spiritual milk
We're aware that our enemy knows the scriptures,
(he tried being clever with Jesus in the wilderness),
and if he saw the opportunity to contaminate
our milk from day one, don't you think he would have, remembering that he see's us as more than just individuals,
he knows we are the Body of Christ.
Can we be sure that tiny poisonous lies were not hidden, and sown into the sermons that we have trusted since day one?

The point is best made in the American Standard Version ASV
long for the spiritual milk which is without guile
Dictionary.com definition of guile "insidious cunning in attaining a goal; crafty or artful deception; duplicity".
What if a tiny amount of harmful contaminate had been 'sugar coated' and slipped into our spiritual diet unnoticed.
Like ...
"a united global Church is desirable, but it will never happen in our life time, there are far too many difficulties,
it's impossible until Jesus returns".
Subliminal messages that we have all heard,
and they all support, promote and add up to,
this same accepted end belief,
global unity, 'it's impossible'.
Made even more believable because we're hearing
it from our previous knowledgeable generation,
who also drank the same contaminated milk,
as did the generation before them.
Tiny poisonous droplets of discord, carefully mixed in with our pure milk since the very beginning of our walk with Jesus.
But is this belief what our spirit heard
the day we first believed.....
(before we drank the contaminated milk infected with guile)
Galatians 5:8-9 (NKJV)
This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you.
A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
We know that this mistaken persuasion
(our unbelief in our oneness)
has had hideous consequences in reaching the lost,
a good and proven strategy for Satan.
