Bible Note: Alright, once more. You said "it would be painful to directly answer the question in that Hebrews 3 and 4 is talking about Torah". Not painful; wrong. I don't read Greek, so I seldom turn to a lexicon, but for you I'll make an exception. The Greek word translated as "gospel" ("Euaggelizo") does not mean Torah; it means good news. The author used the Greek word "nomos" when he meant Torah. They are different words with different meanings. So get out your magic marker because you're going to have to change what the inspired author of Hebrews wrote. And then you're going have to explain away the contradition caused by your substitution of words. The words the author wrote (not the words you wish he had written) include the warning that to trust in the Torah is to trample Jesus. There is nothing ambiguous about the warnings in chapters 6 and 10. And the book of Hebrews is entirely consistent with Galations. The Judaizers where heretics and those who fell for their heresy - whether Gentile or Jew - risked paying a terrible price. No Christian in Galatia, this forum, or anywhere else should be taken in by this false teaching. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
