Hebrews 6:4-6, warns against falling away from the faith and those who do, cannot not be brought back to repentance because they are "crucifying the Son of God all over again."




WHY?




I done this. And my mind is now depraved. Theres no good in my mind, heart, and soul. Its just like I am forced into evil. Without a speck of good in me




When I was born again I was happy and had lvoe in my heart. then I became atheist and denied God Jesus and holy ghost. And fell away for to long and my mind is depraved and my heart is full of hatred. Theres no good in me. How come I cant be born again, again?

The sins, such as apostasy that would "crucify the Son of God again" are examples of mortal sins. The symptoms of a mortal sin are similar to the feelings you are experiencing. This is why the Church has provided the sacrament of confession.

I would talk to a priest as soon as possible. Catholic priests are used to dealing with these heavy-duty sins.

You became an athiest? I don't think so. The fact that you are concerned is proof that you are not an athiest. Seek the Father with all that is within yourself, if you truly feel that way. He will hear you if you are sincere, but you MUST be sincere.

You THOUGHT you were "born again", but evidently you were not, or else you would have stayed in the faith. This all depends on you, friend. Is it the most pressing need in your life? Does ANYTHING matter more than living a life of dedication to Him?

You can't have both worlds, so make the choice and go for it! You are being dealt with by His Spirit, or else this wouldn't matter to you. Time is short. Take advantage of the opportunity being given to you. This is between Him and you, so let Him show you the way...get into the Word.

Shalom! Prayers are being given for you.

Read verse 4 above verse 6 where it says, "For IT IS IMPOSSIBLE for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakes of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If 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.

The verses are saying this is what would happen to a saved person if he could fall away.

Trust the Holy Spirit my friend. What the Holy Spirit starts in you He is more than able to finish. It is the Holy Spirit who teaches us all things concerning Christ and it is the Holy Spirit who purifies and refines us.

Baby Christians often fall away. The Holy Spirit is a firm foundation.

Cry out to God - Father have mercy upon me. Fill me with your Spirit; come into my life and change it. I surrender my life to you. I believe what Jesus did on the cross for me and that He arose and is preparing a place for me in heaven.

Jesus said, "you must be born again." This is being born of the Spirit and reconnected to God the Father. The only good in any of us is Jesus Christ. Without Christ, we are nothing.

What I personally take from the passage is that if one has received all the glory from God and still reject hi and denounce him- then it is harder for that person to come back. A person that can turn their back on the beauty and wonder of God once received obviously has some kind of issues that may hinder them once again.
It is one thing to sin and lose grounding. To denounce Christ or God or the Hoy Spirit is on a different level.
Just remember that although your words may denounce him or you may fall away- your true heart and the holy spirit within you are what God is listening to. Just because your mouth pukes out absurdities does not mean that you heart is following along. If your true heart denounce God then chances are you weren't his to begin with.
Another thing- we tend to make our own interpretations of what God is saying or Jesus is saying in the Bible. We must not place limits on God- for he has no limits. He is everything and no matter what our interpretation of his word he has the final say. If you are truly repent and your heart has a true and honest love for God I believe that you will be forgiven.
Remember that it is never the forgiveness of God that causes the turmoil in our lives. It is the forgiveness of ourselves that we can't seem to grasp.

According to My Bible Commentary:
Impossible is used three times in the book of Hebrews. It is impossible for the blood of animals to take away sin (10:4), for Fod without faith (11:6). Here it is impossible to renew those who have fallen away from the faith (see v. 6) Enlightened is used in only one other place in Hebres (the word is translated illuminated in 10:32). In that verse, entruth. Tasted is used elsewhere in Hebrews of heavenly gift is to experience the gift of enternal be rendered "having fallen away." The fact the Greek text argues against the "hypotheical" interpretion of this passage (see v. 4). (3:12), a defection from the faith. To renew sible for continuous effort on the part of any apostate back to fellowship with God. This is exhort one another to avoid a hard heart. Continuing Christian immaturity is dangerous. crucify again: Departing from the faith amounts ion of Him all over again.
6:7-9 The author tells a short parable relating to agriculture to illustrate the spiritual truths "disqualified," and the word is used of believers (1 Cor 9:27;2 Cor 13:5, 7) Note that the ground that produced thorns is not cursed; instead it is near to being cursed (see 1 Cor 11:29-31;2 Cor 13:5,7) Note that ground that produced thorns is not cursed; instead it is near to being cursed (see 1 Cor, 11:29-31). Its ultimate end is burning, perhaps indicating the earthly, temporal judgment of God. Perhaps this parable is an allusion to the fire which Jesus will use to reveal the quality of a believer's works (see 1 Cor. 3:11-15). With the warmth and affection of the title beloved, the author assures the Hebrews that he is confident of better things for them. Their good works were signs to the author that they had received Christ (v. 10).

I went a little more than you asked but, I hope this helps you out! Take care.

Well that part of scripture is talking about people who had enjoyed a relationship with the Holy Spirit, so full in their conviction that Jesus is the son of God and the Holy Spirit is our counselor and that those who don't know Jesus before they die will go to hell. If despite knowing all this, they turn away from God, then there is no more repentance, since you knew what the consequences were.
why is your heart full of hatred? did God upset you, or someone offend you and and you haven't forgiven them? if you return to Christ, you will no longer be a slave to sin. you might still sin, but you won't be controlled by it. If you ask God for help He won't turn you down.

