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. |
Subject: what does "falling away" mean? |
Bible Note: Hi Tim, Your post is a little confusing! You quote 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. You suggest that the person is to ask God for forgiveness? Do we have to ask God to forgive us of our sin or does it say that He is faithful and will do it every time if we will just confess it to Him? Confess, Koine Greek, HOMOLOGEO, assent, to name or cite as in a courtroom case. They reason God is faithful and can forgive us is because the sin has already been to court, and the penalty of that sin was paid for by His Son, Jesus. Why should I ask God to do something, forgive sin, when He already said he would; what the Father wants me to do is own up to it and name it to Him. Do we really need to ask God to do something that he already said He would do if we would just confess it? I don’t mean to be critical but isn’t that what it says? In love, CDBJ |
