Hebrews 10: 1 Commentary

Post #6, TIUCHE: Will have to get back to you Wed/Thur next week. I’m on the road 24/7 hauling freight. Will be home again next week. I just cannot put the time I’d like into these discussions while on the road. Until next time, God bless.

T Snow: I agree with your post#5. The only comment you made that i don’t agree is on the last where you said:

” The only “unforgivable sin” is to die in unbelief.”

The unforgivable sin is to die in unbelief? To die in unbelief is not the unforgivable sin although it may be part of such a sin.

The scripture tells us what that the UNFORGIVABLE SIN IS:

Mark 3:28-29 I tell you the truth, all the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them… he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:

Mark 3:30 He said this because they were saying, “He has an evil spirit.”

Luke 12:10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

Matthew 12:31-32 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men .And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

Dying in unbelief is(I believe)different from blaspheming the Holy spirit… scriptures that SEEMS to support this view is:

Romans 11:32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all…

John 15:22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.

Of the billions of humans that had lived on earth…think, how many died in unbelief? How many died without hearing the TRUE Gospel? From the time of Adam till the time before the birth of Christ-how many died in unbelief? Did they even Heard the Words of God to give them FAITH? Remember faith comes by hearing the Word…did they even heard the Word of God?
And even on the date that Jesus was born, grew up and later fulfilled His Redemption Mission, how many millions was really able to hear the Word of God? Here in the Philippines it was only in the 1800 that Bibles came…and in very few quantities. Think how many billions died in unbelief or did not even heard of Jesus Christ? If dying in unbelief is the unforgivable sin…then the Gospel won’t be the good news…it would be WOE NEWS for the billions that died in unbelief!

God had a plan and it is revealed in the Holy Scriptures…especially on the SEVEN FEASTS OF HIS KINGDOM-the blueprint of His Redemption Plan and the Wonderful Future of Mankind!

For anyone who would read: Eternal Security.
Turn if you will to Gen.6, where Noah is building the Ark and God tells him to coat it inside and out with “pitch” [v.14].
The Hebrew here is: “kaw’far,’ meaning, “to cover as with bitumen.” Correct me if I am wrong, but bitumen is obtained thru the distillation of petroleum, coal, etc. It is used for things such as asphalt, roofing,etc, as weatherproofing. So it would stand to reason why the Ark would be coated with “pitch.”
Now turn with me to Lev.1. God says the individual offering the sacrifice is to lay his hand on the head of the sacrifice, and it will be accepted on his behalf “to make atonement for him” [v.4].
The Hebrew here rendered ‘atonement,’ is “kaw’far,” the same as we saw in Gen.6;14. It was a covering. It did not remove the stain of sin.
Here in Heb.10 we read,
“The Law is only a SHADOW of the good things that are coming, not the realities themselves. FOR THIS REASON, it [the Law] can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship; if it could, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all [with one sacrifice] and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins. But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins, because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins” [vv.1-4].
It is clear, the animal sacrifices of the Law were insufficient to remove the stain of sin. If they COULD have, they would have only needed one sacrifice.
Down in vv.11-12 we see…
“Day after day, every priest STANDS and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices which can NEVER TAKE AWAY sins. But when THIS priest [Jesus] had offered FOR ALL time ONE SACRIFICE for sins, He SAT DOWN at the right hand of God.”
Where the priests offered sacrifices, there were no chairs, because they were always offering - no time to sit down. But Jesus SAT DOWN because He was FINISHED - meaning, ALL sin [past, present & future] atoned. That means no more sacrifice for sin. And that’s just what the writer says in v.18 - “And where these have been forgiven, there is no longer any sacrifice for sin.”
Through the sacrifice of Jesus, God has forgiven the whole world of all sin[s]. But not everyone IN the world believes it.
This is our eternal security. The only “unforgivable sin” is to die in unbelief.

THE GOOD THINGS TO COME

My niece wrote that she was hoping for a better tomorrow. so I wrote her a song i hear on the radio. They say the song is from cultic singers…me i don’t judge, so here is the song:

When morning dawns…and shadows flee…i will wait…for eternity….in the land of flowers and shining peace….farewell to earthly sorrow…i shall be free…there be no more gossips or lonely flowers…no more sorrows or pain…there’ ll be love and peace ever after…TOMORROW…WHEN THE WORLD IS FREE-

Jesus comes the 2nd time in the future to set as all free from injustices and sickness and death! In the 7th Trumpet our Savior will come and usher in His Perfect Government-to start us all to a better- a woderful world of tomorrow!

OLD TESTAMENT VS. NEW TESTAMENT

Dual personality of man is repented in the old and new testaments. The old testament was a system of morals. In the material it had the shadow of the good things to come. Cf. Hebr 10:1

The prophets pointed to the spiritual system that was coming. The new testament is mans restoration to God through Jesus.

Why did Jesus died that cruel death at the hands of men? He had to die like he did to show the hearts of men. That they can change into a new creation.

HE IS OUR INSPIRATION

Just the same as Jesus rose from the dead. We are inspired by his sacrifice to put aside our petty selfishness. Whatever burden we carry is nothing compared to the sin that Jesus bore for us.

The Law is called the First Covenant.(Heb.8:7;9:1,15,18).The First Covenant was dedicated with blood.(Heb.9:18-22;Ex.24:1-8).It was limited to the people of Israel.It was made with them wen they came out of Egypt.(Jer.
31:32;Ex.24:8)Obedience was the key of the First Covenant.(Ex.24:3,7:19:5).
Under this Covenant,the people of Israel would be (i)a peculiar treasure with God above all people (ii)a kingdom of priests (iii)an holy nation.Read Deut.7:6.”for thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God;the Lord hath chosen thee to be a special people unto Himself,above all people that are upon the face of the earth.”Deut.34:9″For the Lord’s portion is His people;
Jacob is the lot of His inheritance.”See Is.43:1;Ps.135:4.But the people of Israel broke the first Covenant.(Jer.31:32;Heb.8:9).Establishment of the New Covenant with blessings is prophesied in Jer.31:31-34.
There is a connection between the Covenant & the Priesthood.(Heb.7:5,11;
8:3,4).There is connection between the First Covenant & the sanctuary
(tabernacle)& (rituals)sacrifices.(Heb.9:1-10).The high priest& priests
ministered in the tabernacle made as per the pattern shown to Moses and pitched on the earth.The high priest & priests were appointed from the tribe of Levi.(Ex.40:12-14;Num.3:6-9;Heb.7:11)to offer sacrifices & to perform the services in the tabernacle.(Heb.9:1-10)They are also entrusted with the responsibility of transportation & care of the tabernacle & its furniture.
(Num.4).They pointed to the High priestly ministry to be carried out by Jesus Christ under the new Covenant.
Procedures for offering various sacrifices were given in the law.The Law is a shadow of good things to come.It foreshadowed the New Covenant that Jesus Christ would inaugurate by shedding His blood on the Cross.(Heb.8;10;9;22;
10:16;Matt.26:28).The tabernacle & sacrifices are copies, types & shadows.
We have the reality in Jesus Christ.The ineffectiveness of the sacrifices of the Law is made clear by the repetition of the same sacrifices year after year endlessly.The Law could not make perfect those who approached God with these sacrifices.(Heb.7;11,19;9:9).These sacrifices pointed to the ultimate & perfect sacrifice of His body to be offered by Jesus Christ for the sins of all the people of the world.(1 John 1:29).
