At least he said something finally

Okay.. so Jewel said in red, that we forget what "milk of the Word" is and that we try to start baby Christians on "steak" instead. Then YOU said, "as steadfast Christians, we should do the opposite". The opposite of what?
Dan, what is the devotional that I should revisit the most?
PM
OH YES it is.. and I didn't take anything out of context. I quoted you both verbatim..![]()
If I understood correctly, Jewel is saying that baby Christians need to be fed milk, not steak. Slave is saying that steadfast Christians should do the opposite by eating steak.
if only arguments in BDF resolve as peacefully as thisOk, time for me to speak now - Jewel was referencing blue not me by her own words in PM. She was making a general statement that sometimes not always seasoned Christians can fall into the "familiarity breeds contempt" mode and feed people meat because that is where they are at and neglect to notice the need to feed milk first.
Her statement said otherwise to me in how it was worded (and don't use Blues remarks - they are distorted and not remarked verbatim). The issue doctrinally for me was simple - She had said: "As seasoned christians we forget what ""milk of the Word"" is and want to start baby christians on ""steak"" and they choke or fall away or we lose our patience and compassion..."
So, my issue was in the word "seasoned christian" - in that way I feel a seasoned Christian or a mature Child of God would be more sensitive and willing to give in God's timing the Word in increments associated with their spiritual age as well as have complete compassion and patience in their disposition in Christ as well - that being an infant in Christ with fundamental Scriptures and themes. For they would be more Child-like and humble to the Father based on the Word, and on my testimony alike.
Jewel and I have talked in PM and have no problem with each other in this - and I am now hoping you all understand it to be something in the right context to resolve. I think those who go about serving God without having a close relationship with Jesus can do these things easily - so I pray we all remain in Christ and listen thru the Holy Spirit to His will and timing in all things and become trained in what God would have us parent others in - and how. Amen
ok, I admit, it's vain participation, arguing about "salvation topics" on BDF forums is probably the worst thing I can possibly do on cc.com.if only arguments in BDF resolve as peacefully as this
Hi Dan. I think Blue didn’t specifically have a question for you but merely “agreed” with Jewels “???” comment. It seemed as though she agreed with Jewel as she wanted clarification around your comment too.Thats easy to prove isn't it? But again do you have a question for me about what I said?
