We are never told to "harmonize" Scripture. We are told to divide it. The two are quite different. The very definitions of the words show us that one precludes the other.

There are indeed harmonies in Scripture, but where Scripture is not "in harmony" we are to divide it, not to try to make it harmonic. Some of the most unconvincing apologetic work comes from trying to force harmony where there should be division.

Some of the comments here have been quite judgmental.

I wish we could discuss the specific questions I brought up in Hebrews on this thread. There are plenty of other threads to discuss doctrinal disputes, salvation, etc.
Your questions lead to doctrinal discussions. One cannot discuss anything about the book of Hebrews without getting into doctrine.
