Bible Note: Hi, Bub; I'm not sure I can help with your first question. I think it is generally agreed that Hebrews was written to Jewish believers, perhaps second-generation, who were wavering in their acceptance of Jesus. Chapters 6 and 10 both contain exhortations to keep the faith rather than reject Jesus. It seems pretty straightforward. But before we return to discussing individual words in specific passages, could you please tell me where you offer your sacrifices? Thanks. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
