But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Hebrews 5:14
When one is spiritually mature and spiritually disciplined, then that person is able to discern both good and evil, is skilled in the word of righteousness, and should teach others what they have learned about how to study God's Word.
We cannot stay on our mother's milk and baby food forever; as we grow, we learn to eat meat... then as we mature, we learn to hunt for our food and cook the food for ourselves. Likewise, we must grow and mature in our faith and then help others to do the same.
We need to use our senses and have our senses exercised so that we are able to discern both good and evil.
People who handle abundant amounts of cash for a living have been taught to use their senses when studying what real cash looks and feels like, so that when something counterfeit comes along, they will know it because it doesn't look right and/or it doesn't feel right.
It is better to study what is right, that way you'll know when something is wrong, even though you may not be able to understand or explain it fully, you will know that it is not quite right.
Accordingly, when someone says to you that money is the root of all evil, you will know that is not quite right... it's not the money itself, it is actually the love of money according to God's Word.
"For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." 1 Timothy 6:10
Please help us Lord to study and know Your Word.
