Does Hebrews 10 say if we willfully sin after being saved there is no more forgiveness?

Great.. Just need some book chapter and verse to vet that claim.
Great. Read the Gospels.

Just as in our salvation, Jesus told his Disciples,you did not choose me. I chose you. That included Judas.
... Are you being serious? Judas did not personally murder Jesus by his own hand.
Never said he did.

it was not like Jesus had a personal force field around him and judas and the other disciple where allowed into the force field, and judas snuck in with a knife and killed Jesus because no one else could get to Him.
You're rambling in your own fiction. Or,you're confusing me with someone else. None of that was even remotely in my post that you quoted.
Although that would have been an interesting episode of "the chosen" if that had happened.
Sn Extra biblical fiction produced in part by the LDS. I don't watch it.
The temple priests demanded that Jesus be killed. They where plotting to simply capture him the next time He popped up preaching on temple grounds. In fact if they caught Him on temple grounds they would not have needed the trial or the romans. They could have simply picked up rocks and stoned Him to death. (they tried this very thing earlier after palm sunday but He escaped as it was not His time yet..) All Jesus needed to do was show up and not run away this time as he would have known it was His time, then turned Himself in.
Not true. The temple paid tax to the Romans so they could continue to operate while under Roman rule.

So no,they could not have stoned Jesus to death had he been in the temple.

Jesus didn't run away from the temple the first time,by the way.
Judas turning Jesus over to the priests the night before made things more difficult because they did not have the right to execute off temple grounds for breaking the law.
They had no right to execute anyone on or off temple grounds. They were under Roman rule.

If you disagree,prove your claim.

Rome would not allow it. This is why the paraded Jesus to Pilate and Herod trying to get an execution order.
That's right. Rome would not allow executions on or off temple grounds.
Again, all Jesus need do was turn Himself in, or send out a loyal disciple and tell the priests to pick Jesus up at a certain time and place.
That's what happened at the last supper. Jesus told Judas to go and do what he had to do.
Plus satan can not possess someone that belongs to God.
Jesus knew Satan was within Judas the first time.

Jesus says one's "house" must be empty to receive an evil spirit. Meaning if Jesuad was indewelt by the Holy Spirit as where the others, Satan could not have taken possession of him.
He did. Twice.
That's how Jesus fulfilled his mission to Earth,by God's will.
yes, but again... Satan could not have entered Judas if Judas belong to Christ/Had the Holy Spirit. Jesus talks about this in mat 12's parable of the empty house:

43 “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through dry places seeking rest, but finds none. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then it goes and brings with itself seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there. And the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it be also with this evil generation.”
Judas served God's will.
Jesus was talking about the romans who executed Him.

Luke 23: 33 And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. 34 And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And they cast lots to divide his garments.

Jesus in context was asking God to forgive those who crucified Him and gambled for His garments.
Judas was part of those who participated so to have him crucified.
Actually, no it does not. as Jesus condemned Judas/The man who would betray Him:
mat 26: 23 He answered, “He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me will betray me.
Yes,which tells you he knew Judas was again possessed. And doing a God planned.

No?

How else would Jesus have been crucified? If he did not permit it so?
24 The Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.” 25 Judas, who would betray him, answered, “Is it I, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You have said so.”

...
The son of purdition was Satan.
But Judas never made it to apostleship. He died as a disciple/student.
I know.

The disciples where not officially made Apostle till the Great Commission Jesus gave in Mat 28 where he "send out" the Apostles Just before He ascended into Heaven.
Jesus announced their feet for the service and that's when they were annointed Apostles.
Judas Killed Himself days before this event.
You missed the definition of Apostle.
Which could not have happened if he belonged to Christ. Judas' "house" was swept up and put in order, but empty/No Holy Spirit, and a bigger more evil demon/Satan himself took control.
Ah,so by that reasoning Satan entered Eden because God was not present within his own creation?

