<TITLE>06. Par 46-54</TITLE>L-46   Now, we want to start over here in the 5th chapter now, just for a little background before we hit the--the 6th, for it's really an outstanding something. Watch close. We're going to start about the 7th verse of this chapter. Well, let's start at the 6th verse.
As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Who in his days of his flesh, when he... offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying... tears unto... was him was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
Though he was a Son, yet learned... obedience by the things which he suffered;

L-47 Now here is where I want to get to, this 9th verse. Listen. I guess Brother Neville hit it, Wednesday. I wasn't here. Well, listen.
And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
Of whom we have many things to say,...

L-48 We leave it there on that, 'cause we're going to pick up Melchisedec in a few nights.

L-49   Now we're going to start on this, our regular study. I wish... I'll just read the rest of this for a moment, the 11th verse.
Of whom we have many things to say,... hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
For when... the time ye ought to be teachers, you have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, instead of strong meat.
For every one that uses milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
Oh, I hope that Holy Spirit is taken that right down in the bottom of you now.
For he that--that uses milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he's a baby.

L-50 You give a baby strong meat, you kill it. That's the reason so many people say, "Ah, I--I don't believe that," and walk away. Still babies! They just can't understand. They just can't grasp that Truth. It--It kills them. Great, mighty things the church should know today, but you couldn't teach It. They--they--they--they--they stumble over It. They don't know what to do with It.

L-51   Paul, speaking to this Hebrew group... Yet, scholars he is speaking to now, scholars, well learned. We find that, in a few--a few moments, very scholarly. But the deep spiritual Mystery, the church is still blinded to It. He said, "When you ought to be teaching others, you're still a babe."

L-52 Oh, I know there's many rise up and go out and say, "Oh, I don't need to go to church anymore. Praise God, the Holy Ghost has come, He's the teacher." When you get that idea, you're just wrong. For why did the Holy Ghost set teachers in the church, if He was going to be the teacher? See? There are first apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists, and pastors. The Holy Spirit set teachers in the church, so He could teach through that teacher. And if it--it isn't according to the Word, God doesn't confirm it, then it isn't the right kind of teaching. It must compare with the entire Bible, and be just as alive today as It was then. There's the real thing made manifest.

L-53   Now notice.
But strong meat belongeth to them that are... full age, even those who by reasons use... have used their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Know what's right and what's wrong, by the discernment.

L-54 Now notice, starting now on our lesson. This great background now, let's go for the 1st verse.
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ,...
What's he saying? All these first five chapters has been laid on Christ, to show who He is. Now we're leaving those principles of the doctrines of Christ.
