Subject: Hebrews 6:4 |
Bible Note: One needs to under the construction in the Greek language that the New Testament was written in, when the word (if) is used. There are four classes, and the word if can mean the following. 1st class, if and it's true. 2nd. class, if and it's not true. 3rd. class maybe it's true and maybe it's not. 4th. class I wish it where true but it's not. The class condition that is found in Heb.6:6 is a 2nd class condition. I.E. It's not true. They are secure in Christ and nothing can change that position. Some use Heb.6:4-6 to say that, "see people can loose their salvation!" Well if that is the situation, they can't get it bak again because of v.6 and so much for I Jn.1:9 There is NO sin that Jesus didn't pay the price for, except the one of rejecting Him as there Savior. Now that doesn't mean that we are free to sin all we want, but that we are now free to serve. We will still sin because we are still locked in these bodys, but we are not to practice sin as we did before we were saved. Paul had this same problem, read Rom. 7 Now go back and read what it said in Heb.6:4 (IT"S IMPOSSIBLE)--I hope this helps! CDBJ |