God does as he pleases.
You act like Jesus did not have the power inclination or ability to simply walk up to the temple and turn Himself in.
You sound as if you don't know all this was foretold in the Old Testament
And had to happen according to God's plan.

Judas betrayed Jesus for Literally nothing..
Literally?
It would have been better,though bad,to say,figuratively.

And, if you think Judas literally betrayed Jesus for nothing, you are not well read in the scriptures.
Do you know how they say that in the movie "Raiders of the lost Ark." Indiana Jones make no impact or contribution to the movie at all? Because with or without him they over all story line would play out the same.
Meaningless. Stick with the topic.
Judas is the Indiana Jones of the Gospel. Whether Judas was a good man or an evil devil possessed scumbag, the end result of Jesus dying on the cross would have been the same.
Irrelevant.
Irrelevant.
See above. Sin still present in the world judged irrelevant,is ignorance on your part.
irrelevant. Jesus whether betrayed or surrendered Himself would have made the same sacrifice.
He didn't. Stick with the scriptures record.
Irrelevant. The question asked was how does hebrews 10 get reconciled with Romans 7:14 forward?
You don't actually know given your remarks here.
Strawman argument. This does not address anything I had to say.
Now I know you're ill equipped for this discussion.
 
26 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. 28 Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. 29 How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him who said, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge his people.” 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.


Same as the title.. If this is how you read it, how do you reconcile what Paul describes as his on going struggle with sin in romans 7?

14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, sold under sin. 15 For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. 16 Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law, that it is good. 17 So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. 18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.

21 So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. 22 For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, 23 but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. 24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.


Hebrews 10 sacrifice for sins is animal sacrifice. That's the meaning thru the chapter. The Hebrew believers were going back to those sacrifices even though they were now NT Christians.
 
I'll keep this short since this issue,and my bpiv took a lot of heat in the Judas thread already.

Judas was saved.

Answer this. How would Jesus have died for the sins of the world otherwise? Were it not for Judas,possessed by Satan twice at key moments so to insure Jesus was taken into custody so to die on the cross.

Judas,as himself,free of Satan after,realized what happened. Repented. Returned the silver,and hanged himself. " Cursed is anyone hanged on a tree"

Jesus too was hanged on a tree for the world's sins to take upon himself there. Father forgive them fof they know not what they do.

That would include Judas. Being possessed,he did not do those things. Satan did.

So,in point of fact, Judas was the greatest Apostle.
"apóstolos, which literally means "one who is sent out". It primarily refers to an envoy."

OK,technically, it would be Satan in the body of Judas.

Otherwise, Jesus would not have been identified in the garden.

(Notice? The fall of man occurred in a garden. The redemption of man began in a garden.)

And Jesus ,thus identified,would not be tried and crucified as the second Adam. The last unblemished sacrificial lamb for the sins of the world.

That world that is still sinning.

No matter how many lives lost,drowned,burned,
crucified, Sin remains the constant here.

Proverbs 19:21

1 Timothy 4:10 (OJB) For to this end we labor and strive at the melachah (task), because we have set tikvateynu in the EL CHAI [YEHOSHUA 3:10] who is Moshi’a (Savior) of kol Bnei Adam, that is, the ma’aminim [in Moshiach Adoneinu].


(CJB)10 (indeed, it is for this that we toil and strive): we have our hope set on a living God who is the deliverer of all humanity, especially of those who trust.


NIV) 10 That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe.

OK,not so short. Oops.🥹
Judas was literally the one and only Satan-man. Furthermore, as noted in the text, he opposed Christ at every juncture......because he was the Satan-man.

Oh and BTW, Judas is one of the pre-eminent types of the end time Man of Sin, the "greater Judas".

And if you did not realize it, Christ held out His offer of salvation to Judas to the bitter end, knowing full well in His omniscience that Judas would perpetually refuse the offer.

No, Judas was not saved.

Here let me help you:

Jesus OFFERS salvation in His Name by His Blood.

