Bible Question: I'm looking for passages that refer to the Word of God as any type of food, any suggestions |
Bible Answer: There are a couple of passages where milk is synonymous with elementary principles of God's word. Meat (or solid food) seems to refer to advanced principles of the word: 1 Peter 2 2as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, Hebrews 5 12 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! 1 Corinthians 3 2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. |
