A closer look at what Hebrews 10:25, with whole chapter added is a far cry from what I get from just the 25Th verse alone.
The writer of Hebrews is warning believers about turning away from the Lord and separating themselves from doing good, to doing evil.(verse 25) The way I see it there is a big difference here that is better understood if we do as Ray has said and; "Pay attention to all the words."
Reading Hebrews 10, while
paying attention to all the words, it is clear that the church assembly is more than just a physical congregation of bodies, rather a means, online or whichever, to encourage each other in the faith, to provoke unto love and to good works (v 24), lest we sin willfully (v 26).
Tks for bringing that to attention, Joel. For those of us who are getting beat up over leaving the church of Babylon, which are the other scriptures that refer to the spiritual aspects of gathering together?
Thus the Greek word for ‘assembling’, EPISUNAGOGE,(V 25) which is rendered to mean
higher meeting or highest assembly or higher than all gatherings, fits in perfectly in the larger context of the chapter.