Judas refused His gracious offer. Continuously, Ccontemptuously, scornfully, with malice, full knowledge, and intent.

As do many others who CHOOSE "the lie" rather The Truth.

Does this OT "type" help you in understanding the proper and accurate Biblical salvation scenario?

[2Ki 6:5-7 KJV]
5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.

6 And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast [it] in thither; and the iron did swim.

7 Therefore said he, Take [it] up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.
 
If Judas didn't want to, someone else would have.

Conjecture.

Here let me help you:
Error cannot assist me.
Jesus OFFERS salvation in His Name by His Blood.
Judas was dead before Jesus blood was shed on the cross.

Judas refused His gracious offer. Continuously, Ccontemptuously, scornfully, with malice, full knowledge, and intent.
No. John 6. Jesus reiterates he chose the twelve. Which included Judas.

"But one of you is a Devil."
And yet, he did not banish him.
Jesus knew the purpose of Satan,being he entered Judas twice, and did not exorcise him. But kept Judas close.

And when it was his time,Jesus told Judas,possessed by Satan,to do what he must do,quickly.

Judas was chosen by Omniscient Jesus to be his Disciple.
The men were saved the moment they believed. Genesis 15:6 and Romans 4:3.

Judas believed. Which is why when he saw what "he" ,Satan in him,had done,he repented, and then took his own life because "he" believed he caused the life of our Jesus to be taken.

He cursed himself in doing this. He knew this too.

If he had no faith,he would not have repented and then cursed himself as punishment.
If he was the devil in doing this deed against Jesus, he would have departed after Jesus was arrested having accomplished his intent. And rich by 30 pieces of silver.

"If someone guilty of a capital offense is put to death and their body is exposed on a pole, you must not leave the body on the pole overnight. Be sure to bury it that same day, because anyone who is hung on a pole is under God’s curse."
Deuteronomy 21:22-23 (NIV)

"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: 'Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.'"
Galatians 3:13 (NIV)

The intercessory prayer of Jesus in the Book of John 17 had to include Judas. Though he had hanged himself by then.

Because of that one key phrase Jesus used to identify those he sought forgiveness for.

"They know not what they do "

Judas clearly did not,could not,know what he'd done ,being one possessed by Satan.
Which is why he returned the silver,repented for what he knew he was blamed for,and killed himself,cursed himself purposefully as penance.

If he knew what he'd done,he would have fled as a 30 pieces of silver rich man.

As do many others who CHOOSE "the lie" rather The Truth.

Your opinion. Contrary to reason and harmony of scriptures.
Does this OT "type" help you in understanding the proper and accurate Biblical salvation scenario?

7 Therefore said he, Take [it] up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.
You will never lead me to believe falsehood that you defend with shadows and types,as you ignored what is recorded from Jesus.
 
  • Haha
Reactions: 2ndTimeIsTheCharm
Chapters 6, 7 and 8 are paul's version of explaining what being 'born again' means.

His version? No, He explains what it means to be born again in Romans chapter 6.
How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? For we were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death and that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin. And now being made free from sin we become servants to God, we have our fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death but the Gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The old man being crucified, the body of sin be destroyed that we no longer serve sin.

The Law only has dominion over a man as long as he liveth. The old man is indeed dead, and we are alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

If you don't see this which is the foundation; you will not see or understand chapters 7 and 8.
 
If your interpretation of Hebrews is correct then no one is saved.

Everyone sins willfully everyday and all have failed.

We know God is perfectly righteous and just in His judgement.

Therefore, God must destroy you.
If your interpretation is not inline with what is revealed in respect to what the knowledge of the truth is in Hebrews 10 below then maybeyou should stop and just listen for awhile.

