Hebrews 10:18 is about animal offering for sins.. 10:26 follows the same line of context

Not a fan of Life Fm cos I like older music from 70s 80s 90s. I like Star sometimes.. Rhema I find gets a bit charismatic/pentecostal with their christianity. I also find their music a bit sachrine.

Classic rock is like The Sound radio station in NZ. And the Breeze play some. Eg the Eagles, lynyrd skynrd and Led Zeppelin. Not really a Christian genre altho maybe Crumbacher and Newsboys fit.

Animal sacrifice is the primary context of Hebrews 10. Indeed most of the entire book of Hebrews, when talking about sacrifice! It isn't out of context. The Lord's sacrifice is part of it also.. but not the subject of 10:26 in Hebrews.

Great year. I find it funny being this age .. I'm sort of Gen X but almost Gen y. In between. But I relate more to Gen X cos all my brothers are older.

You are 45? I'm 45... I was in June

For sure there are big churches that are solid on the bible and small that aren't. When I look at the bible and how a church is run though.. the flashy, showy kind isn't on there. And churches that were going a bit over the top like Corinth were admonished to change. But going off topic a bit.

Yeah, we just got a nice piano and biblically based hymns. That's enough. Why have a big show? Is it covering the fact their teaching is skin deep? I like classic rock music ..but there are times when I need quiet with God and deep study.

Hi from New Zealand! New Zealand isn't all small towns, so there are still big churches. Especially in Auckland and a few here in Christchurch. But yeah.. I find it difficult to socialise at church when the people that I DO know are ignoring me. We have a congregation of about 30 people...

You guys aren't getting what I'm saying. God obviously has individual will for each believer...that isn't in itself actual scripture. I agree with that But this .. will match the situations in scripture in how we approach things. For eg.. if you have someone in your church sin against...

I agree He does. And it will be completely related to scripture.

He does speak to individuals outside of scripture. That is how individual will is ascertained.. but it is through His Word.. it is through His scripture. A prompting that is related to His Word. God will not contradict His Word either.

Knowledge of the Bible leads to God prompting our spirit by bringing verses to our minds. It also contextualises situations so we know what God's will is in certain circumstances. Going by the bible IS being led by the Spirit. Of course for the regenerated this is where the Holy Spirit really...

I believe as you do. The process of God inspiring the scriptures, death of the apostles and destruction of the temple all led to at least the sign gifts being put away

Well the first thing is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit was attributed to unbelieving Jews. It wasn't addressed to believers. So that's the first part of the context. So it's more about rejecting salvation to begin with than a believer giving up the faith.

That's very interesting, the only good thing to come out of my experience is now I can tell when Christians are veering into it. Especially with charismania. It's very very similar.

Yeah..being 'one' with a rock, plant, animal or even stars and planets! Feels nice..but what are you opening yourself to?

Yes I was a New Ager for a few years and they accepted any belief as long as it wasn't objective truth. So it was... 'we believe every religion is headed to the same place'. But 'we exclude the exlusivists'

I understand this. In my current job the lady supervisor was pointing out every little thing I wasn't doing and moving things around that I'd done that didn't need to be moved. I decided to write down my own little list of things to make sure I'd done, and follow it. This worked well and she...

Incorporate as much from the Word as you can. Don't water it down.
