2801 | Partakers of the Holy Spirit? | Heb 6:6 | Ray | 3687 | ||
Hi Lifer, I'm thinking of what it means to be filled with the Holy Spirit in this forum. It appears to me that someone who partakes of the Holy Spirit could be filled. When we partake of a meal or of Bread even, we can be filled. I assure you I am not a Greek scholar, but can we as readers see that Hebrew 6:4,5 speaks of l)being enlightened, having tasted of the heavenly gift 2)and have tasted the good word of God 3)and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit. Can we infer correctly that all of that is speaking of the same thing? I submit to you that if you incorporate the idea of the power of the holy spirit in the written word of God into these verses, (rather than the Person of the Holy Spirit,)your problem of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and lack of eternal security disappears. I with the writer of Hebrews would be convinced also that if the word of God is read and understood,if we partake of the holy spirit, (even if not filled), better things are expected of us; things that accompany salvation.

2802 | 2 unchangable things | Heb 6:18 | Ray | 138329 | ||
Hi BelieverNChrist, Welcome to the forum. Hebrews 6:18, NKJ, "For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute. 17 Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath, 18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us." The MacArthur Study Bible notes say: 6:18 two immutable things. These are God's promise and His oath. The Gr. term behind "immutable" was used of a legal will, which was unchangeable by anyone but the maker of the will. End of quote. I think also that there are two things in which Abraham found strong encouragement. God swearing by Himself promises, "I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply you." From the heart, Ray |

2803 | Who is Melchizedek? | Heb 7:3 | Ray | 119650 | ||
Hi mom81, Welcome to the forum. I would suggest #8017 for your reading. Type that number in the top right corner and click on Search. Melchizadek does not have a geneology because he is a type of Christ who is our Priest and King. A key to understanding Hebrews is to understand who is being spoken of. For instance, the one who is spoken of in Hebrews 7:6 and especially Hebrews 7:13. Hebrews 7:13, NASB, "For the **one concerning whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar." Hebrews 7:13, NKJ, "For **He of whom these things are spoken..." Christ is our Priest and King and He is also our Prophet. Compare Hebrews 7:6 with John 6:14. From the heart, Ray |

Hi sweet, One might say that because of your point that He continues forever, He can GUARANTEE a better covenant. And personally, I would say that He is a Priest [sic] forever. 1) Hebrews 7:22, "so much the more also (Jesus) has become the GUARANTEE of a better covenant." We have a High (Priest) who is holy, innocent, sinless and He offered up Himself up as a Son, made perfect forever. Hebrews 8:3, "For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; hence it is necessary that this High Priest also have something to offer." 2) Hebrews 8:6, "But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as (He) is also the MEDIATOR of a better covenant." 3) Hebrews 6:20, "...(Jesus) has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. ...7:3, "Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son/ of God, He abides a (Priest) perpetually." 4) Hebrews 7:17, "For it is witnessed of Him, Thou art a *(Priest) forever according to the order of Melchizedek." 5) Hebrews 5:4, "And no one takes the honor to himself, but receives it when he is called by God, even as Aaron was. So also Christ/ did not glorify Himself so as to become a High (Priest), but [it was the One] who said to Him, 'Thou art My Son, today I/ have begotten Thee'; 6 just as He says also in another passage, (Thou) art a Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek." 6) Psalm 2:7, "...He said to (Me), "Thou art My Son, today I have begotten Thee." 7) Psalm 111:9, "(He) has sent redemption to His people; He has ORDAINED His covenant forever; Holy and awesome is His name." Ordained, guaranteed, and mediated an old and a new, better covenant in Christ Jesus. From the heart, Ray |

2805 | difference between "LORD" and "Lord | Heb 7:24 | Ray | 68186 | ||
Hi New Creature, I can't tell you about why they have a rendering that we can't even do on our word processors. The word is in all caps when it speaks of Jehovah God. Since it is awkward to print Lord Lord, it is put in all caps LORD. We believe in the triune God. We believe in the Lord God, the Lord Jesus, and know them as one Lord. So I would say that the Lord Lord is one LORD in that sense. The Jehovah Witnesses, who wonder why we have taken out the word Jehovah, would insert Him (Jehovah himself, NWT) in Psalm 110:5 of your passage here. However the "Lord who is at Thy right hand" is Jesus Himself. They deny the great High Priest according to the order of Melchizedec. Hebrews 7:22, "so much the more also (Jesus) has become the guarantee of a better covenant. And the former priests, on the one hand, existed in greater numbers, because they were prevented by death from continuing, but *He, on the other hand, because He abides forever, holds His priesthood permanently. Hence, also, He is able to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. For it was fitting that we should have such a High Priest (see, NKJ), holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners and exalted above the heavens;..." Psalm 110:5, "The (Lord) is at *Thy right hand; He will shatter kings in the day of His wrath." So I would say that we can not show the three different Persons of the triune God by using different capitalization usages. However, in this passage the all caps in comparison to the capitalized L, points out the existence of these Persons. From the heart, Ray |

