I dont use commentaries, or "greek", or any of this..
So, you'll have to check out wiki for yourself.
Why is that particularly Catholic? If you don't want to answer then don't of course. I've asked you three times now.
What I picked up on is this seems to foster doubt. So the question is, does God want us to be in doubt?
This word 'we" is the stumbling stone that causes all Legalists to use Hebrews as their way to deny the Grace of God.
I think ive spent more time on Forums, talking about this one verse, and this one Epistle, trying to lead self savers away from how this Epistle and also Matthew....as these 2 are used by the devil to ruin faith.
He also uses James.
All legalist's live in Hebrews, James, and Matthew, because these Epistles talk about Christ rejection, and the unskilled in the word, apply it to themselves, and often once this stronghold of "how i can lose my salvation" is imbedded in them, ...regarding these 3 Epistles, this stronghold is nearly impossible to break.
Satan uses these 3 epistle to empower the self righteousness in a believer, like a CHAIN of Deception.
Koine Greek.
The KJV is written on about a 5th Grade level.
The issue isn't that its hard to read, its that it has to be spiritually discerned.
When its not, you become lost in reasoning, which is the enemy of Faith.
Remaining in Christ is born out by the way we live our lives, by the fruit that results in other words. Not by just talk or personal opinion or the way we might prefer to see ourselves.Some believe even if you remain in Christ, there's still room for doubt.
The truth is that all should fear eternal separation from God, the source of all goodness, light, love, and sheer unbridled happiness. But the more we know and love Him, the more we embrace Him-and that love ultimately expels any fear. And love expels sin, by its nature, in the process. That's where He seeks to draws us all to.
Paul's gospel of the Cross, was rejected by those Hebrews, in Chapter 10 and in Chapter 28 of Acts
Paul even tells them in Acts 28, that He is taking the Gospel of the Cross to the Gentiles, because they will believe it.

And how about eternal torment just because you didn’t believe? '
I agree with that except I think the process continues after death - God eternally knocking and us potentially eternally .
You haven't given a single reason for why you think I might be doing that.
The BLOOD is His LOVE. The whole motivation for Him shedding His blood is love
You have no idea of what you are talking about.
Listen.
Hell and the Lake of fire, were not created for man.
They were created for the devil and his angels, who chose to go with Him when God cast him out of Heaven, and Jesus said "I beheld the devil as lightning fall from heaven"
So, you have the wrong understanding of why people go to hell.
Its like this fhansen...
God allows you to end up in eternity, where you chose to Go, by becoming born again, or not on EARTH.
Heaven and Hell, are just destinations, that you choose, by receiving Christ or by rejection of Christ.
God does not send you to heaven, nor does God send you to Hell.
What God does, is RESPECT YOUR CHOICE, to go, after you die, ... based on what you did with Christ while you were BREATHING.
The unbelievers are children of the devil., and they go where their FATHER is destined to Go.
The born again, are children of God, and they end up, where their Father exits.
There are three Catholic theologians I know of who are well known for not believing in the doctrine of eternal torment. I pointed that out because the subject of Catholicism was recently discussed in this thread.
You never sin?
I figured you'd resort to that-and then offer no reason for your objection. But address that same post #1355 without that verse-it stands true either way.
Why do you feel you are called to teach and was this calling confirmed by a church?
Are you really authorised to judgeth all things?
Yes, but one can choose to accept that and be born again, or they can choose to reject it and not be born again.
ITs not a minority view, it is in fact total nonsense.
To think that the thousands who went to hell today, who are now wide eyed and mind blown, ...that they would not want to have a 2nd chance to BELIEVE....and get out of there !!!!!!!!
Get REAL.
