Hebrews chapter 10 is in many cases a battlefield for the believers. You choose your side and prepare to battle. Someone gives you your ammunition ahead of time so that you don’t have to think much on your own or consider all of the options.

Probably not….many times it is God himself firing a shot to help you get Bible Doctrine instead of yours.

It is advocated by Dr. Kevorkian (Dr. Death) and the Hemlock Society.
