This is another rare topic that people don't talk about much, but has tremendous relevance and value in the Christian culture.
Gods verses aren't shallow and superficial, we are shallow and superficial, especially at the beginning of our faith. One of the problems I've become aware of is that most people stop at the basics of Christianity, and never move on from the elementary teachings of Christ Heb. 6:1.
But if we put time and effort into our studies, you'll find like I did, that God's word is a bottomless well of wisdom and knowledge, for our lifetime of growth and maturity.
We're never to stop studying and growing in Gods word until we pass.
1st Cor. 3:1-3, (1)"And I, brethren, could not speak to you as spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to babes in Christ.
(2) I give you milk (Which in Koine Greek is "gala"), to drink, not solid food ( Meat or "Broma in Koine Greek,or denser meat), for you were not yet able to receive it. Even now you are not able,
(3) for you are still fleshly. For since there is still jealousy and strife among you (Pretty much like in all the forums I have belonged to, here also), are you not fleshly, and are you not walking as fleshly men?? - Like many do here, hence the need of moderators and administrators to keep the unity. So, many here still drinking the "MILK."
Heb. 5:12, "For though by this time you ought to br teachers, you have need again for some one to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need MILK , and not solid food ("BROMA" - MEAT).
1st Peter 1:1-2, (1)"Therefore, putting aside all malice, and all guile and hypocrisy and envy, and all slander,
(2) like newborn babes, long for the pure milk of the word, that by it you may grow in respect to SALVATION !!

To me, this is nothing more than encouraging ALL OF US to never stop growing, never allow ourselves to accept the elementary teachings in church, but simply do as the "BEREANS" did in the book of Acts, thay checked all teachings, even Paul's and Silas teachings, for truth.
Simple stuff !!

By the way. Learning Koine Greek isn't a big deal.
It's just the natural progression of going deeper into learning our faith and honoring God's command to grow and mature in Christ, moving beyond the "MILK" towards the "MEAT" of His word.
