Part 2: Top 30 Forum Q&A (The Believer’s Struggle)

I have analyzed the most active discussions on r/Christianity, r/Bible, and GotQuestions regarding the Book of Hebrews.

1. Q: Who wrote the Book of Hebrews? A: The text is anonymous. Historically, the church attributed it to Paul, but many scholars (including Origen) suggest Apollos, Barnabas, or Luke due to the polished Greek style, which differs from Paul’s. Ultimately, “only God knows.”

2. Q: Who is Melchizedek? A: He was a mysterious King/Priest in Genesis 14 who blessed Abraham. Hebrews uses him as a “type” of Christ—a priest forever, not based on Levite ancestry, but on an indestructible life.

3. Q: Can I lose my salvation? (Hebrews 6:4-6) A: This is the most debated passage. Some say yes, apostasy is possible. Others (Reformed/Calvinist) say these people were never truly saved (tasted but didn’t swallow). Both agree: the warning is real, so preserve in faith.

4. Q: What does “word is quick” mean (Heb 4:12 KJV)? A: In 1611 English, “quick” meant “alive” or “living.” The Word of God is not dead text; it is a living, active force.

5. Q: Why does Hebrews talk so much about angels? A: The Jewish audience may have been tempted to worship angels or view the Law (given by angels) as superior to Jesus. The author proves Jesus is the Creator of angels, not a peer.

6. Q: What is the “New Covenant”? A: It is the fulfillment of Jeremiah 31. God writes His law on our hearts (internal desire) rather than on stone tablets (external compulsion), mediated by the blood of Jesus.

7. Q: Why are there no more animal sacrifices? A: Hebrews 10 explains that animal blood only “covered” sin temporarily. Jesus’ blood “removed” sin eternally. Once the perfect payment is made, no further payment is needed.

8. Q: What is the “Hall of Faith”? A: Hebrews 11. It lists OT saints who lived by faith, not seeing the full promise but trusting God. It serves as evidence that faith pleases God.

9. Q: What does “chastening” mean in Hebrews 12? A: It refers to child-training or discipline. It is not punishment for sin (Jesus took that), but corrective guidance from a loving Father to produce holiness.

10. Q: Is it a sin to miss church? A: Hebrews 10:25 commands us not to forsake assembling. While missing a week isn’t a “sin” that damns you, habitual isolation is dangerous and disobedient to the design of the faith.

11. Q: What is the “Throne of Grace”? A: In the OT, the Ark was the throne of judgment. Because of Jesus’ blood, it is now a place where we find mercy and help, not condemnation.

12. Q: Why does Hebrews call Jesus an “Anchor”? A: An anchor holds a ship steady in a storm. Jesus, having entered Heaven (behind the veil), secures us to God regardless of the storms of life.

13. Q: What is “the day approaching” in Heb 10:25? A: The Second Coming of Christ and the Final Judgment.

14. Q: How can Jesus be tempted but without sin? A: Temptation is the suggestion of evil; sin is the agreement with it. Jesus felt the pressure but never yielded to it.

15. Q: What does “without shedding of blood is no remission” mean? A: Sin is a capital offense against a Holy God. Life (blood) is required to pay the debt. Jesus paid this with His own blood.

16. Q: Is the Sabbath still in effect? A: Hebrews 4 argues that there is a “Sabbath rest” for the people of God, which is found in ceasing from striving for salvation by works and resting in Christ’s finished work.

17. Q: What is the “root of bitterness”? A: It is a deep-seated resentment that, if left unchecked, grows and “defiles many.” It spreads like a weed in a community.

18. Q: Why is Esau mentioned in Hebrews 12? A: As a warning against trading eternal spiritual value for temporary physical pleasure (a bowl of stew).

19. Q: What does “God is a consuming fire” mean? A: God’s holiness consumes everything impure. For the believer, this is refining; for the unrepentant, it is judgment.

20. Q: What is the “cloud of witnesses”? A: The heroes of faith from Chapter 11. They are like spectators in a stadium, their lives testifying that the race can be won.

21. Q: Does Hebrews teach works salvation? A: No. It teaches that true faith perseveres. Faith is the engine; works/endurance are the evidence of the engine running.

22. Q: How do I “hold fast” to my profession? A: By keeping your eyes on Jesus (12:2), staying in community (10:25), and relying on His intercession (7:25).

23. Q: Why does Hebrews warn against “drifting”? A: Because spiritual decline is rarely sudden; it is a slow drift caused by neglect (Heb 2:1).

