Subject: What is interpretation of Hebrews 6:4-6 |
Bible Note: Hi Beja Going to my Greek Interlinear Bible I find it says. Heb.6:4-6 4.) For (it is) impossible. (For) impossible the (ones) once being enlightened and tasting of the (2)gift - (1)heavenly and sharers becoming Spirit of (the) Holy 5.) and (2)(the) good (1)tasting (4)of God (3)word and the powerful deeds of a coming age, 6.) and falling away, again to renew to repentance, crucifying again for themselves the Son - of God and putting (him) to open shame. The "IF" in all actuality was more than likely added, because in the translation from Greek into English, there needed to be a connector in order for the English to sound correct to the reader. Even with the "IF" removed, I come to the same conclusion, based on what was written in the 4th. verse. "For (it is) impossible. (For) impossible" Therefore the "IF" isn't needed to understand what Paul was writing, he makes the point in the 4th. verse. He is making a declaration, it does not need to be qualified. He is in essence saying, anyone having accepted this Grace (gift) of God, and everything it entails, cannot detract from, or in any way nullify the sacrificial work of Jesus. Once becoming a child of God, He never disinherits anyone. Because of the shame it would bring upon His name to/in the world. We also should have our confidence in God. Php 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Joh 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 1Co 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. Grace be unto you lightedsteps |
