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, You said "If someone loses their salvation, they can repent and return" ... but, Hebrews 6:6 says that is impossible ... Quoting Hebrews 6:4-6, "For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, (5) and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, (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." |
Bible Answer: Hi, you have to study a little more in-depth on that passage, but the exact meaning shows the impossibility of repenting WHILE he crucify to himself the Son of God. The word ANASTAUROUNTAS, for crucify, is a present participle. So WHILE they crucify Him, it is impossible. If they quit crucifying Him, then it is no longer impossible to renew them again to repentance. Is it likely that they will repent? I would say it is pretty unlikely. Thanks for the note, have a good day. |
