What is the willful sin...?

Question

in Hebrews 10?

Extension...do you willfully sin? . (Note - I willfully sin every day just like every living breathing Christian. You don't have to answer me, but please talk to your Father about this one.)

Hint - what is the sin referenced as a comparison from Moses time?

Answer 1

. For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Hebrews 10:26

This is referring to apostacy. The author wasn't speaking to the truly converted Christians. He was speaking to those Jews who had known the truth of Christ, but turned away and attempted to go back to the old laws expecting the blood of goats and lambs to continue to cover their sin. He was basically telling them it would no longer cover them. Jesus is the only way to God.

As for willfully sinning, no I try not to. But, like Paul said in Romans 7:14-24, I still am a human living in a body of flesh and there are times when the flesh wins the battle. Thankfully, Jesus Christ has already paid the penalty for me and you and anyone who will receive Him with a sincere heart and mind.

Answer 2

"Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin." James 4:17

"For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." Hebrews 10:30-31

Hebrews 10:30-31 is talking about the unsaved.

"Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face." Deuteronomy 7:9-10

"For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD," 1 Samuel 15:23

This can be said about the saved and lost.

In Hebrews 10, is talking about that we are no longer under the Law where we had to "...Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;" Hebrews 10:8

But now, because of Jesus, "By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;" Hebrews 10:10-12

"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man." Ecclesiastes 12:13

Answer 3

(HEBREWS 10:26-27) For if we practice sin willfully after having received the accurate knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice for sins left, 27 but [there is] a certain fearful expectation of judgment and [there is] a fiery jealousy that is going to consume those in opposition.

This means that once we have been given the Good News by whatever form of preaching, and then we go out and do something against that teaching, then we have lost the benefit of Jesus' sacrifice,
We no longer qualify for being saved at Armageddon.
virtually, we are dead men walking...

and notice...it says...ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE.

If we have received faulty information in the way of tradition, we still qualify to be saved.
Like the false teaching of ' once saved...always saved...

Answer 4

It is ignoring acts and believing in the myth of your choice anyway... oh wait, that's willful ignorance. Willful sin is when you know it's wrong but do it anyway. Unwillful sin is what Adam and Eve did in the garden, they had no clue of right and wrong, so they ran around naked. Also Eve had no idea that to disobey God was wrong, so she committed an unwillful sin by eating the fruit and now the whole of creation suffers because of her lack of knowledge.

Answer 5

Apostasy. That is when you are saved and have a personal relationship with Christ and turn your back on Him. People who do this are called apostates. They don't LOSE their salvation, but they LEAVE it and therefore blaspheme the Holy Ghost which is unpardonable. This is the correct answer. Peace.

Answer 6

Some of the questions on R&S about Jesus and his sexuality, or if we would have sex with the man... PALEZZZ! I want to see some real questions!

Really, it has to do if you commit the sin knowing that it is a sin, but that is if you believe that someone or thing else is responsible for your actions.

Answer 7

Murder, Suicide, and Illicit Gains Prohibited

[4:29] O you who believe, do not consume each others' properties illicitly - only mutually acceptable transactions are permitted. You shall not kill yourselves. GOD is Merciful towards you.

[4:30] Anyone who commits these transgressions, maliciously and deliberately, we will condemn him to Hell. This is easy for GOD to do.

[4:31] If you refrain from committing the gross sins that are prohibited for you, we will remit your sins, and admit you an honorable admittance.

Answer 8

Knowing what is wrong but doing it anyway. Throw the consequences out the window, but deal with it later.

Answer 9

it is loving your neighbor and rendering aide even though the religious establishment frowns upon it and tells you charity to the unbeliever is heinous

(good samaritan story)

I'd also say it's premeditated aforethought of misleading the US and taking a country into war and sparing your own twin daughters (Bush twins) and saying "god" told me to do it
