Christian7: Read it in context. "Once for all" *means* "once for all time" in this context. The emphasis in this passage is not who did Christ die for. Rather the emphasis is on the fact that he died once and for all, forever -- once for all time. King James Version Hebrews 10 (emphasis added) 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ ONCE FOR ALL. 10:11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering OFTENTIMES the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 10:12 But this man, after he had offered ONE SACRIFICE for sins FOR EVER, sat down on the right hand of God; 10:13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 10:14 For BY ONE OFFERING he hath perfected FOR EVER them that are sanctified. ************* NEVER READ A BIBLE VERSE 'If there was one bit of wisdom, one rule of thumb, one single skill I could impart, one useful tip I could leave that would serve you well the rest of your life, what would it be? What is the single most important practical skill I've ever learned as a Christian? 'Here it is: Never read a Bible verse. That's right, never read a Bible verse. Instead, always read a paragraph–at least. 'When I'm on the radio, I use this simple rule to help me answer the majority of Bible questions I'm asked, even when I'm totally unfamiliar with the verse. It's an amazingly effective technique you can use, too. 'I read the paragraph, not just the verse. I take stock of the relevant material above and below. Since the context frames the verse and gives it specific meaning, I let it tell me what's going on. 'This works because of a basic rule of all communication: Meaning always flows from the top down, from the larger units to the smaller units, not the other way around. The key to the meaning of any verse comes from the paragraph, not just from the individual words' (www.str.org/free/studies/neverrea.htm). Grace to you, kalos :-) |
