NASB | 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord does not delay [as though He were unable to act] and is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is [extraordinarily] patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. |
Bible Question (short): what does this mean, is there no hope? |
Question (full): In Heb:6:4-6 it states that it is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirt, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. Please tell me what this means? does this mean if we fall that we canot go back to God? I would appreciate it if someone could help me with these verses. Please help me understand what this means.
