Problem text Heb. 6
Paul Pierucki · January 23, 2026
In this Friday night Bible Institute session, Pastor Pierucki works through several "problem texts," apparent Bible contradictions, and shows how comparing scripture with scripture resolves them. The main study focuses on Hebrews chapter 6, where he explains that the people described were never truly saved but were enlightened, tasted the truth, and then rejected it, rather than being backslidden believers who lost their salvation. He defends eternal security, teaches that the finished work of Christ and His blood are sufficient payment for sin, and warns against pride and work salvation while urging listeners to humble themselves and be born again.
“Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this will we do, if God permit. 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, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 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.”
