One night, in 2003, my grandmother on my dad's side told me "Maybe your Mom wanted better for you," and "I know you have had to go homeless before."
My Mom, Katherine Denise Nash (Maiden name), is so beautiful. I have seen her high school yearbook. I have always been a 'Momma's boy.'
I can remember going to the beach with her, which she loved. I remember her sitting in the chair, and just taking everything in. I remember reading about how my Dad had told our long time family friends how beautiful she was, in regards to him marrying her.
In 2006 I asked God to give me a somber song. And little did I know that this gift was going to be straight from my Mom. I was meditating on how somber the Red Hot Chili Peppers are, and Tool as well, and I wanted an eternal somber song. To me, somber means having a type of tranquility or peace of mind. I had even told my mentor something, in regards to the somberness of my Mom, which I know she sought for, for instance, even taking in a picture of the sky or beach, on a book cover. And my first point was something negative about what I saw my mom doing. My main point that I told my Mentor, about what I saw, really is best described in viewing tranquility as a drug that has to be injected, and which is only a placebo at best, regardless of how good a person's intentions might be. And I believe the etymology of the word 'tranquility' shows what I have just described. But God opened my eyes farther, unto His blessings and beauty and salvation, and I saw my Mom's heart. I believe that God has now given me a somber song within me from my Mother, and I also believe that He has abundantly revealed to me her blessing to me. And I believe it is this: that salvation is all inclusive, and that nothing can separate us from Christ. Since 2006 I had searched for the meaning of Hebrews 6, and today I received it, in this way: God told me that His sacrifice was all inclusive, and that anyone who attempts to preach salvation by works is antichrist, just as the Muslim religion, which directly denies Jesus as the Messiah, which no other religion does, is itself a doctrine that says that salvation is by works, and thus is Antichrist. And so what is spoken in Hebrews 6 about crucifying the Lord Jesus again, is in the context in which someone attempts to preach the doctrine of salvation by works, as if Jesus' sacrifice was not enough, this attempting to say that works are required for salvation, and that a person can't be saved if they continue in sin.
I believe that James was talking semantics with what he wrote about works perfecting faith. However, the Bible does speak about certain people being saved, even though they are in sin, as it says that a person can enter into heaven, having his sinful clothes (outsides) burnt off. And Jude also describes someone, saying that believers should hate their clothing, even if they are still saved by grace. And these two things are summed up in Paul's words, in which he says to depart from sin, if you name the LORD; also saying that anyone who claims he is a brother must not have immorality.
But I just can't bring myself to telling someone that they have outsides that I am commanded to hate. And therefore I still take up my cross, within my life, no matter what sin I am in, as I believe my gospel is one of giving beauty for ashes and spoil before the Promised Land, these things not containing judging or condemning. And I believe that this is the over-riding law of the Spirit that is fulfilled, as Paul, shown above commanding the things concerning a person's clothes, who is still in sin, also says: "Stay in the calling in which you were called," and "Stand free in the LORD, and do not become entangled with any other yoke of bondage." And thus there is full and everlasting salvation for people who BELIEVE in Jesus, though they might also still sin. Therefore such people, including myself, are not sinning so that grace may abound, but are partaking of the sacrificed flesh and blood of Christ. What's the difference, and why don't we have to go onto having works, and not just grace and faith, as if we are taking advantage of the freedom we have been given? The difference is in being saved by faith, and having spiritual works which means that we BELIEVE in Christ, and Him as love, and thus are eternally saved.
So to wrap up Hebrews 6, to attempt to say that we HAVE to 'leave Egypt,' as I have spoken about before, and have works, is to attempt to crucify Christ again, and put Him to an open shame, as if His already finished sacrifice, grace, and gift of FAITH, wasn't enough. Why do any have to then run their race still, and enter in, and or leave Babylon (2 Corinthians 6-7, Revelation: leaving Babylon)? And how are they to do it? Spiritually, just as it is the soul which enters in, in this present time and distress, as the body can't enter in until we are given incorruptible bodies. THEREFORE, TO ATTEMPT TO HAVE A HOLY BODY, WITHOUT FIRST SPIRITUALLY HAVING WORKS, WITH THE SOUL ENTERING INTO THE PROMISED LAND, HAVING ONE'S INSIDES REGARDED AS PERFECT AND INCORRUPTIBLE, IS TO FALL AWAY FROM GRACE, as Paul speaks about in Galatians, and that is FALLing AWAY ACCORDING TO HEBREWS 6, AS THE SOUL ISN'T PRIORITIZED ABOVE THE BODY, CAUSING THE BODY TO ONLY HAVE A TYPE OF HOLINESS, BUT A DENIAL OF HIS POWER, GIVING ONE'S SPIRITUALITY TO BEAR THORNS AND BRIERS, EVEN THOUGH THEIR BODY MAY CLAIM TO HAVE A TYPE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, JUSTIFICATION, AND HOLINESS. People fall away through judging and condemning in a full measure, when they themselves aren't spiritually complete yet. And thus these things are the 'rules' Paul speaks about, in regarding to running our race 'according to the rules.'
