It doesn't say that, you assume it says that. Hebrews 10:26-31 is about rejecting the Covenant.As we see in Heb 10 continuing willfully sinning will lead us to losing salvation.
Under Mosaic law, only certain offenses were worthy of death.
Idolatry, Sabbath breaking and adultery. All 3 of which are representative of being in a covenant relationship.
And if you are born-again you have not rejected the Covenant of peace. You have accepted it.
But you really don't understand either verse, so what's the point?Maybe we should read Heb 6 with Heb 10 in mind:
Hebrews 6:4-6 is not saying someone can lose or reject there salvation.
Read the verses before it.
Do those things.
He is stating verses 4-6 as something that cannot happen.
but if it could happen, it would be impossible to get it back.
If we possess eternal life and don't live forever, did we have eternal life? No, would live forever if we at one point ever possessed eternal life.
God has given His Spirit to us a earnest payment.
For God to give us the Spirit and not give us eternal life would mean God broke a promise. And God always keeps His promises.
Psalm 15:4 says a godly man swears to his own hurt.
That is he keeps a promise even if it is inconvenient to do so.
Do you think God would break His promise because He didn't like the result of our lives?