There are a number of scriptures that indicate the severity of turning away from God. But, in keeping with Jesus' sermon on the mount, our heart is what determines our state of salvation. If you fall away from the faith; choose to live a life of sin that separates you from God, the Hebrew writer says that Jesus' blood will not cover you. But you can choose to come home! God is still waiting, Jesus is still calling, and the Spirit is willing to lead you home. If you've obeyed the gospel...if you've repented for your sin, if you've confessed Jesus as your personal Savior, if you've been baptized and have access to the blood of Jesus, if you want to change; just tell God. Of course, attaching yourself to the church helps keep us from turning away from God. I'd suggest doing that, too.

Hi there,

The book of Hebrews is a "argument" between the Jews and Christians of who is right and who is wrong. I think it will be better if you can read the whole book, and see it in it's contence.
Your question actually was if you fall back you cruxifiy Jesus all over again...well that is what the Christians say to their fellow christians who wanted to go back to the Jewish religion. Remember who did crusify Jesus ...the Jews.. and that was their argument.

Don't worry if you wondered off and want to come back to Jesus. He will accept you as you are, and will not judge you.

I hope this info helped you..if not drop me a e-mail so I can try to explain to you in more detail

Cheers

Mature servants of Jehovah personally apply Paul’s counsel: “Do not put out the fire of the spirit.” (1 Thessalonians 5:19) Since God’s spirit is “the spirit of holiness,” it is clean, pure, sacred. (Romans 1:4) When operating upon us, that spirit is thus a force for holiness, or cleanness. It helps to keep us in a clean way of life that is marked by obedience to God. (1 Peter 1:2) Any unclean practice constitutes a disregarding of that spirit, and that can have disastrous consequences. How so?

Well, Paul wrote: “Do not be grieving God’s holy spirit, with which you have been sealed for a day of releasing by ransom.” (Ephesians 4:30) The Scriptures identify Jehovah’s spirit as a seal, or a ‘token of what was to come,’ for faithful anointed Christians. And that is immortal heavenly life. (2 Corinthians 1:22; 1 Corinthians 15:50-57; Revelation 2:10) God’s spirit can direct anointed ones and their companions with an earthly hope in a life of faithfulness and can help them to avoid sinful works.

The apostle warned against tendencies toward falsehood, stealing, shameful conduct, and so forth. If we allowed ourselves to drift toward such things, we would be going against the spirit-inspired counsel of God’s Word. (Ephesians 4:17-29; 5:1-5) At least to a degree, we could thus be grieving God’s spirit, and surely that is something we want to avoid. For that matter, if any of us began to ignore the counsel of Jehovah’s Word, we might start to develop attitudes or traits that could result in willful sin and the total loss of divine favor. (Hebrews 6:4-6) Though we might not be practicing sin right now, we could be heading in that direction. By continually going contrary to the leading of the spirit, we would be grieving it. We would also be resisting and grieving Jehovah, the source of holy spirit. As those who love God, we never want to do that. Rather, may we pray for Jehovah’s help so that we do not grieve his spirit but are able to bring honor to his holy name by continuing to mind the spirit.

Mossie is right in that Hebrews is an argument between Jewish and Gentile Christians.
However TexasJew hit the nail on the head.
It's like the passages are saying 'do you really think that a true believer could fall away. That would be like putting Jesus back on the cross. Impossible! The person in this situation was never a true believer in the first place.'

Here is an except from Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on those verses:

The apostle is not speaking of the falling away of
mere professors, never convinced or influenced by the gospel. Such have nothing to fall away from, but an empty name, or hypocritical profession. Neither is he speaking of partial declinings or backslidings. Nor are such sins meant, as Christians fall into through the strength of temptations, or the power of some worldly or fleshly lust. But the falling away here mentioned, is an open and avowed renouncing of Christ, from enmity of heart against him, his cause, and people, by men approving in their minds the deeds of his murderers, and all this after they have received the knowledge of the truth, and tasted some of its comforts. Of these it is said, that it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance. Not because the blood of Christ is not sufficient to obtain pardon for this sin; but this sin, in its very nature, is opposite to repentance and every thing that leads to it. If those who through mistaken views of this passage, as well as of their own case, fear that there is no mercy for them, would attend to the account given of the nature of this sin, that it is a total and a willing renouncing of Christ, and his cause, and joining with his enemies, it would relieve them from wrong fears. We should ourselves beware, and caution others, of every approach near to a gulf so awful as apostasy; yet in doing this we should keep close to the word of God, and be careful not to wound and terrify the weak, or discourage the fallen and penitent. Believers not only taste of the word of God, but they drink it in. And this fruitful field or garden receives the blessing. But the merely nominal Christian, continuing unfruitful under the means of grace, or producing nothing but deceit and selfishness, was near the awful state above described; and everlasting misery was the end reserved for him. Let us watch with humble caution and prayer as to ourselves.




So set aside your fears and come to the Lord Jesus. He sees your heart as no one else can.

The reason those people can not be "re-saved" is given in the scripture. It says they can not be brought back to repentence. They have turned so far from God that they are no longer capable of feeling remorse for their sins, or desire to be free of them. So the sacrifice of Christ is not longer of an value for them - because they will not use it.

The fact that you feel remorse, see your sin, and want to be free means that you have not yet reached that point. You are willing to repent.

How to do it - begin with a prayer of recommittment to Christ. Then go looking for a good, Bible teaching church where the pastor or some of the church elders are willing to take the time to help, support and mentor you. One step at a time they (with God) can help you to get yourself turned around (which is what "repentence" means.
