Bible Note: Hi Tim, I have appreciated discussing this with you as well! I did a survey of some of my commentaries last night, and found each one I looked at (Scofield, Henry, Jaimeson Fauset Brown, Chuck Smith, David Guzik) all considered the Hebrews 6 passage to be speaking of non-christians. Of course each one had a different spin on it, and I am not sure how much I really gained by reading these. David Guzik brought up that of all the words used to describe these people, faith was not one. Like I said to Ed, ultimately, in my life, it really comes to semantics in how this issue relates to me. Either a person is "born-again" and "dies again", or the fallen away was not reborn to begin with. Either way, they are in serious trouble. To the one who is walking and abiding in Christ, let us continue do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God! Love in Christ, Mark |
