21 | Parts of Burnt Offering and Mark 12v30? | Hebrews | dwilliamson | 217514 | ||
Lionheart Thanks for your time brother. Specifically what I was interested in was the correlation between the parts of the burnt offering (head, fat, inwards, legs (AV)) and the quotation given from Mark 12v30. Note that the head links with the "mind", the legs with the "strength", the inwards with the "heart", the fat with the "soul". So, as typified in the burnt offering of old, when the Lord was upon earth He was completely devoted to the Father in relation to His intellect, His physical strength, His inward affection, His emotions. They were all on the altar - bringing a sweet savour of rest and delight to His Father. The fulfilment of this is when he gave Himself for us as an "offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour" (Ephesians 5v2) at the Cross. Just wondered if anyone else had any further thought to expand upon this. In Him David |

22 | Un-repented Sin | Heb 6:6 | dwilliamson | 217540 | ||
Vintage I understand your problem. As to Hebrews Ch6v4-6 the answer lies in the context of the book. This epistle was written to early Hebrew people who had professed to become Christians. They had been associated with Judaism in the past but had accepted (at least nominally) that Jesus was the Messiah. Now, the danger was that having taken such a stand, when persecution came they would go back to side with the nation that had crucified their Messiah. In Hebrews 6 note the following v1-3 The pronouns are "us" and "we" v4-8 The pronouns are "they" and "them" v9-12 The pronouns are "you" and "your". I submit the following as my understanding of the passage. In v1-3 the group spoken of incorporates everyone who professed that Jesus was the Messiah (whether they had truly received Him or not). In v4-8 the group spoken of are Jewish people with unique privileges and blessings who had come under great influence and knew that He was the Messiah but, they openly rejected Him and took sides with the nation of Israel against Him therefore they "again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to an open shame" Hebrews 6v6. From v9 onwards true believers are the subject - see v9 "But, beloved, we are convinced of better things concerning you, and things that accompany salvation". The writer to the Hebrews is convinced concerning his readers of what? That they have salvation - and therefore what is stated in v4-8 will not be true of them. I will give a fuller exposition of above later if you require - i'm not at home with my notes at present! As to the 1 John 3v6-8 passage. It must be remembered that John writes in Black and white terms. The tense he uses in respect of sin is present continuous as I remember and he is stating that a person who is in the family of God will not continue sinning as a habit of life. The issue in John is this, we have received the same life as our Father "eternal life" (if we are born again), thus we will show family characteristics. So a person who professes to be in Gods family and yet consistently lives in sin and has no realisation of the fact that God is Light is not in the family of God at all. Salvation cannot be lost, see for example John10 v27-30. It does not depend on me, it depends on Christ and the value of His blood. Again, hope this is helpful, if I can clarify anything let me know. In Him David |
