NASB | Hebrews 6:6 and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 6:6 and then have fallen away--it is impossible to bring them back again to repentance, since they again nail the Son of God on the cross [for as far as they are concerned, they are treating the death of Christ as if they were not saved by it], and are holding Him up again to public disgrace. |
Bible Question:
disciplerami, - how is one saved? ... is it a gift? - how does one lose their salvation? ... do we return the gift? - how does one keep from losing their salvation? ... is it something we do/ don't do? - once one loses their salvation, are they lost forever ... has Jesus forsaken them? |
Bible Answer: Hello, losing salvation is a very strong statement. I say this because it's not just turning away from God to try to live our own lives apart from Him. In this scripture Heb.6:6 it talks about nailing Jesus to the cross all over again. So for us to lose our salvation or well what did the people who crucified Jesus on the cross do to Him. They did more than turn away from Him. They cursed Him, spit on Him, beat Him, and forcably pushed Him away. So I think we have to take some strong steps to lose salvation, but once we're there I don't think it's a matter of Him forsaking us when we've already so strongly forsaken Him. We make the choices of which way to walk. Hope this brings some clarity. |
