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:
But, how do you reconcile Romans 6:23 with 1 John 5:16? Why do you keep including "a" to sin ... when the orginial does not? Do you think "there is sin to death" -is unseen? -is by someone who has never been saved? Does 1 John 1:9 say we must confess our sins to be forgiven? If so, how are we "forgiven instantly" |
Bible Answer: Oops, posted in wrong place. Searcher, You aren't trying to understand. "If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not (leading) to death, he shall ask and God will for him give life to those who commit sin not (leading) to death. There is (a) sin (leading) to death..." The implication is that a christian brother can commit sin, either to death or not. If he is commiting the sin unto death, the one seeing it is not to pray for him (because God won't forgive): there is no point in praying for the unrepentant. Reconcile Romans 6:23 and 1 John 5:16. Sin brings death, except the sin that is committed while one walks in the light: this sin is forgiven immediately. But the Christian must, once aware of his sin, have a repentant heart that confesses unto God--as David did in Psalm 51. By repentance and confession, you demonstrate to God that you don't take his gift lightly. Attitude counts for a lot. That's the primary difference between sin that is unto death and sin NOT unto death. |
