1 | Heb6:4-6 Loosing salvation or what? | Heb 6:4 | Beja | 207534 | ||
This question regards Heb 6:4-6. My question is this: could somebody who believes that you can not loose your salvation tell me how you understand this verse? In an attempt to save waisted time let me say a few things. First, I believe in the eternal security of the believer therefore there is no need to convince me of that doctrine. I'm looking how this verse is compatable with that doctrine. Second, I do not find the arguement that I have heard some people say, that this verse is talking about hypothetically "if we could loose our salvation." That explination does not fit within the context at all in my opinion. So if you do think that really is the explination, you need to argue it in good detail and show exactly how this is Paul's line of reasoning. Third, I do feel I might have my own answer, but it relies on stating that the translators of the NASB have not chosen the best translation of a particular participle within this passage. Not in definition but in terms of syntax. However, I'm not entirely comfortable with that answer so I am seeking what other answer there "might" be. Thank you in advance for your thoughts. |

2 | Heb6:4-6 Loosing salvation or what? | Heb 6:4 | lionheart | 207535 | ||
Beja, One does not nor neither can they lose their salvation. Now walking away from God is a whole other story. 1 John 3:7-9 case in point, Most will agree that we all sin every single day conscious or otherwise. Now we as disciples of Jesus Christ can do one of two things, We can repent 1 John 1:9 and continue in faith with our Lord and Savior or we can willfully choose to continue to continue in the sin that we get ourselves into 1 John 3:9 in which case that individual puts his/her self in grave danger. Folks it's up to individuals (disciples) to nurture and cultivate their walk with God daily. If we choose not to do so....? In Him, lionheart |

3 | Heb6:4-6 Loosing salvation or what? | Heb 6:4 | Beja | 207537 | ||
I do appreciate you wanting to help with my question and I appreciate your view point, but I must admit I wish you had read my post more carefully as I specifically took measure to avoid such a response. I whole heartedly agree that you can not loose your salvation. What I want to know is given that, what is being said in Heb 6:4-6? I encourage anybody who responds to this to please do re-read my original post so you can clearly see what I'm not asking and what I am asking. Please forgive any apparent harshness this might sound like over internet as it is not intended and such would be clear if I could say it in the tone which I wish, which is regretfully lost over this medium. | ||||||
4 | Heb6:4-6 Loosing salvation or what? | Heb 6:4 | Val | 207549 | ||
Consider the times. Nero was burning Rome. He was blaming the christians. To be a jewish person who was a christian would encounter even more suffering. The people were becoming weary. Ready to give up. Tired of the suffering. Hebrews is an exhortation to them to keep their focus on Jesus, our High Priest. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who He is, what He has done and where He is now. Don't give up keep your focus on Jesus. Don't go back to Judaism. Don't go back to animal sacrifices and the law. We have a better sacrifice, Christ Jesus. There is no other sacrifice for sin. Christ Jesus has paid the death of sin once for all. Hope this helps. - Val |