The knowledge that Jesus blood cleanses our Conscience, who we are from dead works, sin. Acts that cause death, so we can serve the living God. For the blood of bulls and goats could never take away sin. But He in these last days by the sacrifice of Himself have put away sin once and for all. For all that is for the ministry must be sanctified (set apart for holy use) by His Blood. And we whom He has sanctified He also perfected. Whereof this perfectness the Holy Ghost speaks when He saith, God will put His law in our hearts and in our minds.
Having our hearts sprinkled from that evil conscience and our bodies washed by the pure water let us hold fast this profession of Faith without wavering. For He is faithful that promised. Let us not forsake the assembling of ourselves as is the manner of some but exhort one another daily as we see the day approaching. For if we are in a state of continuing sinning willfully after we have received the knowledge of this truth there remains no more sacrifice for sin, Only judgment and the fiery indignation of our God.
 
Hebrews 10 sacrifice for sins is animal sacrifice. That's the meaning thru the chapter. The Hebrew believers were going back to those sacrifices even though they were now NT Christians.
No, one does not get that from reading Hebrews 7-10
 
It is an open gospel account Eg; the book of matthew.

Historically mid 60s AD. The Church Fathers/Apostle were being systematically hunted and martyred. There was an urgency to have a first hand account of the Gospel

It depends on which denomination you subscribe to. Different denominations will focus on on different things. Truthfully, one does not need to approach this letter like an agnostic believer (Seeking hidden knowledge) Mat 7's message is self contained.

Because as previously stated a first hand eye witness account was needed to frame out who Jesus was, some of the things He did plus teach and to communicate the gospel.

Because as previously stated a first hand eye witness account was needed to frame out who Jesus was, some of the things He did, plus teach and to communicate the gospel.
What if I were to tell you that you missed finding the correct answers to most of the questions.


Like the audience was in the title....

The when was before the Temple was under siege in 66AD

The pertinent facts?
Mishna, Sifre, and Talmud that were broadly known among any educated Jewish person. Some passages are almost direct quotes....more than close enough that any reader back then would instantly recognize the references made ("may the force be with you" is instantly recognized today by Star Wars fans....similar passages in Hebrews draws upon Other Jewish writings very popular and highly recognized)

And the obvious fact that the first covenant is gone and a new covenant is in place is not always completely thought through by Jews. That's the theme of the entire book....the theology that this was always pointing to but unrealized is the dominant theme.
 
hahaha. st.paul had no idea what a futurist dispensationalist was.

good grief indeed man. how about you stop sucking off the jews? this is embarrasing man. grown man getting cucked by white people who cant even prove they are descendants of jacob. you're the type of guy to travel to israel and be a good shabbos goy and work on their vineyards for free while they deem you too filthy to actually be involved in the wine making, you are free to work the fields tho. good shabbos goy, keep posting goy. oy vey!
Here you go friend. God's fidelity toward the Jews cannot be questioned.
And God has indeed preserved His witnessess.....for obvious eschatological reasons.

Isaiah 43

1But now, this is what the LORD says—

He who created you, O Jacob,

and He who formed you, O Israel:

“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;

I have called you by your name; you are Mine!

2When you pass through the waters,

I will be with you;

and when you go through the rivers,

they will not overwhelm you.

When you walk through the fire,

you will not be scorched;

the flames will not set you ablaze.

3For I am the LORD your God,

the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;

I give Egypt for your ransom,

Cusha and Seba in your place.

4Because you are precious and honored in My sight,

and because I love you,


I will give men in exchange for you

and nations in place of your life.

5Do not be afraid, for I am with you;

I will bring your offspring from the east

and gather you from the west.

6I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’

and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back!’

Bring My sons from afar,

and My daughters from the ends of the earth—

7everyone called by My name and created for My glory,

whom I have indeed formed and made.”

8Bring out a people who have eyes but are blind,

and who have ears but are deaf.

9All the nations gather together

and the peoples assemble.

Who among them can declare this,

and proclaim to us the former things?

Let them present their witnesses to vindicate them,

so that others may hear and say, “It is true.”

10“You are My witnesses,” declares the LORD,

“and My servant whom I have chosen,

so that you may consider and believe Me

and understand that I am He.

