John wrote: > That is not how I read Heb 5:11 - 6:1ff. Well, now, very good point! Excellent passage to consider for this topic. Maturity does make one able to receive knowledge that he previously would not have been able to do. Another passage that supports your point here is John 16:12, which then would lead us to an understanding that Biblical knowing via the Holy Spirit is an even more effective teacher than having Jesus in the flesh as your personal tutor.

You illustrate that there are many sides to consider in this multifaceted topic. Can I ask another related question? Does a person require a Ph.D. in order to understand the Bible? Does a person with a Ph.D. have a better understanding of the Holy Spirit's intent in Scripture than a person with only a high school diploma? I know Terry might say he needs more information to answer this question, but maybe you can answer it? Peace be with you.
