| Paul tracks this same line of thought in Colossians 2:11through Colossians 3:5.Can believers continue in sin? Certainly not. We are dead to sin.What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who |

| 26Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins. 27There is only the terrible expectation of God�s judgment and the raging fire that will consume his enemies. 28For anyone who refused to obey the law of Moses was put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29Just think how much worse the punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God, and have treated the blood of the covenant, which made us holy, as if it were common and unholy, and have insulted and disdained the Holy Spirit who brings God's mercy to us. HEBREWS 10 |

| 'Receiving knowledge of the truth' could mean hearing the gospel message and rejecting it. The passage explains itself, in my opinion, in that in the law of Moses, the people were covered because of who they were as Israelites. The High Priest took care of business for them each year. |

| It means, if you deliberately go on sinning, you're done. Don't thrown away your confident hope in Christ. Remember when you lost everything for Jesus? Don't trample on Him. Remain faithful. Patient endurance is what you need so you will continue to do God's will. Read the rest of 10 if that isnt enough direction for Christians who had turned from religious rigamorole to Jesus. When we turned to Him, we are still to stop sinning. |

| Thanks Travis,Context is vital to accurately understanding any passage. too many words is preferable to plucking a verse out of context to argue a point. So: |

| Post subject: | bradfreeman: Hebrews 10is a different topic. Paul (or whoever) is writing to Hebrews about making the transition from an old covenant (works righteousness) to a better new covenant (faith righteousness). In Hebrews 3and 4 Paul identifies the sin that ke |

| I suppose its easy enough for folks to view this passage differently - especially if you don't put it in the context of the new covenant promise immediately preceding it that He will remember our sins and lawless deeds no more again removing the need for any further sacrifice. See Heb. 10:17Heb. 10:17 “And their sins and their lawless deedsI will remember no more.” |

| Come back five years from now and we will still find Brad Freeman writing these 2000 word thought pretzels on Actscelerate explaining how you can give a verbal acknowledgment to Jesus while your life actions mean nothing. |

| Anyone could be convinced in a logical debate to accept that Jesus was the Christ but never receive in the way Tom has described above. Those individuals would certainly fall into the same category as those who heard the gospel and rejected it, in my opinion. |