24. Q: What is the “rest” God promised? A: It is both the peace of salvation now and the eternal rest in Heaven later.

25. Q: How can I please God? A: Hebrews 11:6 says “Without faith it is impossible to please him.” Trusting Him is the primary act of worship.

26. Q: What does “perfected forever” mean (10:14)? A: Our standing before God is legally perfect because of Jesus, even while we are being “sanctified” (made holy) in our daily conduct.

27. Q: Why were the Hebrew Christians tempted to go back to Judaism? A: Persecution. Judaism was a legal religion in Rome; Christianity was not. They wanted the safety of the old rituals.

28. Q: What are “dead works” (Heb 6:1)? A: Religious rituals performed to earn merit with God, which are lifeless because they do not rely on faith.

29. Q: Does Hebrews 13:5 promise money? A: No, it promises presence. “I will never leave thee.” It is the antidote to covetousness.

30. Q: Who are the “strangers” we should entertain? A: In the first century, traveling Christians needed lodging. Today, it applies to hospitality toward those outside our circle.

Part 3: 20 Actionable Tips for Daily Application

At Work & Career

1. The Anchor Visualization: When work feels unstable, visualize Hebrews 6:19. Your soul is anchored in heaven, not in your job title.

2. Integrity Check: Apply Heb 4:13 (“All things are naked and opened”). Work as if God sees every email and transaction—because He does.

3. The “Drift” Audit: Check yourself monthly. Are you “drifting” (Heb 2:1) into ethical gray areas or laziness? Correct course immediately.

4. Servant Leadership: Use Heb 6:10. God does not forget your labor of love. Even if the boss doesn’t notice, God sees your diligence.

5. Confidence: Approach big meetings with the “Boldness” of Heb 4:16. If you can approach God’s throne, you can approach a CEO’s desk.

In Studies (School/University)

6. Critical Thinking: Use Heb 5:14. Train your “powers of discernment.” Don’t just accept what is taught; weigh it against Truth.

7. Endurance: When the semester is hard, use Heb 12:1 (“Run with patience”). It’s a marathon, not a sprint.

8. Faith in Facts: Use Hebrews 11:3. Understand that faith and reason aren’t opposites; faith understands the origin of the universe that science studies.

9. Community: Don’t study alone. “Not forsaking the assembling” (10:25). Find a Christian study group to keep you grounded.

10. Discipline: View difficult grades or feedback not as failure, but as “chastening” (training) to make you sharper (Heb 12:11).

Social Life & Relationships

11. Provoke Goodness: In your friend group, be the one who “provokes unto love and good works” (10:24). Be the catalyst for charity.

12. Hospitality: Practice Heb 13:2. Open your dorm or apartment to people you don’t know well.

13. No Bitterness: If a friend hurts you, pull out the “root of bitterness” (12:15) immediately through forgiveness before it infects others.

14. Encouragement: Send a text daily. Heb 3:13 says “Exhort one another daily.” Be the daily encouragement for someone else.

15. Faithful Friends: Surround yourself with people who, like the Hall of Faith, are looking for a “better country.”

Family & Home

16. Marriage Honor: Post Hebrews 13:4 somewhere visible. Treat your marriage vows with the “honor” of a holy covenant.

17. Parenting as Training: View discipline not as anger, but as Hebrews 12 depicts God’s parenting—for the “profit” and “holiness” of the child.

18. Family Altar: “Offer the sacrifice of praise continually” (13:15). Fill your home with worship music and thanksgiving.

19. Contentment: Teach your kids Heb 13:5. “Be content with such things as ye have.” Fight consumerism with God’s presence.

20. Jesus is the Same: In a changing world, anchor your family in the stability of Heb 13:8. Traditions change, houses change, but Jesus doesn’t.

Part 4: Bonus – Life Improvement via the “Jesus Method”

How the theology of Hebrews upgrades your mental and emotional resilience.

• Anti-Fragility: The world is “shakable.” Hebrews 12:28 offers an “Unshakable Kingdom.” By rooting your identity in what cannot be lost (Christ), you become anti-fragile. Trauma and loss cannot destroy your core.

• The Clean Conscience: Hebrews 9:14 speaks of “purging your conscience.” Guilt is a heavy mental burden that destroys focus and joy. Accepting the “once for all” sacrifice of Jesus deletes the guilt file, freeing mental RAM for creativity and love.

• Laser Focus: Hebrews 12:2 (“Looking unto Jesus”) is a masterclass in focus. By fixation on a singular goal (Christ), you eliminate the distractions of sin and “weights” (even good things that slow you down), leading to a highly effective, streamlined life.