Hi Tim, A source that I use has Strong's #113 for verse 1 and #116 for verse 5 for Lord. Are the other three LORD occurances YHWH? In studying this Psalm I found out that MacArthur says that the roles have been reversed in verse 5--the Father now stands at the right hand of the Son. I told New Creature that I saw this Adonay as Jesus Himself. Can I hear from you on this? What do you see from a comparison of Psalm 110:5 and Isaiah 41:10? From the heart, Ray |

2807 | Yet another capitalization question? | Heb 7:26 | Ray | 6366 | ||
I believe that we have such a High Priest unlike the high priest(s) of verse 27 who first have to offer sacrifices for their own sins daily for He is a Son, made perfect forever. I have found agreement among friends that Jesus was fully human and fully God. I have capitalized son, I have capitalized high priest as other versions of scripture have, I have capitalized God because He is not a god. My question is this: How important is it for us to think of Jesus as the Son of Man instead of a son of man? How important is it for translators to capital man when speaking of Jesus? |

2808 | Yet another capitalization question? | Heb 7:26 | Ray | 6423 | ||
Hi EdB and whoever might follow this tree. The position of high priest in NKJ is not capitalized like verse 27 but any reference to Christ is or should be capitalized. In Heb 2:9 we read, "But we do see Him who was made a little lower than the angels, namely Jeus..." Who above in verse 6 is referenced here? Do you see the lack of capitalization? |

2810 | The sinless sacrifice; He is holy | Heb 7:27 | Ray | 34977 | ||
I offer Hebrews 7:27 as an example of how capitalization of personal pronouns can point out Biblical truths; in this case the sinless sacrifice. I believe that the NASB and NKJ are incorrect in their capitalization of "first for His own sins". Jesus brought Himself as a sinless sacrifice. Hebrews 7:26, NKJ, "For such a High (Priest) was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens; who does not need..."

2811 | The sinless sacrifice; He is holy | Heb 7:27 | Ray | 35775 | ||
Hi Tim, I think that Hebrews 7:26 and 27 definitely shows the contrast between the holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners High Priest and the high priests who offer up sacrifices. It is an impossibility in my mind to consider a rendering of "His sins". This is the Son, made perfect forever, not the weak high priests. Verse 28 Further, Hebrews 7:24, "but He, on the other hand, because He abides forever, holds His priesthood permanently." Hebrews 7:17, "For it is witnessed of Him, "Thou art a *(Priest) forever According to the order of Melchizedek." Hebrews 7:21b, "The Lord has sworn And will not change His mind, 'Thou art a Priest forever.';" so much the more also (Jesus) has become the **guarantee of a better covenant." Hebrews 8:6b, "by as much as (He) is also the **mediator of a better covenant,..." Hebrews 9:15, "And for this reason (He) is the **mediator of a new covenant,... Hebrews 9:11, "But when Christ appeared as a High (Priest) of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself WITHOUT BLEMISH to God, cleanse your conscience from the dead works to serve the living God? And for this reason (He) is the mediator of a new covenant,.." ***As far as Hebrews 7:27 is concerned, I think that the most important phrase determining that it is talking about the high priests is "who does not need **daily". Hebrews 9:28, "so (Christ) also, having been offered **once to bear the sins of many,..." Hebrews 9:25, "nor was it that He should offer Himself **often, as the high priest enters the holy place year by year with blood not his own." The Son came to die for us, a holy sacrifice, now to appear in heaven itself in the presence of God for us. Hebrews 6:20, "where (Jesus) has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek." . Psalm 110:4, "The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind, 'Thou art a *Priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek.' The (Lord) is at Thy right hand;..." From the heart, Ray |

2812 | re-question of Dt.31:6 and He. 13:5 | Heb 8:10 | Ray | 138098 | ||
Hi hirotami, Here is how I compare/contrast your Scripture verses. Deuteronomy 31:8, "And the Lord is the **One who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. *He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear, or be dismayed." Hebrews 13:5, ".."I will never desert you, nor will **I ever forsake you," 6 so that we confidently say, "The Lord is my *Helper, I will not be afraid, What shall man do to me?" John 14:16, "and I will ask the Father, and **He will give you another Helper, that *He may be with you forever." 2 Cor 6:16, "...I will dwell in them and walk among them; and **I will be their God, and they shall be *My people." Romans 9:25, "As He says also in Hosea, "I will call those who were not My people, '**My people,' And her who was not beloved, 'Beloved.' 26 And it shall be that in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not My people,' There they shall be called sons of the living *God." The * and ** stars are mine for comparisons. From the heart, Ray |

