Who was 1 Corinthians written to and what did Paul say about feeding them?
First Corinthians was written to carnal believers, the most carnal congregation Paul dealt with. Paul said he could not give them strong meat because they were yet babes and carnal, so he had to feed them with milk. That same letter still contains profound resurrection doctrine.
Les explains that this was the very letter written to carnal believers. In earlier studies in 1 Corinthians, this was the most carnal of all the congregations Paul dealt with. Paul said, "I can't give you strong meat because you're yet babes, you're carnal, and I have to feed you with milk." Yet in this same letter, Paul comes out with the profound, deep doctrines of our whole Christian experience, and that is resurrection.
And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
