Wow and thanks. I will have to reread this several times.

I really hate soundbites of scripture......

These Christians that came from Judaism had received an incredible blessing - they no longer needed to offer sacrifices

allow me a minor correction. as Christians we are taught to offer sacrifices to the Lord. spiritual sacrifices.

Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. --1 Peter 2:5

But in reality, if you are trusting in Jesus Christ to forgive your sins, you need not fear God's fury of fire. It is those who reject Christ, turning their back on His sacrifice who no longer have a sacrifice for their sins.

ahem, i notice you said IF we trust in Jesus, and spoke of those who reject Jesus. you are strengthening my case that there is freewill involved on our part and that it is possible to reject our gift of salvation by abandoning our faith in Jesus.

(BTW, it is a favorite verse of those who claim that we can lose our salvation. As if Christ is not greater than our sin. Our God is greater than sin and if He has chosen you, He will surely see your salvation on to completion.)

if He has chosen us? are you forgetting the need for us to choose Him?

29How 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?<<<<

Grace is not without responsibility nor is it to be trampled by our lifestyles, our habits, our attitudes and our ignorance.
