Discuss Hebrews 6 Page 11

Hello Karen: I would like for you to please go under this website to Revelation chapter 13 page 2 my post dated 12-9-14 9:54 pm. There are other post there as well concerning the rapture that I have addressed and correct. The rapture is very real and it will take place. God 's word does not lie. God cannot lie, Hebrews 6: 18.

Scary and rightfully so. My opinion which strictly is just that my opinion , is this..None of us have yet ascended. We do get weak and let our guards down. Our prayer life and church attendance slips. We do things we were not doing as a practicing Christian. We avoid the things we enjoyed most about our walk with Christ. We have on and off melancholy and, just don 't feel or, sleep like we used to. We may take up drinking again and, do things we never thought we would do. Does this sound like you, who are worried about losing your salvation? Try this. I really hope you don 't try it but, to me it would be the acid test. When you accepted Christ, you were likely in a church. Doesn 't matter just, if you can, try to go back where you were. If you cannot, just find a similar setting. Speak to him saying, "Jesus, I accepted you and, I fell from your grace. Now that I have returned to sinning, I want you to know that I really enjoy it. I don 't plan to return so, just leave me alone. " My guess is, you CANNOT do it. Oh, and while you are in an attitude of prayer, just go ahead and ask Him to please help you get back in to right fellowship with him. He will smile and say, "daughter or son , I have been right here with you the whole time!!!! "

These verses obviously do not speak of a saved person who has committed a sin and then feels the Holy Spirit drawing him to repentance. I believe this answers a question to those who claim to have been saved and then abuse grace to continue in sin. Warning to those who believe they have fire insurance and a license to sin. Sin is serious and there appears to be a point at which a believer can fall away beyond repentance. I have a difficult time understanding how that can happen to a saved individual as the bible states that you become a new creature at the time of salvation. This is definately a verse beyond my understanding as it relates to the believer or prehaps just a person who doesnt actually accept salvation although they have been drawn by the Holy Spirit, then having rejected grace fall away.

I love it! Confirmation again that we are secure in our salvation in Jesus Christ. Jehovah God is telling us that it is impossible for Jesus to go to the cross again every time we sin. As He said, "It is finished ". It is spitting in the face of Jesus all over again to think we can fall in and out of grace. verses 4,5 6

End of your STRIFE is what I see here. A confirmation by OATH! Stagger not and have Faith in the LORDS ability to save. The Law justifies or heals no one. Hebrews 7 28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.

We must not be lazy but be followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises of God.

I think it s been missed, or perhaps the folks making the comments aren t subject to falling short or sinning. Praise God for the ability to repents with sincerity. IF we fall we should come to repentance and not try to redo all that brought us to salvation. Jesus and our Father did their part, WE fell short not them we have the truth and we know what to do when we sin REPENT of it and move on Good deeds are just that and alone are as dirty rags, they are not a path to salvation or heaven, Faith and acceptance of the only son of GOD Jesus Christ is the way and the path. I believe faith will begot good works from the heart. Even your comments on this post and a simple smile could be called good works and part of our walk when done in the love of Christ...

As a boy growing up in Warri, we used swearing in the name of God as a means of judging if someone was being honest, especially an accused person. We were brought up in a society that believes that the name of the Lord must not be called in vain, or else havoc or something tragic might happen. In general, the rule is we do not swear by a lower power or deity, or our comparable equal because there is no guarantee that such lower or equal power can compel us to keep or honor our promise oath. God made promises for his children, and he really wanted us to believe and trust him. He had to swear too so that we could take him serious. But the problem was there was no one or deity greater than God by whom he could swear by, so God had to swear by His own name. God had to swear by HIMSELF, staking His WORD and his personality, two immutable things by which God can not lie. His word is settled and Malachi 3 6 tells us that God does not change.

It basically in a nut shell says the backslider will be spat out lukewarm. But have all the hope you can that God is righteous to if he does forget the good works and labors of love you have done in his name or while ministering to saints or anyone. That does not say he will it just suggests that if he did forget those things he would be justified in having done so. Because you have Crucified his Son all over again all by yourself. Which makes Jesus look like a fool for having died for you to begin with and now you with so little faith want him to die again and again and again. That is why God will judge us by our works. Those with good works get his blessing those who have the bad works spend time in the fire.

Faith is the substance of things hope for as long as we give our lives to Christ our work will be rewarded.whatever we do let it. Come from the heart and the reward will. Come from above.

this passage is talking about a select few who tasted the goodness of the word of God. Moses tasted that goodness on mount Sinai. it doesn 't need to be that awesome, but whoever has been to this level in their faith will never fall away. Romans 8 28.

I love B.J. Manuel 's comments below.... well said and so true. God does not forget and He will reward in due season if we faint not.

