I meant upside-down.Hardly, but that was the whole point of a dual nature in man which became a dual nature within the church. But there is only one Gospel of the Kingdom.
This passage reads as follows:I think that just means if we continue not in sin out of temptation or ignorance, but willful sin as a lifestyle, or as the norm in our lives, and without repentance, Christs sacrifice will no longer cover us.
And the latter don't know they're doin' anything wrong.You bet. Those of the Kingdom and those determined to keep the church worldly.
You're not out of order at all.
You just get stuff mixed up!
Try readin' more slowly.
Maybe upside down will help like it does Timmy.
Since the sin that this verse refers to, specifically, is the willful and continual rejection of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior
Hebrews 10:26 If we go on sinning willfullySince the sin that this verse refers to, specifically, is the willful and continual rejection of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, it seems to me that it cannot be referring to Christians.
Please go back and review our conversation.Why do you tell me I'm mixed up without telling me how?

So c'mon, go back and find out what it is.Something isn't right.

Hi BCsenior, Biblically, we know that the church was/is filled will posers, "tares" .. e.g. Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43, those who claim and may even believe themselves to be Christians (and who may even appear to be "super" Christians to themselves and others in the church), but who ~never~ knew Jesus, were never true Christians/born again from the get-go .. Matthew 7:22-23 (rather, they were sons/daughters of Satan .. Matthew 13:38b-39a).Hebrews 10:26 If we go on sinning willfully
after receiving the knowledge of the truth,
WOW! ... The first thing I see is that it applies to
BACS who are into habitual unrepentant sinning!
The churches are full of them!
Perhaps, the major reason is belief in eternal security.
And the clearest/most profound evidence that we have that someone who "claims" to be a Christian has actually become one (a true Christian/wheat), and not a poser (tare), is seen in how they choose to live their lives in regard to sin after making that claim (posers continue in/quickly return to living in sin, those who are born again .. those whose hearts have been quickened and have been given a new spirit by God, who are now indwelt by the Holy Spirit and have been caused to be born again, who have been justified & saved by God graciously through faith, and have been made His workmanship & thereby into wholly new creatures in Christ (Ezekiel 36:26-27; John 3:3; 2 Corinthians 5:17, 21, Ephesians 2:1-5, 8-10) .. do not (continue in their former, sinful ways/sinful "lifestyles"), rather (again), they seek forgiveness and repent whenever they do.
If someone who claims to have become a Christian/claims to be born again, never chooses to act like a Christian, then it's a sure bet that they never became a Christian to begin with (no matter what they claim or think they believe). The road to life is a narrow one, is it not, and few are the number who find it (out of all of those who are searching for it).How come so few then promote Jesus' Gospel of the Kingdom in favour of another?
You mentioned the Gospel of the Kingdom and another Gospel (St. Paul does so as well when speaking to the Galatians and St. Peter). Since you speak of this in so many of your posts here, perhaps you would be willing to tell us 1. what the other Gospel you refer to is, and 2. what 'you' believe the Gospel of the Kingdom is .. as well where/how you believe these two "Gospels" differ from one another?
Yikes, this thread sounds like faith is a work we must continually stir and summon, instead of it being a free gift of God's grace working in us continually.
Another what exactly?How come so few then promote Jesus' Gospel of the Kingdom in favour of another?
Which Gospel is incomplete?Short and simple.. The Gospel of the Kingdom which is contrary to the will of man is rarely used (and yes Paul taught it also) but instead another lesser gospel that allows man to continue in it's ways. The Gospel of the Kingdom is a complete Gospel while the other one only focuses on a part of the whole, the Messenger while ignoring His message that convicts the will of man (thus the world man has made). Especially useful to the politically minded or those creating their own kingdoms within the world of man.
