First Principles
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Hebrews 5:12-14  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) "First principles" are fundamental, rudimentary, elementary things. There are things with which we begin, but we have to get off the dime, as it were. Something must be done in order to increase, because if we remain at the starting point, we prove to be not very usable. How much good to human society is a baby? Even so, a newly begotten Christian is not a great deal of use to. This situation is remedied by growth. From unskilled to skilled, from oblivious and uncomprehending to discerning—a process happens? It is an integral part of the way of God. It is how He writes His laws into our hearts. John W. Ritenbaugh The Covenants, Grace and Law (Part 19)

Hebrews 5:12  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) They had regressed to the point where they were now babes again—where they were just about as carnal as the unconverted. John W. Ritenbaugh Conviction and Moses
