1 | What is interpretation of Hebrews 6:4-6 | Heb 6:9 | fundamentals | 220813 | ||
Hebrews 6:4-6 has always been a problem text for a lot of people - myself included. There are two aspects that I ponder. The first is in relation to the concept that "it is impossible.....to renew them again to repentance" if they "fall away". I seek comments and opinions as to whether this means that those who renounce Christ or turn their backs on Him once they have been saved - can never again come to the cross in repentance. The second aspect is that if we sin, we "crucify again for themselves (ourselves) the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame". Does this mean that each time we sin Jesus must be re-crucified in order for us to come back to him? What degree of sin must we commit in order to make Christ suffer his death again each time we fall? Or is this simply a reminder that our sin hurts God deeply? I realize that this is one of the sore points between the Arminian and Calvinist views of salvation and it is a difficult passage, however I am currently in a Bible discussion group that is pondering this passage right now and I would appreciate any thoughts that anyone (Arminian or Calvinist) has on the passage. God Bless. |

Mark those in this passage and you see a different group of people. Verse 9 explains that they are not of the those. In other words they cannot go back to the old covenant since they are now under the new covenant. The animal sacrifices occurred once a year for atonement. When Jesus sacrificed his life it was a perfect sacrifice and occurred only once. So anyone who goes back to the old covenant is showing that theirs is not a genuine conversion. | ||||||

Interesting answer, if a little obfuscated. I am fully conversant with the concept of Hebrews as a replacement for the Jewish law, however it doesn't really answer the question of how it applies to today. | ||||||

The first step in inductive study is to observe the text. This would cover studing the complete book of Hebrews which would includes cross references and looking up any words not understood. The second step is interpretation which would determining what the passage means. The last step is application which covers how does the passage apply to me. The author gives these practical applications throughout the book. | ||||||

Sorry, your attempt to instruct on how to study the bible is not very helpful to a discussion of the issue. | ||||||
