Hebrews 5:12-14 Spiritual milk vs. meat



12 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.
13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
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.
-Hebrews 5:12-14 King James Version (KJV)


A baby can only be given milk rather than meat. Only as a child matures can it be given meat. In like manner, spiritually, mankind need first to receive the milk of the Gospel which is the simple basic teachings of the Gospel as revealed by the Orthodox Priests. Only those who are spiritually matured enough can receive the Teachings of the Ascended Masters because those who are not ready will not be able to mentally chew on them in order to digest them and therefore they will be rejected as of no worth when in fact they are of the greatest worth.
