…the Lord if they truly repent? Tim’s Answer Thank you for your question. There are many interpretations of the Hebrews 6:4-8 passage. I personally think it is wrong to try to seek a meaning for that passage without first coming to grips with Hebrews 6:1-3, and the “repentance” that is in the view of the author. I provide my interpretation of that passage and my answer to your question in this article. I think Scripture is clear that if we…

…Son (“But to the Son He says”) (Hebrews 1:8). There is little doubt but that the author of Hebrews sees the Son as God Himself. 6. Psalm 136:1-3; 1 Timothy 6:15-16; Revelation 17:14; 19:16 In Psalm 136:1-3, we have a triune salute to God where He is called the LORD, the God of gods, and the Lord of lords. In 1 Timothy 6:15-16 we have God again referenced as the “King of kings and Lord of lords.” In Revelation 17:14,…

…the love of God and focus your life solely on His grace and mercy. None of us are worthy. But He is our Worthy One and He welcomes us all back to Him. You raise the question of Hebrews 6 and Hebrews 10:26-31. You allude also to Hebrews 12:16. There are many different interpretations of these passages. I will give you mine. In Hebrews 5:12-14, there are two types of people who are discussed. There are those who are unskilled…

…Hebrews 6 therefore cannot mean that if we go astray there is no hope of repentance.  Rather, as I address in this article, the passage stands as a warning that when we sin after we come to Christ, the repentance of Hebrews 6:1 is no longer available to us.  Rather, we will be disciplined as children, we will lose the portion of our inheritance that we have spent, but we remain His children and like the prodigal son we reclaim…

…of Faith in Hebrews 11, with the passage on God’s judgment or discipline in Hebrews 12. When God judges His people, He does it for our good, to bring us back to the place we should be (Hebrews 12:10). Now, going back to Hebrews 10:26, the statement is that if we sin willfully, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins. Of course, immediately before this, in verse 18, we have previously been told why there is no longer a…

…now want nothing more than to forget about what has happened and know I am saved. Certain scriptures scare me such as Hebrews 6:6, Galatians 6:7 and Hebrews 10:26. I am afraid that I am suffering God’s wrath. I love Jesus and know he died on the cross and now lives in heaven. I repented to my wife for deceit as well. I am living in fear every day. Tim’s Answer Thanks for your question. I am encouraged that you…

…repented and there the passage says that the person in view cannot be brought back again to the place of repentance. We have elsewhere explained our understanding of Hebrews 6. No matter how one interprets Hebrews 6, one may not interpret it to mean that sons cannot return to the Father, as such an interpretation would run counter to the whole point of Christ’s teaching in Luke 15. Having come back to Christ, now you simply need to learn how…

…people I’ve known are making me feel as though my salvation is something to be questioned. Will I Go To Heaven? I’ve sinned so many times and in so many ways that I’m afraid I will never be allowed into heaven. I’ve probably even committed the unpardonable sin. Can I get to heaven? The Value of a Shekel What was the value of a shekel in biblical times compared to today’s prices? Hebrews 6:4-8 Hebrews 6:4-8 seems to say that…

…regret. I am now 29. Recently, all of a sudden I have had this burning and overwhelming desire to read the Bible and search for meaning. I have become hardened over time, and I do struggle with temptations and wrongful thoughts. But now the Gospel is hitting me and I know I have erred. I am deeply troubled however by Hebrews 6:4-6 and 2 Peter 2:20-22 and Hebrews 10:26. Is it not possible for someone to return to repentance after…
