Deliberate sin and condemnation (Hebrews 10): (1) The NT provides forgiveness for sins the OT law couldn't cover — Jesus is better than the law. (2) Hebrews' "willful sin" passage is about apostasy (rejecting Christ entirely), not individual acts of deliberate sin. The context of Hebrews 10 is about abandoning the faith, not occasional moral failures.

Q&A with Pastor Mike Winger 00:19:04 – 00:20:34

Deliberate sin — Hebrews 10 is about apostasy

Two key clarifications: (1) Jesus can forgive presumptuous/high-handed sins that the OT law couldn't (part of how Jesus is better than the law). (2) Hebrews 10 ("if we go on sinning deliberately") is about apostasy — willfully rejecting the sacrifice of Christ — not about individual sinful acts committed by believers. Read the full Hebrews context to see this.
