label gods word, strange it was some of the 12 jesus picked and paul to mention a few.
if god expects us to grow in understanding , that would also mean to grow in understanding to how things change or get change. since jewish christain would also mean new babe in Christ.(because the law saved no one) and since you again miss what a jewish person was suppost to do, regarding the law given to moses. that never changed at that meeting, they still had to follow the full law.
that condition and there spiritual condition had to follow , the full law, give by god to the jewish people.
what did change at this meeting was a gentile did not need to follow the full law.
and since I never asked about growth of understanding, and was looking at root, beginnings. the biggest change since moses read the law to a jewish people, happened at this meeting. to a new testament church/ churches.
and in the parable of the sower , if the seed don't have a root, there will be no growth.
happy easter brother.
Am I to believe there is no change or growth after being born again?

1 Corinthians 3:1-3 (KJV)
[SUP]
1 [/SUP]And I, brethren,
could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
[SUP]
2 [/SUP]I have
fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able
to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

ye are yet carnal: for whereas
there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