Before Me no god was formed,

and after Me none will come.

11I, yes I, am the LORD,

and there is no Savior but Me.

12I alone decreed and saved and proclaimed—

I, and not some foreign god among you.

So you are My witnesses,” declares the LORD,

“that I am God.

13Even from eternity I am He,

and none can deliver out of My hand.

When I act, who can reverse it?”
 
Great. Read the Gospels.
I have, multiple times and in depth. Never once did I find anything that says Judas was saved. This is why I am asking you for specific book chapter and verse that clear says Judas was saved.
Just as in our salvation, Jesus told his Disciples, you did not choose me. I chose you. That included Judas.
That passage is from John 15. Just before that line of "you did not choose me I chose you, " Jesus takes two paragraphs explaining that: "you are the branch and I am the vine, and if you abide in me, or stay with me, I will stay with you. But if you do not produce fruit, you will be cut from the vine and thrown into the fire."

Just like Judas was cut and thrown into the fire. Because Judas did not abide in Christ.

Not true. The temple paid tax to the Romans so they could continue to operate while under Roman rule.
When Jesus was tried, Jewish religious leaders went through the Roman governor, Pilate, since they had no legal right to inflict capital punishment. When Pilate told the Jews to try Jesus according to Jewish law, they responded, “We have no right to execute anyone” (John 18:31).
So no,they could not have stoned Jesus to death had he been in the temple.
Maybe you should take your own advise and read the gospels. They literally tried to stone Jesus to death while on temple grounds, but He escaped the attempt on His life:

John 8:56&nbsp;Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad.” 57&nbsp;So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?”[<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=john 8&amp;version=ESV#fen-ESV-26427d" title="See footnote d">d</a>] 58&nbsp;Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” 59&nbsp;So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
 
Jesus didn't run away from the temple the first time,by the way.
Again, before you attempt to teach what the bible says, perhaps you should refamiliarize yourself with it actually says:

John 8:59&nbsp; So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.

Do you really think i was just making stuff up, and you where just going to be able to call my bluff?? Bro, you have access to google. I suggest you check your facts before posting your 'feeling.' This will save you from future 'miss-understanding and the embarrassment of 'calling something out that is clearly taught in the bible.
They had no right to execute anyone on or off temple grounds. They were under Roman rule.

If you disagree,prove your claim.
In first-century Judea, the power of life and death rested firmly in Roman hands. The province was under the rule of the Roman prefect. At the time, it was Pontius Pilate, the Hitler of the ancient world, who murdered some 250,000 Jews, largely without any judicial proceeding, and was ultimately recalled by the Emperor Tiberius due to his cruelty. For even the Romans to see someone as an evil murderer is simply astounding. Jewish authorities did not possess the legal authority to carry out executions for political crimes, especially those perceived as threats to Roman order or an act of insurrection against Ceasar, of which Jesus was directly accused.

Jesus was executed as a political dissident. The charge placed above his head on the cross — “King of the Jews” — was not a theological statement. It was a political accusation. Rome did not crucify people for blasphemy. Rome crucified people for sedition.

Pontius Pilate: The man who ordered the execution

The Gospels themselves, when read carefully and without theological distortion, make clear who carried out the execution: Pontius Pilate, the Roman proconsul.

That's right. Rome would not allow executions on or off temple grounds.
Again as previously established in John 8 the Priest attempted to stone Jesus on temple grounds:

John 8:56&nbsp;Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad.” 57&nbsp;So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?”[<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=john 8&amp;version=ESV#fen-ESV-26427d" title="See footnote d">d</a>] 58&nbsp;Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” 59&nbsp;So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.

That's what happened at the last supper. Jesus told Judas to go and do what he had to do.

