Hebrews ch10-26-29 yes we believers can not live a sinless life that's what repentance is for but if a believer willfully sins and gets intangled in his sin an is over come by it an does not repent and turn from his wicked ways "there remains no more sacrifice for sins" Hebrews ch6-vs 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 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the world to come, If (THEY)<referring to believers) shall fall away, and renew them unto repentance; seeing as they crucify to themselves the son of God afresh, and put him to open shame.- but to avoid this you must show diligence<(persevere) to the full ASSURANCE of hope <(salvation) unto thee end.
The first three verses talk about "us":
Hebrews 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,
Hebrews 6:2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
Hebrews 6:3 And this will
we do, if God permit.
The next couple of verses talk about "
them". It is talking about the Jewish or Hebrew believers who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift. It is not talking about us because if you study the Bible there are words "turn" and "return" because there are exortations to come back to God like the parable of the prodigal son who returned. John tells us in 1 John 1:8-9 that if any man sins that and if we confess our sins He is faithful to forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. And Hebrews 4:15 says "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. " so the Bible has opportunities for forgiveness, healing, restoration and the opportunity to turn back to God. These verses can't be saying that if we fall away then it is over. 1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
Hebrews 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,
Hebrews 6:5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
Hebrews 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.
We aren't part of this. There are five participles here:
for those who were once enlightened
have tasted of the heavenly gift
tasted the good word of God
and have fallen away (the word "if" here can mean "and" as in "and have fallen away")
If doesn't say,"if they shall fall away". The word "If" can mean "and" and I looked it up.
