And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: (1 Corinthians 2:4) When we move from milk to meat, the Spirit works in us and through us to produce demonstrations of Power as a testimony to redeeming work He does in...

Don't you see how you are not processing what I am saying here..... "You either have the Spirit of Truth teaching you or you do not, Believe all you want in this promise. You either have experienced God drawing nigh to you or you have not, Believe all you want that this promise is true. You...

Exactly.... doctrine precedes experience. Faith precedes works.... putting faith into action. We are His workmanship (Ephesians 2:8-10) First we believe and know the truth about him (Eido), then we come to Know Him (Ginosko) who is True,(1 John 5:20) the faithful and true witness. We know the...

Exactly, 1-2 is first 3-4 follows, milk to meat.

And you did not understand mine.... An unfulfilled promise is like an unpaid loan.... you cannot claim it as money in the bank until it is repaid to you. You either have the Spirit of Truth teaching you or you do not, Believe all you want in this promise. You either have experienced God...

Your example is no different than my rope analogy, your belief in the strength of the weld went from a verbal/mental assurance to an experiential one when you saw the dragsters in the Garage made of welded tubular steel. Here your using a poor simile as this is not speaking of assurance but of...

I Am saying it is all part of trusting in God, what you are saying is true, but there is more there. It is not just mentally knowing the rope will hold you but actually relying on that rope to hold you as you ascend a cliff. Until you ascend the cliff and rely on that rope to hold you then and...

My Point on this is it is one thing to mentally acknowledge assurance of salvation and another thing to "KNOW" that assurance by the one who promised it.... One is mental the other relational that requires that experience of hearing from Him.

I Used to hold this opinion as well, which in itself is not bad, in that it teaches us the doctrine of rest, but where it falls short is that it leads to our complacency, a stagnation and a satisfaction with where we are instead of pressing on to the higher calling of God in Christ. (Philippians...

Good comment in general the only thing i would change is that instead of "Self control" i would put "God control".... Again, this is not just a renewing of the mind, but a renewing of our whole focus and perspective from "Me" to Him.... It is not just mental but spiritual and surrender of our...

you just do not like my answer.... Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of...

Faith grows, like a mustard seed.... "oh ye of little faith"....

Your focus, again is all on the mind of man, not the presence of God in our lives. (See highlighted words in your comment above)... My point in this OP is that meat is when we come to acknowledge our lack of understanding the infinite immortal God and then we can learn to digest the meat as we...

Our Christian walk can be broken down into three stages of maturity, Little children, Young men, and fathers/elders. I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I...

It is a moment in time, a time of complete surrender when we stop relying on our own will and strength and intelligence and learn to trust in His providence, a concept you seem to not grasp? It is the point we stop being the Pilot, and let God fly the airplane for us... This is not a salvation...

No, By His work in us (Ephesians 2:10) His righteousness yields fruit in us.

If you have been given gold it is of little value to you until you use that gold to invest in something. If the imputed righteousness of God just sits there in the believer it is of little value as it is not producing anything..... think of the parable of the talents here, and the one who buried...

It is one thing to believe in the Gospel, and another altogether to trust in the Gospel. The first is a mental acceptance, the latter is Practical application of that belief. For grown men and woman it is harder to learn this, because of their strength and will has protected them throughout...

Beautiful picture Ziggy, God has used hardship and someone with a hard heart to teach you the meekness of Christ and put it into practice. From Strong's concordance on the word "meek" (G4239, praus) mildness of disposition, gentleness of spirit, meekness Meekness toward God is that...

Lot's of Good comments here, thank you all for participating. Most have commented on "What is meat", I would like to turn the focus to the second part of my question.... "What does the Meat of the Word mean to you and how does one begin to digest that meat?" Is there a certain realization or...