Jesus knew Satan was within Judas the first time.
So? Satan like Judas or anyone else in that room all serve God.
Judas served God's will. Judas was part of those who participated so to have him crucified.
So does Satan. So did Pilate, The Pharisees and the Sadducees, and even the roman soldiers who tortured Jesus and nailed Him to the cross. That said it does not mean any or all of these people are saved just because they serve God. Again Satan serves God, read the book of Job. Do you think satan is saved just because He serves God? Like you said God does what He wants.
Yes,which tells you he knew Judas was again possessed. And doing a God planned.
Irrelevant.
Jesus announced their feet for the service and that's when they were anointed Apostles.

While The disciples were commissioned by Jesus to become apostles during his earthly ministry. This is notably seen in the Synoptic Gospels where Jesus sends out the 12 apostles with specific instructions and authority to preach, heal, and cast out demons (e.g., Mark 6:7-13; Matthew 10:1-5; Luke 9:1-6).

The most definitive transition of the disciples to apostles occurs after the resurrection of Jesus. In what is known as the "Great Commission" (Mt 28:16-20), the risen Jesus appears to his 11 remaining disciples and commissions them to go and make disciples of all nations.

This event marks their full transformation into apostles, as they are sent out to the entire world with the authority of Jesus.


So while the disciples where 'sent out on several missionary journeys after the foot washing you mention during the ministry of Christ Mark 6, Mat 10, Luke 9) they where still referred to as disciples up until the great commission just before He ascended into Heaven. From that point forward they where never referred to as disciples again. This event/Great commission was their official transition to apostles. Which again happened after the suicide of Judas.
You missed the definition of Apostle.

You missed the point I made that demonstrates that the apostles where referred to by Jesus as 'disciples'/students up until He returned to Heaven.

Ah,so by that reasoning Satan entered Eden because God was not present within his own creation?
You understand the parable of the demon possessed house was told by Jesus to describe how Demons can come to possess people who do not have the Holy Spirit occupying them? You are literally arguing with how Christ described demon possession being possible for those who do not have the Holy Spirit with in them.

Judas' possession was only possible because his 'house' was empty. Judas did not possess the Holy Spirit, meaning He was never saved.
God does as he pleases.
You mean, God could do something like make a rule that says if the Holy Spirit does not dewell with in you satan has the ability to enter and possess you? Imagine that! Now See how well that principle works with someone who like Judas who was healed/made right by Christ but was not in dwelt with the Holy Spirit, could still be taken by satan, despite being call and made clean by Jesus Himself.

You sound as if you don't know all this was foretold in the Old Testament
And had to happen according to God's plan.
If you truly think that then why limit your responses to one sentence zingers designed to make me look foolish or to discredit me? If you thought i was missing a key teaching from the OT why not take the time to provide book chapter and verse (As I have done for you at every point of contention we have had in this discussion) So that I could have the opportunity to try and come to your understanding?

That said, If Jesus where to simply walk up and turn Himself in, you do not think the OT would have mention that instead of Judas' betrayal? Do you really think the prophets of the OT prescribed a path that Jesus would have to follow? That these men/OT prophets simply made up arbitrary water shed events that Jesus would have to then follow?

-or-

Where the Prophesies in the OT where actual revelations given by God that revealed what was to take place? That God was not foretelling what would/could happen in the future, but rather from His perspective these events have already happened (Like John's account of the book of revelation)

Meaning if Jesus was meant to walk up and turn Himself in, then that would have been foretold in the OT.
Literally?
It would have been better,though bad,to say,figuratively.
Nope. I meant what I said. Judas was given 30 pieces of silver to betray Jesus.. What did he do with those 30 pieces of silver? He gave them all back leaving Judas with L-I-T-E-R-L-Y NOTHING. So Judas Betrayed Jesus for L-I-T-E-R-L-Y NOTHING.