Hi Steve, Thanks for you posting about Adolph Saphir's book and the comparison of Heb 9 and Lev 16. Levitics 16:30, "for it is on this day that atonement shall be made for you to cleanse you; you shall be clean from all your sins before the **Lord." Hebrews 9:20, "saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which **God commanded you." Galatians 3:24, "Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to **Christ, that we may be justified by faith." The stars** are mine of course for comparisons. Hebrew 9:13,14 Leviticus 16:8-12 From the heart, Ray |

Hi Emmaus, Can your Ezekiel 11 and Hebrews 9 references be tied together in the one Spirit? Ezekiel 11:19 and 20 tells us that we should have one heart and a new spirit within us. The Jews were to walk in His statutes and then they will be His people and He shall be their God. In Hebrews 9 we see that Christ, the High Priest is the mediator of a new covenant and we also serve the living God through the cleansing blood of Christ. Galatians 3:22, "But the Scripture has shut up all men under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given those who believe." Ephesians 2:17, "AND HE CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY, AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR 18 for through **Him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father." Ephesians 3:11, "This was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in **Him." This one Spirit, this one Father; (even when we were dead in our transgressions) He made us alive together with Christ. Ephesians 2:5. Our faith is in the Lord Jesus and the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, has given us "a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him." Ephesians 1:17.

2815 | Clean Heart | Heb 9:11 | Ray | 141031 | ||
Hi Emmaus, I was trying to answer my own question in the rest of my post, but I didn't do very well did I. I see our faith in Christ (Jesus) as being faith in a Spirit. He was God with us and God is Spirit. The faith through Him is through the one (Spirit) to the Father. And we are alive together with (Christ); that is we are one in Spirit. Psalm 51:17 says to my mind that "The sacrifices of (Spirit) are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise." We are washed in spiritual blood, drink spiritual blood, and are washed in the spiritual word(s) of God. From the heart, Ray |

2816 | His eternal spirit or the eternal Spirit | Heb 9:14 | Ray | 144704 | ||
My Study Bible has a marginal note for Hebrews 9:14 of "Or, His eternal spirit". What is suggested to you by these different renderings? Hebrews 9:14, "how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?" And with the alternate reading: Hebrews 9:14, "how much more will the blood of Christ, who through His eternal spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"

2818 | Why is Psalm ref. verse different? | Heb 10:5 | Ray | 12251 | ||
Hi Appleseed, Be assured that the words that are there are just the way that God wanted them. I believe that the writers of the OT didn't know of all that they had written. This is God's word and it is as they often said, "Thus saith the Lord." So the Psalm writer didn't know that he was predicting the coming of Christ. But I believe that we can look at Psalm 40 and incorporate for ourselves the words written. In other words, I can read, "Then I said, "Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book it is written of Me."--and realize that these pronouns should be capitalized because they are speaking of the Coming One. Psalms talks about "Thy righteousness" and "Thy truth". Hebrews is saying the same thing in that Christ has been given a body to offer for the sins of many. Hebrews 9:26, "Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself." So believe that He has come and because He came to do God's will He takes away the first (sacrifices) in order to establish the second, (His body offered once for all). Heb 10:9,10 He takes away the Law's sacrifices and offers God's grace and a new and living way; the perfect way of love. Or "Way" :) I haven't decided yet which is more accurate. But it is a great sacrifice by the blood of Jesus and He is our High Priest. |

Hi Gal5:16, Thanks for bringing up the topic again. May I ask what version of the Bible you are quoting from? I would like you to compare your "It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect" with the NASB for 2 Samuel 22:33. 2 Samuel 22:33, "God is my strong fortress; And (He) sets the blameless in His way." An alternate reading would be "God is my fortress; And He sets free the complete ones in His way." When one compares this passage with the Hebrew 10 passage we learn that we can know a new and living (Way). 2 Samuel 22:31, "As for God, (His) way is blameless [complete]; The word of the Lord is tested; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. For who is God, except the Lord? And who is a *Rock/, besides our God?" From the heart, Ray |

2820 | What does this verse mean? | Heb 10:26 | Ray | 2103 | ||
Hi prayon, The writer of Hebrews makes it a pretty important decision doesn't he? Verse 31 here says,"It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God." Compare also Heb 12:29-29 "See to it that you do not refuse (Him) who is speaking...for our God is a consuming fire." Heb 10:20 "Since therefore brethren, we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living (Way) which He inauguated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh,...Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;" Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life."