I ma not to expect a return of good that I have done from the one that I showed a kindness to. God is my rewarder of them that diligently seek him. He will reward every man me according to his work . God is not unrighteous to forget my work and labor of love from my heart. if done from a outward show you got your reward !!!!

God will always reward us. We just have to wait on his perfect timing and don 't give up or lose hope. He always stands by his Word.

this shows that your work or labour in Christ is never in vain for God is not unrighteous to forget our sweat and love in his name because our end is the glory of the Lord

Hebrews 6:12.Is telling us that we can not put GOD in a hurry to do that which HE has promised.So beloved let's learn how to wait upon the LORD.GOD BLESS.

This scripture is the basis of our Christian foundation. Our lives and beliefs are centered around this hope.

I dont understand the laying on of hands meaning i know some think its still being done today in the same pretense of healing as in the old prophets and disciples although i know all is is possible if God permits it but i dont think He does so my ? is where does it say in the Bible that this is still available today or does it i am just wanting to expand my knowledge of Gods word

This Hebrew 6:17 reiterates the faithfulness of God.God understands our frame that we are just humans. He gave us a tangible evidence so that we can believe his counsel. He swore to an oath- what a great God!

God remembers every act of love done in His name.Jesus looks on the heart and knows the intentions of the heart. He will never leave or forsake us.

I like B.J. Manuel's comment. It is very encouraging to know that the acts of loyalty I give to God are not in vain, and He is taking note of it. As verse 9 says, we are awaiting the promise of something better.

(Verse 12)"Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to its lustful desires." This means that after having been set free from sin, and we choose to continue in it, we place ourselves back under sin's control. That is, we loose our salvation. Hebrews 6:4 says that it is impossible to restore to faith those who have once been enlightened.

So even with our new nature, our sin nature is still with us. God will not take it away. That is, he leaves it in us to always remind us of what we have been saved from. Otherwise, we would soon forget, and think that we were always good. Or that we no longer need to be thankful for Christ saving us. This means that we have to fight against it every day. But with God's spirit we can win the fight. So as Paul says in Romans 7:25, "I thank God, the answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord."

listen,read romans 8:35-39.you will see GOD was talking about the Hebrews who went back to the old worship.Richard we all fall short,thats why GOD gives us GRACE!!!!!

this p***age implies that someone can be santcified, like in hebrews 10, and then commit apostacy after recieving the Holy Ghost and tasting his glory that can be described in Ezekiel 2:28 thus coming to know him( 2 peter 2 :20). hence you can lose your salvation.

We do not have a right to have our own thought of what the truth means in the bible so many times we want something to mean something that caters to our beliefs to justify our lives only Jesus can do that and he did that on the cross sometimes we want something to mean something beside what it really means because it goes against what we believe and says we cant do what we wanna do and go to heaven Hebrews 6 6 plainly states what it means its not a parable how do u get saved by believing confessing and repenting turning from sin so it talks about renewin again unto repentance that's plain to see not being mean but we shouldn't have to ask what it means its plainly written yes I wanna wonder cause it plainly states that I can fall away from my salvation and the only way to renew it is to crucify the old flesh to the cross again and bring me to open shame we have to confess our faults one to another and to God and he shall be just and forgive us of them

This scripture states there is an impossibility: for those who were once enlightened, who have tasted of the heavenly gift,and who were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, IF 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. They heard the gospel, but did not really hear. They tasted but did not eat, they learned of God's future, but did not believe it, they partook of what the Holy Spirit offered but did not accept. These Hebrews who would or could go back to worshipping under the old covenant were showing their inferior faith. Hebrews states over and over that Jesus is better than the angels, Moses, sacrifices, etc. To be able to go back to false worship indicates they were never really believers. Jesus said, "My sheep hear my voice, and another they will not follow."

I believe every word that it says, but what it did not say was that your brothers and sisters in christ would not forget. so why does it hurt so bad to get judas kissed,or in short for what you've done to be forgotten or overlooked.maybe it's just me.

Christian faith rests on God’s perfection.

That the man who believes in God, not just his word, but also in the person of God, needs no further facts to trust. Some will wait for God, but here we see a man who 'waited with God' till the promise would be fulfilled. Even after every probable cause had been utterly done away with, when all hope was removed, his faith sprung up and grasped that which was promised. Hebrews 6:13-18; Hebrews 11:13-16.

Jesus is an eternal High Priest after the order of Melchizedek who had neither beginning of days or ending of days. Jesus the second member of the Godhead occupies three offices: Prophet, Priest, and King. Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father, performing his High Priest duties, and He will come back as the King of Kings, and Lord or Lords. So He is not the same as Melchizedek, but like him. Study Hebrews 7:1-10 to learn more.