Maybe you should again look into the gospels/Read them again before you attempt to have a discussion about them.
And, if you think Judas literally betrayed Jesus for nothing, you are not well read in the scriptures.
Other wise it makes you look foolish for those who know better.
Mat 27:3

Then when Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus was condemned, he changed his mind and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders


Meaningless. Stick with the topic.
Allow me to explain my analogy:
 
Do you know how they say that in the movie "Raiders of the lost Ark." Indiana Jones make no impact or contribution to the movie at all? Because with or without him they over all story line would play out the same.

The priests wanted to kill Jesus with or without Judas' help. Do you agree with this statement?

So if the priests wanted to kill Jesus with or without Judas' Help, do you think If Jesus would have turned Himself in they would have still done everything they did? or do you think they would have changed their minds and let Him Go?

I think most people would say they would have still done everything they did to kill Jesus. If that is the case, then Judas was not needed to betray Christ, because all Christ would needed to have done was to send peter to set up a time and place like 3 AM in the garden of Gethsemane Friday night before the passover.

So again Judas like indiana Jones in the raiders of the lost ark was not needed for the story to play out in either case just as it did.
See above. Sin still present in the world judged irrelevant,is ignorance on your part.
I think you are missing some punctuation and a few more words to try make this a cohesive statement.
Do you want to give this another shot? Or is all you wanted to say contained in the last 3 words?
He didn't. Stick with the scriptures record.

Is Jesus not "I Am" as He claim to be? Did He not exist Before Moses and Abraham existed? Then Could He have not given the prophets any prophesy He deemed necessary?
You don't actually know given your remarks here.
If you are in possession of the explanation I need, then please I ask that you explain it to me with the relevant citations.

Unless you are simply trying to discredit me and what i have shared with you so you can maintain your beliefs about Judas despite all of the scripture that contradicts your beliefs. you know Kind of a Kill the messenger so you can ignore the message/ad hom effort.
Now I know you're ill equipped for this discussion.
Says the "Christian Brother" who's whole post consist of one line personal attacks
 
Hebrews 10 sacrifice for sins is animal sacrifice. That's the meaning thru the chapter. The Hebrew believers were going back to those sacrifices even though they were now NT Christians.
Actually no. Verse 26 says if we keep on deliberately sinning, AFTER we receive the knowledge of truth (Gospel) There is no other sacerfice that can save us. The passage does not say if we return to the old sacrificial system. It says if we continue to sin deliberately

Heb 10:26&nbsp;For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
 
His version? No, He explains what it means to be born again in Romans chapter 6.
You seem to be having difficulty with the meaning of the word vision. which is understandable given it's multiple definations.

vision​

American
[vizh-uhn]/ ˈvɪʒ ən /

noun​

visions
  1. the act or power of sensing with the eyes; sight.
  2. the act or power of anticipating that which will or may come to be.

    prophetic vision;
    the vision of an entrepreneur.
    Synonyms:discernment, perception
  3. an experience in which a personage, thing, or event appears vividly or credibly to the mind, although not actually present, often under the influence of a divine or other agency.

    a heavenly messenger appearing in a vision.
  4. something seen or otherwise perceived during such an experience.

    The vision revealed its message.
    Synonyms:chimera, phantasm, apparition
  5. a vivid, imaginative conception or anticipation.

    visions of wealth and glory.
  6. something seen; an object of sight.

You seem to be under the impression I was using definition 2 or 4. When in fact I was using definition 3 (The Vision of an Entrepreneur) Or More specifically How Paul Saw sin in relation to Grace and forgiveness.
If you don't see this which is the foundation; you will not see or understand chapters 7 and 8.

So You do see Paul 'vision' of sin
 
No, one does not get that from reading Hebrews 7-10
Earlier context:


Hebrews 10:2-4 KJV

For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. [3] But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. [4] For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

And

Hebrews 10:5-6 KJV
Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: [6] In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.

And

Hebrews 10:16-18 KJV
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; [17] And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. [18] Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

Offering for sin here is animal sacrifice.

