“For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food.” Hebrews 5:12
🔴 READING FOR THEM IS PROHIBITED!
Loving to read as much as I do, I can’t imagine not reading because of human-made laws. Today, one might wonder why anyone would want to restrict a person’s freedom to read- that’s insane! That totality in history is a lesson for you to investigate or Goggle. I don’t accept, but I can understand the fear of properly educating immigrants and slaves was terrifying.
As we pray and read God’s Word, He reveals how He is kind to everyone. And how He has compassion and love for ALL His creation. As long as people keep reading and education from those they had dehumanized of God’s creation, it legitimized their need for supremacy and kept God’s truth of their identity.
Acts 20:24, “But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.”
Just as a child excitedly recognizes words, we should be just as enthusiastic about reading God’s Bible. God’s Word has stood the test of time longer than any listed bestselling book. There is absolutely nothing that you could want to study that you can not find written about in the Bible. Ecclesiastes 1:9 “What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.”
If you are forbidden to read, or not taught to read, ask someone to explain God’s Holy Bible to you. If you have the means – get the Holy Bible on audio and listen, have it continually play, permeating your home and heart!

Joshua 1:8, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night. So that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”
