1 | Hebrews 10:26 | Heb 10:26 | bouncer | 97251 | ||
First of all, this scares me. I asked the Lord into my heart when I was 12. (17 years ago). I was young and i was so happy the Lord saved me, but I couldn't quit sinning not long after that. I kept talking to the Lord, praying, reading, and asking forgiveness for my sins. Even though I tried, I couldn't truly turn away from my sins. Later on in life I rededicated my life to Him and asked Him to forgive me, and I still couldn't stop sinning. I got into cussing, being snotty with people sometimes, and watching porno so much. This went of for about 6 years I guess, and most of the time when I would watch that filth, I would feel a calling not to watch it. I would tell God I'm sorry, but I'm just not strong enough to stop. I even asked God to give me strength to stop. So just 3 months ago, i felt like i had let God down for so long, and that he deserved so much more from me, and i felt awful for the things i've done and the way i've been. i promised Him that i would give up the cussing, bad music, porno's and whatever other things came at me to do that i knew was wrong. i called my pastor and told him about my decision and told him of how bad i felt for my actions over the years. he lead me throught the sinners prayer again, and i have work diligently to stay away from all that trash for the past 3 months. i haven't went back to cussing, the music, nor the movies. i have read the bible more than i ever did when i was younger and i'm really sold out. i now realize that i have to strive to follow God's commandments, whereas that didn't really sink in before ya know? I started reading so much like i said before and i came across Hebrews 10:26, and Hebrews 6:1-8 and it caused fear in me to such an extent. That Scripture states that if we go on willing sinning after knowing the Knowledge of Truth, that there remains no more sacrifice for sins. It has scared me so bad, and i need to get a full understanding of what these Scriptures mean to me? I feel that it is talking about those who renounce their faith, reject that Jesus is who He says He is. When you get scared you ask yourself, did i do this or did i do that. I love the Lord and I want to live for Him!!! I just got lazy/sloppy in my life and never followed His commandments to stop living in those sins. But today I am not living in them, and thank God I don't participate in those anymore either. This scripture isn't talking about someone like me is it? Does a person who makes the decision to repent of their awfulness, and try to do what God wants them to do need to even consider this Scripture? An apostate never wants to come back to God correct? A person who renounces their Christian beliefs would never want to get their life straight and do His commandments correct? I don't know how far a person has to go before they reach this state, but i had gotten deep into my sinful life, but i always prayed when i thought about it or remembered. I would occasionally listened to a Christian radio station we have locally. I've went to Church and really felt that God still loves me, and I even cry when I sing praise songs about Him. I'm floating my boat, we should all praise Him!!! I just desire Him, and these scriptures scare me somewhat you know? Please write me back... God bless you.. Love, Bill |

2 | Hebrews 10:26 | Heb 10:26 | Makarios | 97252 | ||
Greetings Bouncer, All Christians go through different "seasons" in our walk with the Lord! :-) Sometimes, we feel that we are on top of the world! Other times, we feel that we are alone, and that God has forgotten us. But nothing could be further from the truth.. The Lord allows us to go through "dry spells" and periods when we do not really "feel" close to Him anymore. And He does this to test and deepen our faith in Him. The Christian life is a process of "maturity" and growing up in Him. Can a sinner be turned into a saint? Can that twisted life be put right? "Son of man, can these bones live?" (Ezekiel 37:3) There is only one answer: "Lord, You know, I don't." 'Religious' common sense says, "Oh, yes, with a little more devotion and prayer, I see how it can be done." It is so much easier to do something than it is to trust in God- we mistake panic for inspiration. That is why there are so few fellow workers working with God and so many workers who are working for Him instead. We would much rather work for God than believe in Him. Am I sure that God will do what I cannot? Have I had any spiritual work done in me at all? The degree of panic is the degree of lack of personal spiritual experience. When God wants to show you what human nature is like, He has to show it to you in yourself. If the Spirit of God has given you a vision of what you are apart from the grace of God (and He only does it when His Spirit is at work), you know there is no criminal who is half as bad as you know what you yourself could possibly be. Johnny Cash's favorite verse was Romans 8:13.. Romans 8:13 "for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live." God continually reveals what human nature is like apart from His grace through the Holy Spirit. Blessings to you, Makarios |

3 | How does Hebrews 10:26 fit my problem | Heb 10:26 | Noveta | 174215 | ||
Please someone help me. I am having marriage problems. When I spoke to my Pastor he directed me to Hebrews 10:26. Was he telling me that I am deliberately sinning. Why would the Pastor point me to this scripture because I feel like my husband is having an affair? He also pointed me to Psalms 139. It was like he was telling me I wasn't being open and honest. If you go to someone and they point you to that scripture, what are they telling you? |

Hello noveta, In all honesty I don't know that I or the Forum can be much help directly on this matter. The intent of the SBF is that of Bible Study, not counselling-related issues. We can certainly be in prayer for you:-) A couple of comments are offered. First, There are always 2 sides to such a situation. Second, if indeed your pastor went no further than to quote you Heb. 10:26, he was remiss. Since I was not there to hear the context in which he replied, I have no way to know what exactly he was telling you. May you be anxious for nothing, but in everything through prayer and thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. (Phil. 4:6) I trust my reply was of some benefit, BradK |

As well as Brother BradK The way you express yourself in your posting it seems like you have no proof that your husband is having an affair but just a feeling, unfortunately we as Christians cannot and should not go just by feelings. As the Law would say we are all innocent until proven guilty. I cant tell you what to do like brother Brad says, there is not much we can help you with in this matter, but as a mere thought is that if we say something about someone no matter what it is if is not with proof we are the one seining so lets not do such thing and leave everything to God just remember this ok, if in reality there is something going on Mark 4:22For nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; nor has anything been secret, but that it would come to light. So please don’t trouble your self with this, and as already mentioned I think that you shouldn’t have to be anxious and leave all your troubles upon God, Just leave everything in Gods hands and He shall do. Psalm 55:22-NASB-Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken. Matthew 11:28 Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Pray to God we could be of any help. In Christ Jesus777 |
