Hebrews 10:26-39 "Every Sin Committed Against the Son of Man will be forgiven him."

For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries. A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses. How much worse punishment do you think he will be judged worthy of who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know him who said, “Vengeance belongs to me,” says the Lord, “I will repay.” Again, “The Lord will judge his people.” It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings; partly, being exposed to both reproaches and oppression's; and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so. For you both had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens. Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward. For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise. “In a very little while, he who comes will come, and will not wait. But the righteous will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.” But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul. A redeemed soul still sins because it still has a sin nature. The redeemed soul indeed has two natures: The old man which is thy sinful self and the inner man, the born again soul of the spirit. I don't believe that any intentional sin voids salvation because Jesus said "Any sin against the Son of Man will be forgiven him. But denial of the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven in this world or in the world to come." In the same way the Apostle John said "If we confess our sins, he who is faithful and just will forgive our sins and set aside our unrighteousness." The good news is that sin is not forever. The day is coming where we will leave this world and be with Christ Jesus and there Satan has no dwelling place. Amen.
