Hebrews 6:1-8
Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2 of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3 And this we will do if God permits.
4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
7 For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God; 8 but if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.
"Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this we will do if God permits." However, right now in this present day, I believe Paul would have gone on to say because the God who runs our universe now wants to give us our inheritances. We're not allowed to debate God's word as the elementary teachers continue to do this day. He is the author and finisher of our faith, a faith more than just saying we believe His word. But we are to now act upon His word. He says, in verse 4 for it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit and God's good word and the power of the age to come if they fall away, to renew them again for themselves the Son of God and put Him to an open shame. (Proverbs 24:16) "For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again, but the wicked shall fall by calamity.." God would like for us to believe His word and set out on a path of righteousness one time, and one time only in belief. We have been created from dust and know only what we see and hear. It is now time for us to check into the powers of God and get our world jumping with joy and peace. God asks us to grow up. When we were children we acted as so, now let's put away those behaviors and grow up into vessels of God. We can't keep sitting around killing one another spiritually with our dead works. God asks us to draw near to Him, take one step, so He can take two. We are living in paradise and letting satan turn it into hell. The church must put away their discussions on baptism, the laying on of hands, etc. and begin to teach us the way to a humble heart, which brings God on the scene. It's time to live.
Blessings all as we turn our lands into paradise,
