Hebrews 1:13 – 2:13

This time we continue with Hebrews’ comparison of Christ to the angels, warnings about angels, the Lord compared to Adam, the leading of the Spirit, prophecy, the fact that Jesus is not reigning in his kingdom, the sufficiency of Christ’s cross work, solving discrepancies, disagreements and contradictions in the Bible by right division, and the witnesses proving the intended doctrinal audience for the Hebrews is believing Jews going into the tribulation and the kingdom.

We examine the confusion in the denominational churches who insist the kingdom is here and Jesus in on his throne, despite Hebrews’ clear teaching that this is false. “Why was I not filled with the Holy Spirit with flames of fire and rushing winds like the apostles were in Acts 2?” “Why can’t we speak extemporaneously in foreign languages?” “Why are we unable to sell all we have and give it to the poor?” “Why when we lay hands on the sick, do they fail to recover?” “Why, after we believe, do we still sin in violation of I John 3:9?” “Why if we’re bit by a snake does it harm us?” “Why if we drink deadly things do we die?” “Why do none of the signs and wonders and actions of the 12 apostles in the gospels and early Acts work for believers today? “

We look at how Paul had to put a stop to open sin, based on false doctrine infiltrating the church in Corinth, and take the point that “quenching the Spirit” and “despising prophecy” have as much to do with false doctrine as with carnal sin. We look at the discrepancies between verses that state Jesus died for all, and those that imply he only died for some, (and we solve it via I Cor 2:8 , Col 2:15 and right division).

We then veer into some history around the 500th anniversary of William Tyndale’s translation of the New Testament into modern English, and the English Bible that essentially gave us the English language and perhaps the greatest age of salvation in history.
