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: Un-repented Sin |
Bible Note: Hi Doc I asked the question, looking for an honest answer. If you feel as though I was leading the exegesis into a direction, then I humbly apologize for any misunderstanding you may have had. The question, as stated originally, then amended for clarification, I will attempt to put into a perspective that would not give you any more problems, as far as to the intent of the question. I have from time to time, on this Forum, seen posts that say things like, "There are sins that I commit over, and over again, but I always make it a point to confess my sins, in my nightly prayers, before I go to sleep." Have these Christians then not deviated from the faith? So the question arose. If a Christian believing they are saved by Grace, and also believing in the doctrine of "once saved always saved", then confessing to having sin in their lives, whereby they confess, asking forgiveness for those sins committed on a daily basis. "What would happen to these Christians if they died, before they could confess those sins?" Is that not a legitimate question? I for one cannot understand how these things can be. As you have so aptly stated., "How fearful it must be to contemplate each night that one may have neglected to confess some sin or another." But you on the other hand have apparently reconciled this question, where upon you have made the following statement. "Repentance is continually manifested in the life of one who is regenerate." Could you direct me as to the place, or places in scripture where this teaching can be found? Vintage68 |
