Divegeester would like to see some messages which I consider to be meat. First lets establish the difference between milk and meat from the writings of the Apostles :
Milk
- the reading of the Bible.
- understanding the basic precepts of Christian life
- singing of hymns
- the meetings and companionship
- the calling of Jesus name
- the praying
Meat:
- the ability to discern right from wrong and following your conscience
- the understanding of what God and Christ requires of the Christian in terms of righteous living and good works.
[1Cor 3:2, Heb 5:12, Heb 5:13, 1 Pet 2:2 ]
Why is this differentiation relevant? It appears from the writings of Paul that nobody enters the Kingdom of God by focusing on milk alone. The meat of the word of God provides the Christian with the understanding and the ability to live righteously.
In this thread I would post passages of scripture which assist in motivating the Christian [or anyone for that matter], to live good righteous lives in keeping with what Jesus and the Apostles preached. I would welcome similar posts from others as well.
I anticipate disagreement from several Christians since their interpretation of what milk and meat means is contrary to what Paul and the Apostles said.
