Bible Note: I read Brown's view of Hebrews 6:4-6, he deals with it by saying scripture includes a situation that could never happen. Brown does not explain why God or the person that penned Hebrews would waste everyone's time writing about something that in Brown's opinion could never happen. I of course believe God doesn't write about things that could never happen so I see this as a very serious warning to all that handle their salvation in a trivial manner. Thanks for the reference, I think I will just stick to a literal reading of scripture instead of Mr Brown's opinion. |
