Compare verses 36-39 to Hab. In Hab. 2:4, it says, Behold his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him, but the just shall live by his faith." After it is clearly a depiction of that Scripture in the OT, Hebrews here in vs.38 says Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition, but of them that beleive to the saving of the soul." Perdition is used in 2nd Thess. verse 2 ch 3 about the man of perdition, who shall come before the LORD comes. I declare that the man of sin is me and is not to deceive the unbelievers, but to have deceived the Christians, for God loves everybody.See Rom11:32
Paul,inspired by God, exclaimed in 1st, Cor. 15:1-4 that salvation, during this grace age, is based solely on the lost believing the facts of Jesus death on the cross, His burial, and His resurrection. This is more than head knowledge this is in the heart. Only belief in these facts saves you. Not prayer, not baptism, not repentance, simply believe, period.
Please also see Romans 10:16 ...but they have not all "obeyed the gospel" John 3:3-5Acts 2:38-39Matthew 16:16-19 Peter preached the gospel to devout Jews who obeyed the gospel. Please also see II Thessalonians 1:8I Peter 4:17Galatians 1:8-9Acts 22:16 how to call on the Name of the Lord Devout Jews obeyed the gospel, setting the example for us! One LORD, One Faith, One Baptism
Being born again is by blood and water. Where do we get this blood and water ? You have to cut yourself and mix the blood with water Jn 6 : 53 1 Jn 5:6 an effort that is scarce or is with difficulty 1 Pet. 4 : 17, 18. So we are in straits till it is accomplished Luke 12 : 50 Every person has the blood in his of her body that was on the cross 2000 years ago. 1 Cor. 6 : 19. Then fast till its done.
The blood of animals could not forgive sins. Was only a shadow of what was to come. God’s Spotless, Sinless, LAMB of God, was the Ultimate Sacrufice: HE DID IT ONCE AND FOR ALL:
He came in the Volume of the Book it was WRITTEN OF HIM. HE IS THE WRITTEN WORD: He came to do His Father GOD, WILL! What OBEDIENCE! EVEN THE DEATH ON THE CROSS: No wonder JESUS said, TO OBEY IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE
Hebrews 10:35. Do not, therefore, abandon that confidence of yours; it brings a great reward. THIS chapter reflects STRENGTH. Our Strengths may seem many. Everyday responsibilities to earthy life. However, we, as Christians, have understanding; TO connect each day with GOD to "recharge " OUR Spiritual awareness. This, then, reflects peace, as well as understanding to others so they will follow.
No comments regarding the Trinity discussion and Christ's pledge made when He came into the world. Hebrew 10: 3. A body was prepared for Him. He came into the world He saith, sacrifice and offering God had no pleasure in. Then said I, lo, I come, this is said by Christ twice, this He has said when He came into the world as a child or when conceived.

Sacrifice of Christ who says, “ it is finished. Souls redeemed, now free of Satan's bonds, forever loosed. Our light is Jesus, and we beg for good-works, more so to be alongside Jesus in Spirit watching and joining him in those works. Not allowing worldly fleshly temptations take us where the devil lives. Encourage fellows with Church, the Word, and the Spirit, continuing our race, even battles.
V 26 I think Irene meant v 26.
Here is my understanding.
Hebrews is about Salvation through Jesus Christ only
The sin of the Hebrews is unbelief, A rejection of Christ to go back to the Law and faith in ones own works (self righteousness" To God that is the worst thing one can do- reject his son. saying Christ died in vain. Hence the worst punishment. see Matt 21 40-41
From my understanding Christ is the head of Church. Jesus is the vine and we are the branches apart from Him we can do nothing. A place where we come together and share our love for Him maybe a Church, a Temple, a Synagogue....or even a tent. God is in us and he is for us and He wants us to come together.
Pauline; From the beginning sacrifices were intended for bringing sin to remembrance, and for a sign of the suffering of the Saviour to come. God first, in making coats of skins for the man and his wife, and next by Abel offering of his flocks in presenting himself and giving account to God; according to the Word of Christ coming to break the head of the devil by Himself being slain. Gen. 3:15
...where He had been brought up. AND AS HIS CUSTOM WAS, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.”Luke 4:16 NKJV Jesus was a very consistent person in His spiritual life.He had a lifestyle of going to the synagogue and listening to the word. Jesus wasnot a person separate from assembling himself together with believers of like faith. He was faithful to church.
Irene; "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." As children of God we will recognize our own family, and its always little slice of heaven whenever we're together; whether for Meeting, or just a few minutes. Sorry to say, but this has rarely been my experience in a Church.
I want to insert that a church is a individual person, not a building. Also another thing I will add is that a I have the gift of healing and this is how I clear karmic debt and offer over to God the Father a living sacrifice. By
the word of God explains clearly In Hebrews we are not to trod down the Grace of God Jesus died once not over and over everytime we sin which means he would have to died again that's not going to happen
Linda: My little children, these things write I unto you,that ye sin not. If any man sin, we have an advocate with The Father Jesus Christ The Righteous: And He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole World. 1John 2:1-2 /
That if anyone sin willfully after believing on the sacrifice of Jesus, there is no more sacrifice for sin. Just a horrible dreading of punishment after death.
Barnabus / Rouse: No one can come to Christ until The Father Calls(a tug on your Heart): 1John 6:44 / Ask Forgiveness: 1John 1:9 / You will be Washed by His Blood: Revelation 1:5 and Baptized with The Holy Ghost: Mark 1:8, You will be changed: 2Corinthians 5:17. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a New Creature:old things are passed away;.behold all things are become new.
It lets you know that Christ made the ultimate sacrifice by dying for our sins and once we accept him as our mediator between God and man we ought to live by faith because he has justified and made us righteous
