Question 5

Difficult passage Hebrew 6:1-6

Answer 5

Why does the author give this warning? We don’t know who wrote, to whom, when. Speculation, but probably written to warn about heresy of judaizers, who insisted Gentiles should accept full orbed OT jewish life and circumcision.
If that is true, the writer could be using the ad hominem argument, taking his opponent’s presuppositions and making an argument with them, against the opponent. See Hebrews 6:9, which seems to say he has been speaking offhandedly, not teaching in a straightforward way.
g. This seems to be the answer: the writer is speaking using the Judaizers’ own logic against them. This section then would not be a repudiation of the teaching from Philippians.
