Can someone please explain to me Hebrews 6:4. It seems to be saying that if you fall away from Christ, you cannot be forgiven. This does not seem to possible considering the rest of the bible tells me different. | ||||||

Greetings Ren333! Disclaimer: I approach this verse from an Arminian perspective. The way I understand Heb. 6:4 is simply this: Hebrews is addressed to a congregation made up of primarily Jewish Christians. Because of persecution and false teaching, some of these Christians were tempted to go back to Judaism. The message of Heb. 6:4 is that if you turn your back on Christ, there is no other way of salvation. The same sort of concept is discussed in Heb. 10:26-29. The concept addressed is a knowing and deliberate rejection of Christ. Both of these passages describe someone who has known Christ and rejected Him. Such a person will not be brought back to repentance. How could they? They have known Christ's love and yet rejected it. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
