Q4. (Hebrews 9:9) Why were external sacrificial regulations unable to cleanse or perfect the conscience? To be cleansed and have a clear conscience we must accept the sacrifice that Jesus made for us. He offered us forgiveness and salvation, we have to receive it.

We have to humble ourselves before God and ask for forgiveness to clear our conscience so we can have access to God. What is necessary for us to be able to come "boldly" (4:16)? To be able to come boldly, we have to accept the Sacrifice that Jesus made for us.

Q3. Restoration from Apostasy
AngelOnLine replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 5. Warnings Against Apostasy (Hebrews 5:11-6:12)
Q3. (Hebrews 6:4-6) What is apostasy? A total and conscious decision to turn away from Christ. Why is it impossible from a practical standpoint to restore apostates to Christian faith and practice? There is no salvation available for those who reject Christ. They can get so far removed from Him that their hearts and hardened and they are unable to repent. What point was Jesus making in his Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23)? If our heart is as hard as the ground is in the parable, we can hear the Word but are unable to believe and grow in our Faith. What is Jesus' point of the Parable of the Tares or Weeds (Matthew 13:24-30)? Followers of Christ and non-believers will be together in this world, but at Judgment God will separate the Believers from the non-believers. -
