Milk and Strong Meat
Q: Paul in 1 Co. 3:1-2 wrote that he fed babes in Christ with milk and not meat. Heb. 5:12 also speaks of strong meat. What is this meat that Christians should eat?
A: Wonderful question!
“Meat” here means solid food, not only animal flesh.
The Holy Ghost uses milk and meat as figures to describe the basic and the deeper teachings of Christ: The Word of God. Heb. 5:12-14 KJV;
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.
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.
