Hebrews chapter '6':Falling away
Posted : 28 Dec, 2011 09:27 AM
Hello everyone:
I believe there are a few people which believe they are able to LOSE their salvation,
Or rather to have been saved and then to become UNSAVED do to sin,or by walking away from Yeshua.
The Scripture which most people go to is found in Hebrews chapter 6,verses 1-6.
Could we look into the Scripture to find if this is ACTUALLY saying that a person is able to become 'UNSAVED'.
I will be using the King James Version,as this is closest to the actual understanding.
Heb 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
Heb 6:2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
Heb 6:3 And this will we do, if God permit.
Let us take verses 4-6 and tend to these.
In these next few verses pleas note that we are dealing with a RHETORICAL question here.
Heb 6:4 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,
Heb 6:5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
Heb 6:6 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.
In these verses is addressed the 'IMPOSSIBLITY' of a person which has become UNSAVED,to become saved again.
The arguement for this is found in verse 6.
Yeshua would have to be 'CRUCIFIED' every time a person would become unsaved,and then save that person again.
Actually,this person would need someone else to be going to Calvary,seeing that Yeshua had gone ONLY ONE time.
Rom 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
Rom 6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
Now the question is this.
When a persons sins,commits sin;has sin yet hates the sin and wants freedom.
Is their Salvation in Jeopardy,or is the FELLOWSHIP broken.
Is ones RELATIONSHIP removed,or is the FELLOWSHIP broken.
A person turns their back and walks away.
Does the GOOD SHEPHERD go after His wayward sheep?
When you answer please give Biblical responses only.
Shalom and Chesed
