1 | disciplerami, it is impossible (Heb 6:6) | Heb 6:6 | Reformer Joe | 75782 | ||
"So WHILE they crucify Him, it is impossible. If they quit crucifying Him, then it is no longer impossible to renew them again to repentance." I can honestly say that this is the first time I have ever heard of such an interpretation of this text. What does it mean that they were "crucifying Christ to themselves," according to your interpretation? How does someone who has fallen away stop crucifying Christ to themselves? And how is this any type of dire warning if what the writer was "really saying" is that salvation is a revolving door, that we can be born again and again and again and again? That seems to fly right in the face of the verses in their context. Where did you get the word "WHILE" from the text? Thanks! --Joe! |

Joe, I have to admit that I learn something new every once in a while, too. Maybe you missed the entire post, but I pointed out that it is the force of the present particle. WHILE, NOT SINCE, is the idea. The Concordant Literal Version depicts this idea: Heb 6:6 and falling aside, to be renewing them again intoto repentance while crucifying for themselves the Son of *God again and holding Him up to infamy." I have seen good and righteous people turn back to the world. For all intents and purposes, they crucify Jesus again. The prodigal son is an example of someone who comes to his senses, quits his sinning, and in repentance returns to the father. |
