Comments on Hebrews 6:4-6

‘Hebrews 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,’
Hebrews 6:5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
Hebrews 6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

The first part I would like to point out her is the term “For it is impossible for those”.

The writer stops with that though and then lists what type of people who those are. The list of who is listed in tese verses 4 & 5. Those who were once enlightened, Those who have tasted of the heavenly gift, Those who were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, Those who have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the world to come.

In verse 6 the writer picks up again were he stopped. He generalizes the who again, For it is impossible If they (the who) shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance. It is impossible to renew again(save them again if you please).

The writer also states in verse 6 why it is impossible to renew them again, because they would have to crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put Him (Jesus) to an open shame.
