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: I just read Hebrews 6:4-6... it say that those who have fully experienced the things of God and then turn away from them that it is impossible for them to be brought back to repentance because by turning away they re-crucified Christ. Does anyone have any further insite on this passage? I am taking it literally and I am wondering if there is something I am missing here? |
Bible Answer: Subject: Hebrews Ch 6 vs 4-6. First read v 9 before you read 4-6, you will see that the writer is quite sure that sure that what is refereed to in 4-6 has not been committed by them, but there was a fear that it might be. As the title of this letter indicates, this group of believers were all Jews who had accepted Jesus as the Messiah, and were as a result being so severely persecuted by the majority of Jews who did not convert, and that they were seriously considering returning back to established Judaism, until such times as things had died down, and then return back again to believing in Jesus as before. The writer is stating at 4-6, that this is an impossibility,,,, and that is all that is being said here. The word of God does not disagree with itself, and cannot be made to disagree with itself. Why do you suppose that the Lord put so many verses in Scripture to teach Once Saved Always Saved if it were not so?. You are left with a choice, either you believe that this one passage at Heb 6:4-6, indicates that you can loose your salvation, and therefore the 14 passages of Scripture I refereed you to must all be wrong, or you conclude that the 14 are correct, and there must be another explanation for the 1. Regarding Rev 3:21, and similar verses which refer to what is called "The perseverance of the saints", merely confirm that true Christians do exactly that, whereas those who are not the real thing don't. Real born again believers have no alternative, they cannot, and will not perish. If they could then God would be a liar, and the God I worship is not a liar. 1st Cor 10:13, is very helpful here. |
