Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of twoContinue reading “Hebrews 10: 26-31….Is this really true?”
Hebrews 10: 8-18….Christ – the Perfect sacrifice
When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), then he added, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He does away with the first in order to establish the second.
