Subject: I have a related question for anyone... |
Bible Note: Hank, I've been following this discussion between you and Tim (to the best of my ability) and I have a question regarding Hebrews 10:26. Was this not a warning given to Jews who were deliberately rejecting Christ's offer of salvation? Would correlating verses be: Numbers 15:30,31 "But those who brazenly violate the Lord's will, whether native Israelites or foreigners, blaspheme the Lord and they must be cut off from the community. Since they have treated the Lord's word with contempt and deliberately disobeyed his commands, they must be completely cut off and suffer the consequences of their guilt." And since blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the only unfogivable sin, was the author telling the Jewish people that to reject Christ's sacrifice (after fully understanding it) meant that there was no other way for them to be saved? Hank, forgive how basic this question is, but I sometimes get a little confused trying to keep up with you and Tim. Thanks for bearing with me! cwade |
