"Spiritual Sloth is incompatible with Christianity." (The Biblical Illustrator)
In Hebrews 5, the writer put forth an earnest warning to the readers concerning the necessity of advancing to a state of being full-grown whereby they could discern spiritual things.
The reason being was because many had become "dull of hearing."
They had become so slow in spiritual progress.
They had become slow of understanding or apprehending the things of God.
Their religious knowledge became so defective - blunted as opposed to being sharp.
They had little or no desire to hear, learn, or attend to what they had heard.
The Holy Spirit had "many things to say" to them, but they could not "hear" them for they were "dull of hearing."
This, in turn, produced many "miscarriages" under the Word of God!
And, it was all due to their own sloth, negligence, and depraved affections.
