Let me ask one more time: So, if you ever sin on purpose you go to hell?
First of all, it's not mine to judge. But my opinion in regards to me is that if I "deliberately keep on sinning" I can expect judgment and a raging fire. That's what Hebrews 26 tells me.
But if I slip up and commit a sin—as we all, unfortunately, do occasionally—I don't think that's the same thing as to "deliberately keep on sinning." Nonetheless, I don't want to test this. I try to avoid sin.

So I answered your question. Let me ask you one: What's your rationale for ignoring Hebrews 10:26-27?

Not really.
Was your sentence above a willful sin, or accidental in its bearing false witness against my person?

Okay, perhaps I've misunderstood you. So you do actually believe that:
.
If you interpret this passage to mean something other than judgement for deliberately keeping on sinning, then what do you base your interpretation on?

26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. (Hebrews 10:26-27)

Perhaps? No, what really happened is you made a false accusation based upon exactly nothing I either stated or implied. Try being an honest Christian with others here.
Do you sin on purpose, or is it accidental? If you sin on purpose (and you do) why does this not apply to you? You too then will be consumed by a raging fire, you're an enemy of God.
Enemies of God refers to the lost, not to the saved. These never possessed salvation, as they prove.

Wow. Just wow. Do you ever go back and read what you've written in your posts? If you do, do you feel good about it? What on my part warranted this post of yours?
Are you really a preacher? I mean a real minister for a church? If so, do you speak to members of your flock in this manner?

I don't care for the tone taken by some in this thread. If people can't speak in a civil manner in discussing a bible topic, I think I will refrain from posting here for the time being. /shakes head
Really, something should be done about behavior like this. /shakes head
EDIT: I've changed the fellow's name to "preacher" in the exchange above. Surprisingly I think he might actually be a minister of a church. Who knows, he could be delivering a sermon to his congregation this morning.
