I will post this again about Hebrews 10:26 as there are always new viewers in these threads and the same things come up concerning Heb. 10 and the "willful sinning."
Hebrews 10:26 (NASB)
[SUP]26 [/SUP] For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
Hebrews 10:26 can be a stumbling block if we don't take the context in which this passage was written.
Some times well intentioned people take Hebrews 10:26-29 out of context with the book of Hebrews.
Anyone can take an isolated scripture out of it's context and say anything they want. Here is an example in the scripture below - Ex 32:33. Anyone who has ever sinned is blotted out of God's book.
Exodus 32:33 (NASB)
[SUP]33 [/SUP] The LORD said to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book.
This is truly stated in the OT but it is not the ultimate statement of truth. The work of Jesus's finished work on the cross trumps what is said in Ex. 32:33.
Obviously we need to view all scripture through the finished work of Christ. We don't take obscure verses and discount the abundance of clear scriptures on what our Lord has done for us.
Hebrews 10 is talking about Jewish people after hearing about Christ for the only sacrifice for sins and rejecting it to go back to the temple sacrifices for their sins.
Hebrews was written a few years before the temple system came crashing down in 70AD when it was trampled by the Roman army.
The "willful sinning" is after hearing the "knowledge" of the truth of Christ's sacrifice - those that go back to the temple sacrifices and do not receive Christ's work by faith - this is the wilful sinning being talked about - the rejection of Christ's sacrifice and blood for the forgiveness of all sins.
This is insulting the Spirit of grace. The Holy Spirit's work is to convict/convince/expose the world of their sin - which is unbelief in Christ's work. John 16:8-9
There is a vast difference between receiving the "knowledge" of the truth and "receiving the truth" which is Christ Himself.

Israel truly had faith in God that He would do what He said and spare them when they put the blood on the doorposts. Then they had faith to step under a towering wall of water to cross over. They witnessed His faithfulness and care. Then He said collect only enough food for the day and they didn't obey but collected more. The reason for the disobedience was lack of faith that He would provide again tomorrow.
Similarly, we have faith that God has saved us with the Precious Blood. We witness His faithfulness to us in many ways. Then we store treasure on earth even though He said not to, because we also do not trust He will provide again tomorrow. We make the same mistake Israel did.

The True Gospel of Works (made me laugh):
John 3:16-17
16 For God so hated the world, that he tortured and murdered his only begotten Son, that whosoever behaveth like him should not perish, maybe, conditional to a sufficiently fruitful life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to save the world; but that the world through him might be given an ensample to follow.

Oh! HAHA! Reminds me of a man who insisted that in the last days there would be a lot of tsunamis. Because it said there will be earthquakes in DIVERS places! And divers dive in the ocean. So it was saying there would be earthquakes in the ocean! Then I realized he really wasn't far off, even though his interpretation of the KJV "divers" was incorrect, he somehow had it right because earthquakes WILL cause tsunamis...
Do you think ariel is not aware that she has fallen for the trick of getting her own flesh stirred up at times by satans tactics against us? She has been encouraging brothers to let it go. The trick is to not find ourselves disqualified after we teach others. Do you think she believes she has never fallen for it? Do you wish to uncover her nakedness or do you wish to cheer her on in her race? Gods mercies begin anew each morning. We get up after we stumble and we begin to run again. There is no need to bring up each others past stumbles. If Gods mercies begin anew each morning, so should ours toward each other. It's called forgiving and bearing with one another.

I mean, what does rebuke mean here?
they have not heard me rebuke. now ask my husband. he often laughs because while English is my first language, I grew up hearing alot of German and French so I mix things up some times which usually does not come across when I write.
but he has taken to laughing when I say something 'tough' (not even at him but the squirrels here (Florida there are tons of the varmints) he repeats it and when I hear how it sounds with someone else saying it, I gotta laugh too. anyway, you have to laugh at yourself sometimes
Germans are by and large pretty direct and we think nothing of it. I have noticed Americans can be pretty thin skinned haha

Can you tell me the difference between the Old or Mosaic Covenant and the New Covenant?
Is the difference that in the Old we sinned and were killed for it...
and in the New we can sin all we want to?
You say, No, we cannot sin all we want to.
I just know that you believe we cannot sin all we want to.
So, what's the difference??
