1 | What does this verse mean? | Heb 10:26 | wdc | 2002 | ||
What does this verse mean and how is it applied today? | ||||||
2 | What does this verse mean? | Heb 10:26 | prayon | 2035 | ||
I believe that it tells us that if you are made aware that some action you do is a sin but choose to continuously ignore the teaching you are rejecting Christ and God's most precious gift. There is but one way to salvation and that is through Jesus Christ. He is the only way to forgiveness and eternal life. When you turn your back on Him there only remains the "fearful prospect of judgement and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries" (Hebrews 10:27). One way this can be applied today is if you are in a religion that does not believe in Jesus Christ and you reject the truth, and choose to stay where you are at, you have closed the only door to salvation there is. | ||||||
3 | 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." Later, Ray V.H. |

4 | Is the consuming fire in Heb. hell fire? | Heb 10:26 | BadDog | 63353 | ||
Is this "consuming fire" one and the same as the fire of hell or the lake of fire? IMO, no. This is not referring to eternal damnation. I'd be interested in what others think, and why. | ||||||
5 | Is the consuming fire in Heb. hell fire? | Heb 10:26 | Robert Nicholson | 63391 | ||
Baddog: In Hebrews 10 1-18 we have a comparision of the Old Covenant under the law in comparision to the new covenant in Christ. In the old covenant it was impossible for sins to be forgiven and yet in Christ the Lord says "Their sins and iniquites I will remember no more" V.17 From verse 19-25 we have exhortations to the believers which should mark those who have been forgiven in Christ. V.26-31 Paul is not accusing any believer of this, but describes a hypothetical situation. "If we sin wilfully" This has the sense of deliberate disobedience to the truth. In other words if a person appears to know that Christ died for our sins and yet diliberately turns agains the truth "there is no more sacrifice for sins" Death was the judgment of God to those who despised Moses law" Do we think that the judgment of God against apostacy will be less for those who dispise and "hath trodden under foot the Son of God...?" Those who have deliberately turned against the truth have nothing to look for but the judgment of God at the most fearful level v.27 and v.31. I hope this helps a little Robert |

6 | Robert, so is it the fire 1 of damnation | Heb 10:26 | BadDog | 63452 | ||
Robert, Excellent points. This section probably does refer to apostacy... though I would say (not sure if you'd agree) that those believers who commit apostacy are saved... it's a free gift of ETERNAL life. My view is that this fire is NOT the fire of hell. It appears that you don't agree w/ that, but I'm not sure. So, let me ask again: "Is this 'consuming fire' the fire of hell/lake of fire - eternal damnation?" Thanks, Robert. Bob |

7 | Robert, so is it the fire 1 of damnation | Heb 10:26 | Robert Nicholson | 63484 | ||
Brother Bob: The reason I was careful about using the word Apostate is that I do not believe that a saved person can become an apostate. I would say that the word of God supports the view that apostates will suffer eternal damnation. As I expressed in the last post, it would appear that Paul is not accusing them in Hebrews 10 but is warning them those who may be wavering between accepting the truth or going back to the sacrifices of old; that they either accept the truth (Christ) or the judgment of God. I would agree with you that the "fiery indignation" of verse is not referring to the lake of fire of Rev. 20, but is referring to as you have quoted "our God is a consuming fire" Heb. 12:29 and Deut. 4:24. In Deut.9:3 God is portrayed as "a consuming fire" who completely judges them who turns against him. Would you think that we could look at God as "a conmsuming fire" from two perspectives: (a) That those who stand before him in their sin will be judged righteously and the fire of his judgment will leave them empty handed in view of eternity. (b) Those who have been redeemed and forgiven will also stand before the Judgment seat of Christ and their lives will be judged. For them the sin question was settled at Calvary, however, the fire will try their motives and works and as explained to the builders of 1 Cor. 3:12-15 everything will be manifiest "because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is" v.13 There is no question at this judgment as to the eternal security of those being judged. For the Christian we will not end up empty handed. ", who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God."(1 Cor. 4:5) Forgive me if I have go on too long Robert |
