a believer who once knew the Lord, sins knowingly then he can no longer expect to be saved because he cannot "Crucify Christ a Second time."
My question is this are there denominations or any Christians out there that take these verses as they are stated and believe that they will go to hell because they knowingly sinned?
I believe that we all knowingly sin, so are we all going to hell? Or perhaps the writer of Hebrews did not mean what he said or perhaps the translators could not translate it correctly into english.

Hebrews 6:4
It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, .....
Hebrews 10:26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of ra

I mean, its not solid concrete detail, just something that makes a lot of sense when you think about it. Its about space, the universe (i've always thought if one wants to find Gods miracles, you either look at the really little things, cells and organisms, and the really big thing, the universe) Ok, here it goes, its kinda hard to explain. The universe is a vast amount of empty space, a small minority of it filled with galaxies and planets and so forth. But where did all that empty space come from? Why do humans, or anything for that matter even exist? What if there was just nothing, no space, no human beings, no universe, no nothing? An infentesimal amount of sapce couldn't have just come from no where, why is it here and how did it get here? Because there is a God, and we do have a purpose. There are so many things scientists don't know, like what makes cells do what they do, or how the universe was created. Theories have come and gone, but I not everything can be explained with logic. Its at that point God steps in. My point is, this whole unimaginably enormous wonder of space did not just come out of nowhere. It came from God. Make sense, doesn’t it?

It's a debate I'm having with a friend. Isn't there somewhere in the Bible that indicates we need to take care of ourselves? Not looking for an argument just curious. Not having a problem and she isn't either except for her self righteousness.

Why don't we see any news headlines about them bombing clinics, drowning their 5 children (Andrea Yates), cutting off their baby's arms (Dena Schlosser), shooting nuns in the back or flying planes into buildings?

Is there anything in the news about these athiests that I've somehow missed?

for those of you who say you dont need evidence: have you ever read something or heard something and doubted it without evidence to back it up? it doesnt necessarily have to do with religion, but any kind of category. have you ever said, "show me the proof" to anything at any point in your life? if you think that proving something else, other than god or religion is different than proving a god exists, please explain. if you can, explain without saying that when it concerns your god, all you need is faith. if all you need is faith concerning your god and religion, shouldnt it be all you need for every other aspect of your life as well?

for those of you who say "the bible is my evidence": have you ever cited just one book while writing a research paper in school?

for those of you who just believe you know that your god is real, do you want others to accept your decision and belief? if no, then thats cool, but if yes, then are you willing to accept other people's belief?

When I am Puzzled

i pray to you,ny saving God,
for i can't make sence of things;
I am puzzled and i need your help,
and the light your presence brings.

Give me faith,my dearest Lord,
to trust that you are near;
You know where all life's "pieces"go,
and you take away all fear.

May i hold fast to this belief
that you have a master plan;
So when i stray or fall behind,
please take me by the hand.
Amen

Ok Christian brethren...

The Bible states clearly that there is no hell as a place.

I challenge you to find me a Bible verse stating that non-believers go to a firey eternal damnation where they suffer forever. Find me a Bible verse describing hell as horrible place where the non-believers go.

The Bible also states that NO MAN will be judged until the end times. No one is judged till the end.

Is it more possible that all human souls, good and bad, are waiting in Sheol (LIKE THE BIBLE SAYS THEY ARE?) until the end times?

So why are you all saying that your gonna die and *poof* go to heaven or hell?

Finally, why are you all trusting the word of God that has been altered by man?

Stop using the NIV and the KJV... books that have been changed officially at least FIVE TIMES since the death of Christ.

WHY AREN'T YOU QUESTIONING YOUR FAITH AND THE MEN WHO ARE WRITING YOUR BIBLES AND GIVING YOU "THEIR" WORD OF GOD??

JESUS DID.

Does that mean that his body experience all the effects the body experience, like taking a dump,aging etc. Does heaven have a sewer system, will we be eating in heaven? And why would he go back with a body that was created on earth and not in heaven?

Do you think that the scripture at Matt 15:14 where Jesus said to the religious leaders of His time , you are like blind men leading the blind. You walk and fall into the pit and all of those following you also fall into the pit could apply to some of the religious leaders today?!

Christians and Jews agree that HaShem established berith (covenant) with Abraham and his children for ever and that through Moses the Torah was gifted to Israel that she might be a lamp to the nations. Thus Jews already have a covenant relationship with the Master of the Universe. Is it not possible for Christians to gain salvation through the Nazarean and Jews gain salvation they way they always have?
