1 | If you are saved can you lose it | Heb 6:6 | sniper | 75609 | ||
If there is apparent contradiction between your beliefs and the Bible then youmust look to the Bible(word of God) for the answer. How did Hebrews 6:3-8 become hypothetical? I see no indication in the text that it is hypothetical. Rather the text indicates that the writer is referring to specific cases. Hebrews 10:38 says "But my RIGHTEOUS one shall live by faith; and if HE (referring back to the righteous one) shrinks back my soul has no pleasure in him. It does say that the ones who shrink back are those who were never saved. Why do you think that the writer of Hebrews admonishes the christians so many times that they must endure? They must not shrink back. They must perservere. The Bible teaches that you can turn away from God's gift. |

2 | If you are saved can you lose it | Heb 6:6 | Robert Nicholson | 75647 | ||
Sniper: It is not my intention to strive with the scriptures. I apologize for my inability to communicate. However, the audience to whom the writer is communicating to is in V.9 "Beloved we are persuaded better things of you..." The preceding warning is covering the question if they were able to turn away. I would recommend a sermon by C.H. Spurgeon on the topic. It is found at http://www.spurgeon.org/sermons/0075.htm In Heb. 10:38 I never suggested that "those who draw back" were never saved. The writer is emphasizing in V. 39 "We are not of them who draw back unto judgement, but of them that believe to the saving of the soul" How can we perervere? How can we be overcomers? In both cases we are dependent upon God for our perserverence. Peter writes "Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time." 1 Peter 1:5) Your last point. "I do not believe there are any examples in scripture of people who accepted the gift of God which is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23) Peace in his name Robert |
