OK, one more try...What is the willful sin of Hebrews 10?

Question

Thanks tebone...why do we complicate this so much?

If we constantly ask Jesus for forgiveness over and over, day after day, are we making substitutionary sacrifices because our heart proclaims that the Blood of Christ is not sufficient?

Answer 1

The willful sin is rejection of God's gift of salvation

Answer 2

Any sin.... if one knows that whatever it is, is a sin, and continuest to do it....

sin is any act against The Word and Will of God for mankind

... as part of the "law" of God for those of The Nation of Israel sacrifices had to be made to "pay" for ones sins... part of the deal was that the one making the sacrifice had to genuanly want and believe that he would not commit that sin again... if one made the sacrifice and really did not intend, at least to try very hard, to stop commiting the sin... then the sacrifice had no meaning... and further sacrfice would be meningless....

Now... for those of The Church who have had their sin debt paid by The Blood of Christ's Sacrifice(The Final Sacrifice... no other blood sacrifices will be acceptable to God)... when we ask God for forgivness we do so in The Name of Christ. And if we are sincere God will see no sin in us...because Christs Blood has washed it from us... but if the prayer for forgivness is not sincere the Sacrifice of Christ is not effective and the sin is still there... and there can be no claim of being covered by Christ's sacrifice... so long as one begs forgivness yet in truth knows they are not sincere... there is no Sacrifice to cover them...

Answer 3

Which bible are you reading from, this is from the amplified bible:
Ecclesiastes 7:17
[Although all have sinned] be not wicked overmuch or willfully, neither be foolish--why should you die before your time?
Ecclesiastes 7:16-18 (in Context) Ecclesiastes 7 (Whole Chapter)
Hosea 10:9
O Israel, you have [willfully] sinned from the days of Gibeah [when you all but wiped out the tribe of Benjamin]! There [Israel] stood [then, only] that the battle against the sons of unrighteousness might not overtake and turn against them at Gibeah [but now the kingdom of the ten tribes and the name of Ephraim shall be utterly blotted out].
Hosea 10:8-10 (in Context) Hosea 10 (Whole Chapter)
1 Corinthians 15:34
Awake [ from your drunken stupor and return] to sober sense and your right minds, and sin no more. For some of you have not the knowledge of God [you are utterly and willfully and disgracefully ignorant, and continue to be so, lacking the sense of God's presence and all true knowledge of Him]. I say this to your shame.
No scripture in Romans. Its in everyones's sin nature to sin, we all sin daily, no one is perfect, but Jesus. We get regenerated when we become saved and become more like him.

Answer 4

son, there isn't many "christians" who know what this means! and, like the last time, they make a "big-deal" out of it...not knowing exactly what it is talking about...and, because you ask, i know you are not in the position of committing this sin... nor are any others at this time...let's see......take the apostle Paul......let's review his status with the Lord....born again, filled with the Spirit, taught by the Holy Spirit, and had "revealations of Jesus Christ Himself,..a "5-fold minister chosen by Christ to be in His church to His people...who "knew the mystery of Salvation" who received prophetic words from the Lord of future events...started churches in many places...suffered for Christ.. are we getting this picture? now...if "Paul" were to "backslide" and give up on his salvation..and rebuke the Holy Spirit..and say that all he was taught and learned was a "lie" and tell Jesus to go and take a flying leap off a short pier...and "mean this with his whole heart!" not just because he was upset, or hurt, or mad....(P-O'ed) and the Lord came to him and talked with him and Paul still told the Lord he wanteed "nothing more to do with HiM anymore....and it was "Final!" etched in stone! and God turned him loose......and let's say later on...Paul had a change of mind....and come to the Lord and said..you know what? i was wrong....sorry...but Paul could never be forgiven again after reaching such a position in God...and attaining "sonship" and "trashing it" and stomping it into the ground!!!! because Jesus would have to come and die for Paul all over again..and this is not possible......Now do you understand?

Answer 5

I could be wrong but what I believe it is talking about is... If you have had an undeniable knowledge of God and Jesus Christ, given to you by the Holy Ghost, and you turn away from it or deny it and return to the thing of the world.

Answer 6

Could it be the rejection of Christ?
Because here what it says:
"And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment." 1 John 3:23 (King James Version)
