I was a teacher of Mathematics and I learned very quickly to move the lesson to the right conclusion you had to ask the right questions. Many teachers have been sidetracked because they asked the wrong question.
When it comes to the study of Hebrews it is important to ask the right question. Though the question, "Were the recipients of the letter Christians or non-Christians?" is an important question it is not the right question for interpretation of the difficult passages. I think the right question should be, "What is the author's intention?" We may not like the answer we get when we ask the right question but it avoids the problems I talked about yesterday.
