Bible Note: Hi, Bub; I'm glad you finally admitted that you are not a Christian; that makes things much clearer. As for an allergy to Hebrews, I have none. It is not I who is running afoul of the warnings in chapters 6 and 10. Could you provide straight answers to three simple questions? (1) Do you live a life of perfect adherene to the Law? (2) If not, where do you sacrifice your animals to atone for your sins? (3) If you don't sacrifice as prescribed by the Torah, how do plan to escape the penalty for your sins? '"King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you do." Then Agrippa said to Paul, "Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?" Paul replied, "Short time or long--I pray God that not only you but all who are listening to me today may become what I am, except for these chains."' (Acts 26:27-29) I'm sure we on the forum pray the same for you. Of course, your disdain for both Christ and the Body of Christ may be a stumbling block for you.
