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 Note: Zach, indeed your excerpted quotations from one of C.H.Spurgeon's sermons fall far short of reflecting his total exegesis and fine conclusions on Hebrews 6:4-6. Spurgeon viewed the passage as being one of the foremost in all Scripture to support the doctrine of the perseverence of the saints. Please read carefully the entire sermon and you will then fully understand how Spurgeon could, and did, maintain his position for, and defense of, the orthodoxy of the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints. You can find this sermon, by the way, at the Spurgeon Archives web site, "Spurgeon.org" and click on Sermons, then Hebrews, then scroll to 6:4-6..... I think it was Scripture, not cigars, that led Charles Haddon Spurgeon to his conclusions. --Hank |
