21 | what sin, is fiery indignation hell? | Heb 10:26 | BadDog | 63356 | ||
I didn't realize that someone else had already posted the same question that I've just asked. I'll post an opinion. First, no, "fiery indigination" is not hell fire. In fact, fire as used in scripture seldom is such. In 1 Corin. 3 it clearly is not such. Perhaps that is the reference here. I once compared Heb. 10 w/ that passage. There are several parallels, and for those interested it makes for an interesting afternoon pursuit. If you notice it refers to the field burned as "NEAR to being cursed," which seems to parallel 1 Corin. 3 in which that fire tests the quality of ea. person's work. One with all of his works burned up will suffer loss, yet be saved, but as through fire. I would agree that, in general, this does not refer to most believers, as most are responsive to the work of the Spirit in his life. So you could refer to that person as "apostate," but I hesitate to use such a term as many would consider an apostate as one no longer (or never really) saved. I do not. We are saved by His work on the cross eternally. What is at stake is rewards and hearing "well done thou good and faithful servant!" Also, as I stated at some other point on this thread, "willful sinning" is sinning. I suppose that would just qualify it as needing a sacrifice for sins. But earlier in the chapter (10:4) he made it quite clear to the Jewish believer this was written to that the blood of bulls and goats could not possibly take away sins. Only Christ's blood did that. Hence, for the Jewish believer wanting to appropriate the blood of such animals, that just isn't available anymore. Vs. 18 summarizes: "Now where there is forgiveness of these things (vs. 17 - 'sins and lawless deeds' - which perhaps describes the 'sinning willfully' of vs. 26), there is no longer any offering for sin." I believe that is what is meant by "there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins." |

22 | 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. | ||||||
23 | What does this verse mean? | Heb 10:26 | BadDog | 63352 | ||
I agree that what has been said here is true... for the one who is seeking or confused, stuck in some cult. But how about the believer? IMO, as I've expressed in other posts on this passage, this cannot be understood outside of the fact that Hebrews was clearly wand expressly written to Jewish believers. | ||||||
24 | What does this verse mean? | Heb 10:26 | BadDog | 63351 | ||
IMO, all believers sin willfully... is there any other way to sin? Probably, but I don't think that any believer can exclude himself/herself from this category of willful and deliberate sinners. | ||||||
25 | What does this verse mean? | Heb 10:26 | BadDog | 63350 | ||
I would agree with wdc. IMO, this clearly is referring to believers. I have a question also: Does this *sacrifice* refer to the OT sacrifice? I see it as such, and so this passage would be referring back to earlier in the chapter in which the OT sacrifice system and its drawbacks is described. If we as believers consider that we should go back to following the OT sacrifice system (This letter was clearly written to Jewish believers. If we ignore that fact, I don't think there is any way to get an accurate understanding of this text.) then we don't have any sacrifice effective for us. This is notto say that we are now in our sins again, since Christ paid for them once-for-all, but there are consequences for such an action. Temporal sonsequences, IMO, but significant ones. I'd be curious what others think re. the use of *sacrifice* here. |
