Subject: What does this verse mean? |
Bible Note: I don't see anything about an apostate in the chapter. He is talking to believers that(v.19) have boldness to enter into the holiest, and then he says in verses 24 and 25: (Heb 10:24) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: (Heb 10:25) Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. These do not sound like apostates to me, it sounds like what I try to do everyday to my fellow believers. Then he closes in verses 38 and 39 with incouragement not to draw back, but to go on in the faith. Maybe I don't understand what an apostate is. Help me out here. later...wdc |
