Hebrews 6: So let us stop going over the basic teachings about Christ again and again. Let us go on instead and become mature in our understanding. Surely we don’t need to start again with the fundamental importance of repenting from evil deeds and placing our faith in God. 2 You don’t need further instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 And so, God willing, we will move forward to further understanding.
4 For it is impossible to bring back to repentance those who were once enlightened—those who have experienced the good things of heaven and shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the power of the age to come— 6 and who then turn away from God. It is impossible to bring such people back to repentance; by rejecting the Son of God, they themselves are nailing him to the cross once again and holding him up to public shame.
 
this is one of the times I am not a fan of paul.. if he wrote this book... it seems they are unsure who wrote this because it was much better writing technique than paul normally is known for... whoever wrote it.. I am not their friend... I have fallen away from God over and over throughout this lifetime.. and while I think it will never happen again... it did.. but I don't believe God gave up on me.. or determined I was worthless or it was impossible to bring me back to repentance... I just got sidetracked by self....
 
I am so thankful that God does not give up on us.... so thankful that He gave me one more chance after the 300,000 I had already messed up on...
