I am glad to hear that there are teens who want to hear that there are teens who want to hear the Word of God, and crave the Strong Meat :!: :!:

I once headed the editorials page of my college newspaper along with a squeaky-clean Christian fellow (nice guy, really) who unfortunately committed a somwhat similar double entendre in a headline once without realizing it until it was pointed out to him the next day. It still took a while to get him to see how it could be taken wrong; and when he finally did see it, though he laughed himself almost sick, he didn't stop blushing for almost an hour!
As Horace Greeley once commented, "It takes a dirty mind to edit a clean newspaper." People who get used to a certain phrase having only one meaning for them (a clean one), and make a point of living so that they seldom even come into contact with the more, uh, informal slang meanings of the words, are that much more likely to commit the very sort of communicative faux pas that they would most want to avoid. ~David D.G.

I understand what Bible text he is referring to but the way he used it = freudian slip.

Indeed. Here's the passage in question: Hebrews 5:12-14, King James Version: "For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." For those of you who are a little rusty on the Elizabethan English used by the KJV, here's the same passage in modern English: Hebrews 5:12-14, New International Version: "In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil." The clear analogy is between the notion of dietary age (e.g. being an infant vs. being weaned), and the notion of being untrained vs. well-trained in hitting people over the head with a bible.
