If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?
For we know him who said, "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," and again, "The Lord will judge his people." It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering. Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated. You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions.
So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. For in just a very little while, "He who is coming will come and will not delay. But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him."
But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.
(Hebrews 10:26-39) NIV
Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated.
Ummmm..., yes..., it happens all the time on Free Republic... :-)
“Today is the feast of St. Joseph the Worker. A feast that is particularly important to Italian-Americans. Hunh-hunh-hunh-hunh. I want to thank all the pro-abortion nuns for helping us put this life-affirming, abortion-funding legislation over the top. Hunh-hunh-hunh-hunh.”
( No Sacrifice Is Left ) for those HEBREWS who heard the truth ( THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST ) and rejected it, and went back to animal sacrificing....
In God’s eyes, it’s a detestable thing to hear the gospel , then, turn around and reject it, trample the blood of Christ under your feet, treat it as common as animal sacrifices and turn back to your own way to coming to God
“For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation?” Heb. 2:2-3
God has already turned his back on America, one needs only to look at the healthcare bill that was recently passed.
The actions that need to be taken to save our republic will be harder to take as the Obama secret police fond in the healthcare bill are recruited, trained and armed. Or as the leader of ACORN said, “We don’t want a war, that will come when we have our army.”
With Stevens retiring we loose the courts to leftist radicals. Progressive republicans like McCain, who BTW Sarah Palin supports, will aid in passing the remainder of the socialist agenda. She also stated taht her and McCain agree on what direction the country should take. So, she must support Cap and Trade, Amnesty, limits on free speech, TARP bailouts and how McCain slams conservatives.
Just look how Sen. McConnel aided the passage of the HC bill by not making them read the bill on the senate floor 7 months ago so we could have known what was in it.
Also note how they are now backing down from “Repeal the bill”
