1 | CONDITIONAL ETERNAL SECURITY | 2 Pet 1:10 | CDBJ | 62580 | ||
Greetings Pastor Glenn; Some like to use this verse to show that it is possible for a believer to lose their salvation. Yet they don’t take into consideration that if that is the case that person would be eternally lost without any hope of being saved again, i.e. they can’t be saved again because of what it says in verse 6. Hebrews 6:4-6 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, [5] And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, [6] If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. For it is IMPOSSIBLE to renew them again unto repentance, because: They crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. The if clause in verse 6 is the second class condition in the Greek which mean in effect that it is not true, I.e. they can’t In the Greek it reads as follows emphasizing the second class condition. If they shall fall away, which they can’t, because they can’t crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. CDBJ |

Hi CDBJ, Sometime in years past according to notes in my personal copy, I had compared Hebrew 6:6 with John 19:21. I offer that comparison to you now for I can still picture unbelievers putting Him to open shame by denying that He is King. Hebrews 6:6b, "since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God, and put **Him to open shame." John 19:19, "And Pilate wrote an inscription also, and put it on the cross. And it was written, "JESUS THE NAZARENCE, THE KING OF THE JEWS." Therefore this inscription many of the Jews read, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and in Greek. And so the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews'; but, [NKJ], 'He said, "I am the King of the Jews."'" Pilate answered, "What I have written I have written."" The chief priests had said that they have no king but Caesar. Are we still crucifying our King by not giving Him glory but rather putting him to open shame? In other words, is it a sign of maturity that the NASB and the NKJ have given glory to God by the use of capitalization? I hope that God will permit other translators/interpretors to do the same. From the heart, Ray |
