THE LORD'S GOING FOR HIS COMING BACK TO THE DISCIPLES AS THE SPIRIT

Chapter 14 is the turning point of the Gospel of John. At the beginning of this chapter the Lord surprised the disciples by telling them that He was about to leave them. The disciples were greatly disappointed at the thought of losing the Lord. Then the Lord told them the truth, the fact, that His going would be not a loss to them but a gain. His going was not His leaving but His coming back; His going was His coming.
In verse 17 the Lord Jesus said that the Spirit of reality would be with the disciples, and then in verse 18 he said, “I am coming to you.” While He was speaking, He was already coming. His going was His coming. The day of His coming would be the day of resurrection (v. 20). It is as if the Lord were saying, “There is no need for you to worry. You should be happy. I am leaving, but I am coming. Moreover, My coming is to come into you. Now I am in the flesh; for that reason, I can only be among you. As long as I am in the flesh, I can never be in you. Therefore, I need to be transfigured from the flesh into the Spirit. I need to have a change in form. Through death and resurrection I will be transfigured, changed in form from the flesh into the Spirit.” It was in this way, by death and resurrection, that Christ became the life-giving Spirit.

After Christ was resurrected from the dead, and on the day of resurrection He came back to the disciples in a very mysterious way. On that evening the doors were shut in the house where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, but suddenly Christ was among them. Even though no one opened the door, He came into the room and told His disciples to touch His resurrected body. He came back in this mysterious way in order to do one thing, that is, to breathe Himself into the disciples.

He breathed into the disciples and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” Spirit in Greek is pneuma, which also means “breath.” At that time He was the Holy Breath for His disciples to breathe. It was in this way that Christ came into the disciples. In the Gospel of John there is no record of Christ’s ascension to the heavens. From that time on He was continually in the disciples as the Spirit, the Holy Breath.

I surrender. 

Rule of the thumb. Never argue with a Girl/Woman.

I did. The scripture verse was the finishing sentence at the end.
Don't worry about it, that verse is not what you think it is.

Every Christians have committed willful disobedient in his/her life. That is why God's Grace is the answer that helps us and leads us onwards.

And it's available fresh everyday.

How about this passage in Romans 7?
21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!

So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.

Romans 7 explains it clearest in verse 15 - 20
15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.c For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
As long as we are in this earthly body, the Sin nature which the Bible call the Flesh is in us. We need to be careful with definition. The Bible states that we have the nature of Flesh but we are not the flesh. We are a new creation in Christ.

That is why it's a daily battle for the repentance of the mind to believe that we (already) ARE a new creation, the old has gone, the new has come. Even though it doesn't seem like it. Why? Because of our body. Until we are cloth with our new Heavenly Body, this flesh nature is still there.

It is not the striving of our actions that changes but the repentance of the mind. Bible says Be transform by the renewing of our mind. Church traditionally preaches, repentance through our action but Bible say repentance start in the mind area first. Sometime it's because of wrong preaching using fear and intimidation of Hell, we get messed up in wrong theology. That to me is Man's teaching not of God. God's way is that his Grace always comes first (mercy, kindness and favor) that leads us to repentance.

So with this in mind, do you understand what Hebrews 10:26 is trying to say?

The key word here is not so much on deliberate sinning but "no sacrifice for sins is left". That is a very BIG Clue, what it's trying to convey.

Link the Bible in it's entirety.

The main theme is this: Apart from Christ, there is no hope and neither is repentance nor Salvation made available. The Law of God cannot provide this for us.
We already know this because we are handed with the complete Bible.
If you read Hebrews 10: 1-18, it explains why the Law cannot make us Holy, neither justify us or cleansed our sins. But by One Act of Christ, God has removed every sins of the believer forever. Verse 18 says it like this:

And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.


Do you see that? Sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary. What Jesus did was a DONE deal once and for all.

However, these people at that time, rejected Christ, despite having seen all that Christ has spoken and done. For them no sacrifice for sins is left. Because God has set aside and nullified the first covenant. (Hebrews 10:9  & Hebrews 8:13)

If you're concern about deliberate /willful sinning part, perhaps if you see this verse, you may understand better.

Hebrews 3:12 (NIV) - See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.

Meaning Unbelief is a Sin.

If you replace the word deliberate sinning with deliberate unbelief and read further down from Hebrews 10: 27-31, you may began to see the revelation.

After all, In Hebrews 3:13 it did say to encourage one another day after day and Hebrews 10:25 does say not giving up meeting together..
All these in context of encouraging one another through assemblies of the Church to spur on Faith.
If you look from Bird's eye view of all these. It's talking about people who willfully or deliberately reject Christ or choose not to believe in Him, for them, there is no more sacrifice of sins left and be brought back to repentance.
(Hebrews 10:26 & Hebrews 6:6).

I saw some altar in a restaurant where they have this big dude with a big spear.

Occasionally I would see beer can, lottery tickets, etc inside the altar too.
