"Remember that it is not hasty reading, but serious meditation on holy and heavenly truths, that makes them prove sweet and profitable to the soul. It is not the mere touching of the flower by the bee that gathers honey, but her abiding for a time on the flower that draws out the sweet. It is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most, that will prove to be the choicest, sweetest, wisest and strongest Christian." (Thomas Brooks)
If you are afraid to hand a new believer a Bible and say read, because you are worried that if you are not there to explain it to them they might end up with theological beliefs contrary to yours, you might be holding to the wrong theological system.

My desire is not merely to know theology, but to live it. But you can't live it if you don't know it!

I trust the bible in the hands of any believer whether they be new at it or not. The bible teaches us that we have an unction from the holy one that guides us into all truth. When anyone has the spirit of God, I don't think they will be led astray. God is able to take care of believers, new or old. Bible study is important for us all. We must study to show ourselves approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth, according to the scripture. May God bless all who share the word of God in spirit and in truth.
