Bill Hull at Bible.org has an interesting post comparing Bible knowledge to manna that the Israelites ate during their wilderness wanderings. They were to gather only what they needed each day, except for the Sabbath, when the day before they were to gather enough to include the Sabbath. If they gathered more than they needed, it would rot.
From his post:
I was taught that the more bible I could get into me, the more mature I would become. I don't believe that anymore, at least in the way it was then framed. What my teachers meant was that the mind of Christ was transmitted via knowledge, I believe as Julian Green implies, it is transmitted through obedience.
Enjoy.
