I saw this on another thread and went noplace but left me wondering. This is a very hard passage to undersatand. What does it mean?[/b]

Hebrews 6:4-6
4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 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.
 
That was me' and I had put the topic in the wrong place, but here it is again.

I have heard all kinds of people try and explain verse 4 and 6 of Hebrews the 6th chapter. Now I want to hear it from you guy's. Now remember pay close attenstion to verse 4 and 6 because that word (impossible) is scary. and this statement in verse 6 (If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance) But read it from verse 1.

Hebrews 6 (King James Version)

Hebrews 6

1Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

2Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

3And this will we do, if God permit.

4For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

5And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

6If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
