Bible Question: What does chapter 2 v 2 talking about. |
Bible Answer: Peter was writing to new christians, babes in Christ. Babies wouldn't grow well if they were fed a regular adult diet. They have to have a foundation of fortified milk in order to grow properly. Babes in Christ aren't always ready for the meat of the word. Peter was telling them to concentrate on the foundation. This is my understanding. Keep in mind, all Christians were babes in Christ at that time. Christianity was something new. |
