AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 12:17 For you know that later on, when he wanted [to regain title to] his inheritance of the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no opportunity for repentance [there was no way to repair what he had done, no chance to recall the choice he had made], even though he sought for it with [bitter] tears.

Bible Question (short): seeking repentance |
Question (full): My question is based on the following verse. Heb. 12:17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. Question; If I am reading this verse in the proper context, it appears to me that Esau sought repentance, but could not find it. If that is the actual case then is it also possible for others to seek repenatnce without finding it? In what instance could this be possible? I am curious because in another verse I read where God commands all to repent. So does God command us to do something that may be an impossibility? Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent Please give me some scriptural context to base your opinion on Peace New Creature |