Then we go on to the no more sacrifice for sin verses:

Hebrews 10:25-26 KJV
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. [26] For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins

Sacrifice for sins in this chapter is animal offering for sins
 
What if I were to tell you that you missed finding the correct answers to most of the questions.
I would be like Great! Please by all means set me straight.
Like the audience was in the title....
Matthew was His own Audience? So you are saying the book of Matthew Written by Matthew, was intended for Matthew?!?!?

How does that make sense?
The when was before the Temple was under siege in 66AD
...And what did I say? Let's see:

Historically mid 60s AD. The Church Fathers/Apostle were being systematically hunted and martyred. There was an urgency to have a first hand account of the Gospel

66AD would be the 'mid 60s no?!? if so couldn't you just say Hey Drich you where 100% correct This was the time period in which these books we are discussing was written.

The pertinent facts? Mishna, Sifre, and Talmud that were broadly known among any educated Jewish person. Some passages are almost direct quotes....more than close enough that any reader back then would instantly recognize the references made ("may the force be with you" is instantly recognized today by Star Wars fans....similar passages in Hebrews draws upon Other Jewish writings very popular and highly recognized)
You are 100% correct John DB!
And the obvious fact that the first covenant is gone and a new covenant is in place is not always completely thought through by Jews. That's the theme of the entire book....the theology that this was always pointing to but unrealized is the dominant theme.
Technically According to Jesus the Old covenant has not gone anywhere. 17&nbsp;“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18&nbsp;For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19&nbsp;Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20&nbsp;For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Here's the thing about the OT/OC. The Old Covenant never promised eternal life when it was originally established. All that one got for keeping the law was, God's protection, Health, Wealth long life and a piece of the promised land. Because at the time when the law was given, no one knew anything of the after life. Even in the time of Jesus the idea of the after life was highly debated. This dispute was one of the primary arguements between the Pharisees Who did believe in the afterlife, and the Sadducees who did not. Now because the Sadducees where the temple leadership, the official position of the temple was there wasn't an afterlife.

Meaning No one in the temple used the law as a path to eternal life. This is why Jesus said unless your righteousness exceeded the righteousness of the pharisees and the sadducees you will never enter the kingdom. Their righteousness was based on the observance of the Old law.

Now fast forward to 70AD and the destruction of the temple. Without the temple none of the ceremonial laws could be properly observed. putting the nation of Israel in default concerning upholding their end of the law.

The new covenant does not supersed the Old. The New offers a different reward. Different reward, means different terms and conditions. Which is why there is a NC.
 
The priests wanted to kill Jesus with or without Judas' help. Do you agree with this statement?
It's scripture.
So if the priests wanted to kill Jesus with or without Judas' Help, do you think If Jesus would have turned Himself in they would have still done everything they did? or do you think they would have changed their minds and let Him Go?
Irrelevant. Deal with what is written in Scripture.
I think most people would say they would have still done everything they did to kill Jesus. If that is the case, then Judas was not needed to betray Christ, because all Christ would needed to have done was to send peter to set up a time and place like 3 AM in the garden of Gethsemane Friday night before the passover.
Judas is in the scripture.
Imagining different narratives is a derail.

So again Judas like indiana Jones in the raiders of the lost ark
How old are you?
was not needed for the story to play out in either case just as it did.
The story played out as written. Just as God planned starting with the Old Testament.
I think you are missing some punctuation and a few more words to try make this a cohesive statement.
I think you need to stick with what is in scripture rather than turning into a sorry grammar Nazi as a side track.
Do you want to give this another shot? Or is all you wanted to say contained in the last 3 words?
My first shot hit home.
It is your failure that refuses to respect Scripture.
Is Jesus not "I Am" as He claim to be? Did He not exist Before Moses and Abraham existed? Then Could He have not given the prophets any prophesy He deemed necessary?

If you are in possession of the explanation I need, then please I ask that you explain it to me with the relevant citations.
Sir or madam,you have yet to demonstrate you are cognizant of what is in scripture,as written,or posted by others who try to get through to you in this thread.
