5:11-6:12
(v6:1-2) “Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.”
(v1) “…us…
Before we start, “HA!”
I had to get that out of my system before continuing on in my little walk through Hebrews. Because from all and every angle you look at this verse, the it is talking to “…us…”
The issues that were plaguing the early church is not all that different from the ones that are ripping “…us…” apart. On top of all the things that Adam brought upon us, namely sin, the church had and is still struggling with the issues of doctrine that have been burning bridges in every aspect of our lives. What do the “…us…” of today struggle with? The Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian talk about when regarding the doctrine? Its namely, “…the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.” (this is good cuz crtl+c, crtl+v is much easier than typing)
And God’s reply to our strife? “Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity,…”
So… immature… “…us…”
