Subject: Reconciling Rom 8:39 with Heb 10:26 |
Bible Note: kalos; I have no problem with the thoughts from the following commentaries you posted. Actually I agree with the following comments you posted. "'For it is impossible to restore again to repentance those who have (done all these things in Heb. 6:4-5) and then have fallen away...Those who want to make this verse mean that believers can lose salvation will have to admit that it would then also say that one could never get it back again' (MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997). '...it is impossible to restore [them] again to repentance..." ' . . . logically v. 4 implies that if salvation were to be lost, it would be impossible for that person to be born again, lose it, and then be born again again." I must step up to the plate and declare, that if one were to do a careful exegetical study on the Epistle to Hebrews, you couldn't help but conclude, that those mentioned in Heb. CH. 6 and CH. 10 could only be referring to individuals who actually converted from Judiasim to Christ, and were considering return to Judiaism. Nevertheless, they were true Christian believers. As the Heb. 6:4 text says, they were made "partakers (fellow sharers) of the Holy Spirit" Then in Heb. 10 it says describes those addressed as being "sanctified." I can't understand how somebody can possibly conclude that those mentioned were not true believers. That intrepretation appears to myself and others, to be in direct opposition to the natural flow of the text, and also of the entire Epistle. This will be my last reply to this thread, because this has all been discuused to the max in previous threads, and I would just as soon have others in the forum do a search for what both sides believe and have already said concerning this subject.
