Bible Question: what does it mean to be accustomed or unskilled? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Harold P. Kent, Here is a bit of commentary on Hebrews 5:13.. "5:12,13 milk. Knowledge without obedience does not advance a person. In fact, by rejecting saving faith, the Hebrews were regressing in their understanding concerning the Messiah. They had long enough been exposed to the gospel to be teaching it to others, but were babies, too infantile and unskilled to comprehend, let alone teach, the truth of God." (1) "Hebrews 5:13 Unskillful in the word of righteousness; inexperienced, having comparatively little knowledge of the character and work of Christ, and the way of salvation through him as revealed in the Scriptures." (2) "Is unskilful. Inexperienced; who has not skill to perform anything. The word Is properly applied to one who has not experience or skill, or who is ignorant. Here it does not mean that they were not true Christians, but that they had not the experience or skill requisite to enable them to understand the higher mysteries of the Christian religion." (3) Blessings to you, Makarios (1) MacArthur Study Bible, 1997, Word Publishing (2) Family Bible Notes (3) Barnes' New Testament Notes |
