1 | Restorations??? | Heb 6:6 | greatfullydead | 77235 | ||
When teaching the bible to somebody who has "fallen away"--how do you know if they are ready to come back, can a man judge this situation, what are the requirements if any? | ||||||
2 | Restorations??? | Heb 6:6 | New Creature | 77236 | ||
From what I read in God's inspired word, especially what is found in Heb. 6:4-6 an individual who has "fallen away" cannot come back, or be renewed to repentance. An individual who is drifting away, but has not fallen away still has a chance before he goes over the brink of the falls. Falling away takes place slowly and almost unnoticeably.

3 | I'm still unclear about "fallen away", | Heb 6:6 | WJcuster | 77243 | ||
Could someone go into this a little deeper? Does falling away mean turning away from God because of sin and wrong living or does it mean denying Jesus as your Saviour again after you've accepted Him once. How do you know if you or someone else has fallen away? Is it something you do or something you believe? It's a scary thought to think that I might do something that might cause me to loose my salvation. I always believed nothing could separate me from Jesus once He saved me. I'm new to the forum and hope my very first question is not too long. | ||||||

"Fall away." (Hebrews 6:6) "This Gr. term occurs only here in the NT. In the LXX, it was used to translate terms for severe unfaithfulness and apostasy. It is equivalent to the apostasy in [Heb] 3:12. The seriousness of this unfaithfulness is seen in the severe description of rejection within this verse: they re-crucify Christ and treat Him contemptuously (see also the strong descriptions in 10:29). "The 'impossible' of v. 4 goes with 'to renew them again to repentance.' Those who sinned against Christ in such a way had no hope of restoration or forgiveness. The reason is that they had rejected Him with full knowledge and conscious experience (as described in the features of vv. 5,6). With full revelation they rejected the truth, concluding the opposite of the truth about Christ, and thus had no hope of being saved. They can never have more knowledge than they had when they rejected it. They have concluded that Jesus should have been crucified, and they stand with his enemies. "There is no possibility of these verses referring to losing salvation. Many Scripture passages make unmistakably clear that salvation is eternal (compare John 10:27-29; Rom. 8:35,38,39; Phil. 1:6; 1 Pet. 1:4,5). Those who want to make this verse mean that believers can lose salvation will have to admit that it would then also say that one could never get it back again." (Note at Hebrews 6:6, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997. For all Scripture references, see the MacArthur Study Bible.) |
