Hebrews, is an epistle written by Paul.
Some of it is for the Church, and much of it is for the unsaved Hebrews.
What I've noticed is the church likes to say the parts about losing your salvation are directed to the unsaved Hebrews and the parts about not losing your salvation are directed to the saved Hebrews, lol. That's called discerning scripture according to one's theology, instead of letting the scriptures determine your theology.
Legalists, (self savers) twist verses like this....>"if you sin willfully, there (remaineth) is no more sacrifice for sin".........into this lie..
= ""If you the Christian, sin willfully, then you are going to go to hell.""
Lol, no, that's not the argument. It's 'if you the Christian, stop believing, then you are going to go to hell'. The return to willful sin is the evidence of unbelief. At least give them the courtesy of understanding their argument correctly. No unbeliever is going to enter into the kingdom of God at the end of the age. No exceptions. No once saved always saved teaching is going to change that unmovable truth. You can argue all you want about whether or not they ever truly believed, but that does not change the fact that the person in unbelief is going to hell. Period.
Yet, these same, have sinned willfully, since the day they were saved, and probably today.
Speak for yourself there, fella. Don't project your experience onto us. I sin for far different reasons. Reasons that don't condemn me to hell because of my faith in Christ. The willful sinner does not have faith in Christ for his sinning in unbelief to be covered by Christ. Christ's sacrifice is only applied to the BELIEVING person, not the UNBELIEVING person.
So, its an amazing level of pretense and dishonesty, to try to damn a born again person to hell on a public forum or from a pulpit, by pretending that you have not sinned willfully, since you were saved. (thats one more sin you've committed).
Born again people don't reject Christ to live in willful, deliberate sin.
Unbelievers do that. You have to reject faith in Christ in order to live in deliberate, willful sin. That's why the willful sinner is going to hell, not to the kingdom of God. Wondering if that person ever really believed to begin with does not change that truth in any way shape or form. Make your teaching conform to that truth. Don't change the truth to conform to your teaching.
And this is almost as dishonest as pretending that you can keep yourself saved by "confessing sin", when in fact, you can't even remember them all.
All sins of the
BELIEVING person are instantly covered by the blood of Christ that is continually interceding for them in heaven (Hebrews 7:25). It is the person who is purposely sinning in UNBELIEF for whom the blood of Christ is not available to cover their sins. The blood is only applied to believers, not unbelievers. Willful sinners are living in a rejection of the blood. That's why the sacrifice of Christ does not remain for them and why they can't be forgiven. You can't have the benefit of a sacrifice you do not have faith in. This is Christianity 101. But we have million dollar ministries who don't understand Christianity 101 that insist you don't have to have faith in Christ's blood to be saved by that blood. They say all you had to have was faith in the past. That ridiculous teaching has Christ rejecting unbelievers entering into the kingdom of heaven at the end of the age. That's a joke. It's not worthy of any serious consideration whatsoever.
No Apostle is going to be giving the Gospel AGAIN to born again people, as Paul is doing in Hebrews 10.
WRONG!
Did you forget about the necessity for Paul to preach the gospel,
again, to the saved Corinthians? And the saved Galatians?
Besides, look at what the author says immediately after his warning to the Hebrews about the person who sins willfully in unbelief that you insist are not saved.....
Hebrews 10:30-35
“The Lord will judge his people.” e 31It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you endured in a great conflict full of suffering. 33Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated. 34You suffered along with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions. 35So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.
So we see very, very clearly that he is in fact talking to born again people. And if you're still not convinced, read Hebrews 6:8-9.....
8But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.
9Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are convinced of better things in your case—the things that have to do with salvation.
So don't try to tell us Hebrews 10 is for fake believers who aren't really saved.
So, when we read that Paul is PREACHING THE CROSS to these unsaved HEBREWS, and pleading with them not to remain in UNBELIEF, ""because there is no more sacrifice for your sin" = if you REJECT MESSIAH and are not born again, then we can plainly see that He is not talking to the born again in these verses, who, in fact have not rejected Christ.
As we can see from the passages I posted your teaching is false. He is in fact talking to born again Christians. He said so himself.
So, all this is easy to understand, unless you have been faith warped by a terrible teacher who is trying to deceive you into believe that the Blood Atonement, is only as good as you are.
Notice this person.
=Avoid.
As we can see for ourselves, you are actually the 'faith warped terrible teacher'. All one has to do is read the Bible honestly for themselves to see you are teaching untruths about being able to willfully sin in unbelief and being saved in that unbelief when Jesus comes back. As I've shown, the author of Hebrews is warning people who received the gospel and born again to not willfully sin in unbelief. We can see that with our own eyes when we read the Bible for ourselves and let it honestly say what it says.
The important thing to do here is to discern once saved always saved teachings in light of the immovable truth that if you are willfully sinning in unbelief you will not be saved when Jesus comes back. But what the church is doing is changing the truth about going to hell for sinning willfully in unbelief to preserve their favorite once saved always saved teaching. That's very, very wrong to do, and it's leading many, many people in the church who aren't really saved to think they are saved.
