Advanced Bible Study: The Meat of The Word
The advanced Bible study involves believers meeting regularly to read, discuss, and reflect on scripture, deepening understanding, applying it to life, and fostering growth through shared learning and community. It supports both beginners and experienced believers.
The phrase “the strong meat of the word scripture” refers to the deeper, more profound truths and doctrines of the Bible, as opposed to the basic or “milk” teachings for new believers. The term comes from the New Testament book of Hebrews, which contrasts the “milk” of elementary principles with the “strong meat” or “solid food” that is for the spiritually mature who have “by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”
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 5:14
