This episode expands on the theme that Christians at a certain point should be able to teach the basics to others. If they're not, then they are on the equivalent of spiritual "welfare." Consumption of "milk" without putting the Word into practice characterizes their Christian experience, and spiritual growth is put on hold indefinitely, as they are "dull in hearing." All Christians are expected to grown in maturity into the stage of young men and women who, according to 1 John 2:12-14, have victory over the enemy because they put into practice the Word of God which abides in them. Serving the living God rests on knowledge of the Word of God and mastery of "milk," the foundational principles of the Christian faith (Hebrews 6:1-2)
