Has anyone ever 'taught' from the book of Hebrews? And if so, what is Hebrews about?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hebrews is all about (as all the New Testament Scripture) -
Revealing Christ.
Hebrews does that very well...
Hebrews all about revealing that Christ is:
Greater than the prophets. 1:1-3
Greater than the angels. 1:4 -2:18
Greater than Moses. Chapter 3
Greater than Joshua. 4:1-13
Greater than Aaron. 4:14 - 10:18
Greater than any man of faith. Chapter 11 -12

Yes, I also have a commentary out on the book of Hebrews available at http://RedeemerPublishing.com -- the big idea in Hebrews is that Jesus is better. He is better than the angels, He is better than Moses, He is a better high priest, a better sacrifice, and a better temple.

The Book of Hebrews is about keeping the Church together through times of persecution.
The greatness of Jesus is expounded upon, freedom from the Law is remembered, and the Church is encouraged to continue meeting and exhorting one another to keep the faith and not return to the Old Testament temple worship they were once a part of. People of faith are mentioned as encouragement and God is presented as a watchfull Father.
Just my 2 cents worth,
Alan

The book of Hebrews is written to the Hebrews (imho anonymously by the Apostle Paul who was already persona non grata in Jewish circles at the time) as a commentary on:
Jeremiah 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Jesus taught through, and in, Hebrews >> how to have a perfect, clean, clear conscience standing or being in the Judgment Room of and in the immediate real presence of the Creator of All Life.

It is important to see that Hebrews is a message to Israelite Christians, who found Jesus as their Messiah as foretold; and some were trying to add Church Truth to their religion rather than see it as a new testament about the Church --Bride of Christ (a heavenly people). The Israelite religion was and will be in the future a people blessed of God. Their religion will be restored with a new covenant in the Millennium as an earthly people to rule over the Gentiles. Today they must come as the Gentiles and receive Christ as their Messiah to be saved for Heaven.
