You simply do not understand Hebrews 10.....please at least, CONSIDER what others have to say about Heb 6 and 10......Google “ A W Tozer”.......Andrew Farley .....Renee Roland or “ Jesus Without Religion” and get the clear, easy to understand explanation of these verses....
Your entire “ take” on Scripture revolves around an erroneous view of Paul warning Hebrews who were sitting on the fence in regard to whether or not to accept the Gospel , to NOT go back to Animal Sacrifices.Because Of The “ once and for all “ Sacrifice That Jesus performed on the Cross—- The Entire Old Testament Sacrificial System was now a complete waste of time ....there no longer is “ a sacrifice for sin”. Now that the Jews have had the Truth revealed to them that all of their Sacrifices pointed to the Sacrifice Of Jesus on the Cross .....they would be “ willfully sinning” to go back to the Temple and slaughter bulls and goats ......they are not Sinning out Of ignorance anymore—- they are knowingly Sinning now—- treating the Blood Of Jesus as if it were nothing.....they are “ trampling” upon it......
Please devote an hour or two for checking out the opinions of God-Sent Teachers and take the confusion and scariness out of theses verses.....let me know what you think about other views on theses verses.....I used to freak out when I read these passages years ago..Context is EVERYTHING as we “Rightly Divide” God's Word ....These Scary verses were addressed to those that NEEDED TO HEAR THEM......the Hebrews.......hence, the Name Of That Book....May God bless us all in the understanding of these important matters ......
The warning was to not
depart from (desert) Christ and return to Judaism.
Obviously they were in Christ if they were warned not to
depart from Him, thus returning to
unbelief.
It’s exactly the same thing Jesus taught in the parable of the sower; exactly to the same people.
Unbelieving Jews living in Israel are relentless in persecuting those who have turned to Christ, so as to stop them from spreading their testimony.
Their message is Jesus is a false teacher and a false prophet.
Those
with little depth of understanding that Jesus Christ is indeed Lord; YHWH the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, fall into the temptation to believe Jesus is a false prophet and they desert Christ and return to Judaism.
Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in
departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Hebrews 3:12-14
again same context of a person who has definitely repented and therefore partaken of the Holy Spirit, but has fallen away from Christ.
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they
fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God; but if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.
Hebrews 6:4-8
That is the context of Hebrews 3 through 10, and ends in the last verse of Hebrews 10 —
But we are not of those who
draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the
saving of the soul. Hebrews 10:39
Again, if a soldier deserts the army, it by default means they we’re at one time “in the army“.
You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier. 2 Timothy 2:3-4
The entire book of Hebrews was written to give these Hebrew Christians a “
depth of understanding” (a deep root system) of who Christ is;
YHWH the Lord. The High Priest According to Melchizedek.
So when the false narrative from unbelieving Jews starts, saying Jesus is a deceiver and false prophet in order to get them to depart from Christ, back to Judaism, they will have a depth of understanding to sustain them in this time of temptation, enabling them to endure to the end, and therefore be saved.
