Bible Question: i fail to understand hebrews6 verse 4 thru 6...if they fall away,to be brought back to repentance |
Bible Answer: Greetings, These verses; Hebrews 6:4-6 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. These verses are pointing out the futility of the thinking of some believers that assume they can fall away and then be, as it were, resaved. The verses in Hebrews are saying it’s impossible because they would have to actually crucify Christ a second time which is impossible. It is actually the epitome of arrogance to assume that one could commit a sin so great that Jesus didn’t pay for it by what He did on the cross! It’s like saying He didn’t think of it or something along that line. CDBJ |
