Hebrews 3:7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:�
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.�
11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.�
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.�
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;�
15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.�
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.�
13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.�
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

So here is a reference to ALL, that is then narrowed to only those who believe...
The verses were answered...maybe not to your liking...because it doesn't line up with your theology...
I have always had difficulty with double standards...it's ok for one group to pick and chose verses to post but if someone else does it, it's 'ripping them out of context'.
Some can ask questions and demand answers but others ask questions and no answer is ever given...
That's ok...God's Word does not go out void...so I will continue to post Scriptures as the Lord leads.
