ADAPTATION OF TRUTH TO THE WEAK
The Use of Parables:
“Jesus' Use of Parables And with many such parables He spoke the word to them as they were able to hear it” (Mark 4:33 NKJV).
Human Weakness necessitates the method:
"I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now” (John 16:12 NKJV).
Feeding the Lambs:
“Jesus said to them, Come and eat breakfast Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, "Who are You?" — knowing that it was the Lord (John 21:12 NKJV).
Simple Truth for Immature:
“I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able” (1 Cor 3:2 NKJV)
Paul’s Example:
“to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some´(1 Cor 9:22 NKJV).
Some Are Unable to Receive Deeper Truths:
“Spiritual Immaturity: For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food (Heb 5:12 NKJV).
The Bible Has Different Messages to Different Classes of People:
“I write to you, fathers, Because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, Because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, Because you have known the Father (1 John 2:13 NKJV)
