SORRY IF YOU ARE NOT READY FOR STRONG MEAT...
Strong meat to those of full age to discern both Good and Evil, so give milk to those not ready yet?
Hebrews:5:14: "But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil."
God want us to
1) FULLY GROW in HIM[JESUS]
when we are just born again
from a stage as a new-born Baby
till we are weaned.
1Peter:2:2: "As newborn babes,
desire the sincere milk of the word,
that ye may grow thereby:"
Then God want us to
2) FULLY LEARN HIS WORD[JESUS]
when we are learning, listening, speaking, talking, expressing and understanding
whatever [meat of His Word] our FATHER teaches us
everyday till we be of Full age.
Ultimately God want us to
3) FULLY FOLLOW HIM[JESUS]
when we are walking, worshipping, working and waiting
till we become like HIM[JESUS]
[Strong meat of His Word]
Only after weaned[from milk],
can we eat meat?
then strong meat?
1Corinthians:3:2: "I have fed you with milk,
and not with meat:
for hitherto ye were not able to bear it,
neither yet now are ye able."
Hebrews:5:12-14: "For when for the time ye ought to be teachers,
ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God;
and are become such
as have need of milk,
and not of strong meat.
For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness:
for he is a babe.
Butstrong meat belongeth to them that are of full age,
even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Only after we are weaned from Milk will God then teach Knowledge and make to understand doctrine?
Isaiah:28:9: "Whom shall He teach knowledge?
and whom shall He make to understand doctrine?
them that are weaned from the milk,
and drawn from the breasts."
Weaned means no more sucking
or to Win from Milk?
To be able to eat Meat?
Strong Meat?
Genesis:21:8: "And the child grew,
and was weaned:
and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned."
1Samuel:1:22-24: "But Hannah[Samuel's mother] went not up;
for she said unto her husband,
I will not go up until the child[Samuel] be weaned[stop sucking],
and then I will bring him,
that he may appear before the LORD,
and there abide for ever.
And Elkanah her husband said unto her,
Do what seemeth thee good;
tarry until thou have weaned him;
only the LORD establish His word.
So the woman abode, and gave her son suck until she weaned him
[scripture defined weaned as end of sucking milk?].
And when she had weaned him,
she took him[Samuel] up with her,
with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour,
and a bottle of wine,
and brought him unto the house of the LORD in Shiloh:
and the child was young."
1Kings:11:20: "And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son,
whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house:
and Genubath was in Pharaoh's household among the sons of Pharaoh."
Psalms:131:2: "Surely I have behaved and quieted myself,
as a child that is weaned of his mother:
my soul is even as a weaned child."
sucking child is different from the weaned child?
Isaiah:11:8: "And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp,
and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den."
Only after weaned, can an woman conceive?
Hosea:1:8: "Now when she hadweaned Lo-ruhamah,
she conceived, and bare a son."
