Trying to Find Protestant Reponse to Hebrews 10:26-27

[CampionTheChampion]

What do you propose as the payment if there is none left?

I’m tired of repeating myself, so this is the last time.

I propose they receive the sacrifice of Christ again. I do not find you’re once damned always damned convincing. Did you have a sacrifice for your sins before you were saved? No. Do you now have a sacrifice for your sins? I’d presume so. Therefore, if it’s happened before, obviously it can happen again. Our God is a God of second chances.

Not meaning for you to repeat your self. By your interpretation if no sacrifice remains and certain judgement is to come the person cannot use Christ.

if no sacrifice remains and certain judgement is to come the person cannot use Christ.

You changed what the Scripture says. It says “a terrifying expectation of judgement” (NASB).

Hey, OSAS never made sense to me. When I was Protestant I never even met anyone who believed it!

 

[TheLittleLady]

UNLESS you believe in double predestination. Then, that person has no chance to ever return to Christ (again, playing Devil’s Advocate, I never believed this).

 

[jericho777]

I was paraphrasing. The fact remains Christ’s sacrifice won’t cover the sin and a sure judgement will follow.

As a Catholic I had the same objection to the argument in the OP.

I’m not sure I agree with your argument here. Christ is not re sacrificed. I would accept that it does not mean that reconciliation is impossible, just that it is not by means of sacrifice (that has already happened).

With that in mind I now accept your OP.

1 We are referring to someone who has received the knowledge of truth (presumably saved)
2. They sin
3. They now face the prospect of judgement.

 

[jericho777]

I wasn’t suggesting Christ would need to be resacrificed since that contradicts scripture. Somehow the OP was saying they would need to accept Christ again but that according to his interpretation is an impossibility.

I’m not sure I agree with your argument here. Christ is not re sacrificed. I would accept that it does not mean that reconciliation is impossible, just that it is not by means of sacrifice (that has already happened).

I spoke sloppily. I didn’t mean one who falls should re-sacrifice Christ, but rather, the one who falls should re-receive the same sacrifice through some sort of reconciliation. Maybe this isn’t how we should understand reconciliation, and I’m willing to concede this. To be honest, I only understand the basics of how Catholics see reconciliation.
