before crossing the street alone. Are you being inconsistent? Not really, you're just allowing for the maturation of your child.
