No my friend Read a bit further please. A Fate worse than the dying under two or three witnesses. Total Destruction.
"But the just shall live by faith;" "and if he draws back," "My soul is not pleased in him." But we are not of those withdrawing to destruction, but of faith, to the preservation of the soul.
(Heb 10:38-39 LITV)
The KJV translates the Greek word for destruction to perdition.
The Websters dictionary defines perdition as utter destruction.
Here is an excerpt from The BDAG Lexicon in regards to the Greek word and how it should be understood. It has a section highlighted in bold to show where the section on Heb 10:39 is.
ἀπώλεια, ας, ἡ (s. ἀπόλλυμι; Demades [IV B.C.]: Or. Att. II 52 p. 313 in the sense ‘loss’; later writers; ins, pap, oft. LXX, pseudepigr., Philo, Jos., Ar., Just.; Mel., P.).
the destruction that one causes, destruction, waste trans. (Aristot., EN 4, 1, 1120a 2; Polyb. 6, 11a, 10 opp. τήρησις; PTebt 276, 34) εἰς τί ἡ ἀ. αὕτη τ. μύρου; why this waste of ointment? Mk 14:4; cp. Mt 26:8.
the destruction that one experiences, annihilation both complete and in process, ruin intr. (so usu. LXX; EpArist 167; Philo, Aet. M. 20; 74; Jos., Ant. 15, 62, Vi. 272; TestDan 4:5; Ar. 13, 8; Just., D. 56, 5; Mel.; but also in Aristot., Prob. 29, 14, 952b 26; Polyb., Plut., Epict. et al. [Nägeli 35]; Diod.

Hence the end of the wicked is described as ἀ.: τὸ ἀργύριόν σου σὺν σοὶ εἴη εἰς ἀπώλειαν to hell with you and your money (Phillips) Ac 8:20 (for the phrasing cp.

More baiting nonsense, If you can't refute the post say nothing.
More comments about people, shame really. Not at all honoring God and His Christ. Nothing relevant in relation to things posted. Heb. 10:26 my friend.
Prove the points of the post wrong and I will recant.
It is not just a people that have been taught about Jesus and refuse to believe in Him. Hebrews 10:26 is about those who are experiencing salvation and then they throw it all away, Sinning willfully, trodding underfoot the Son of GOD, doing despite unto the Spirit of Grace which they have been Given.
Starting in verse 10. Here look please.
By the which will we are sanctified (Hebrews 9:12-14 A purged conscience, sanctified to the purifying of the flesh (vs 9:13) from dead works, a purged conscience, the inner man renewed (vs 9:14), the taking away of sin (10:4) to serve the Living God) through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins, : But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Whereof (to this perfectedness) the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, This is the covenant (perfectedness of them that are sanctified) that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
(Heb 10:4-16 KJV)
WE are sanctified. For by one offering he hath PERFECTED them (the WE) that are SANCTIFIED. How are WE that are SANCTIFIED PERFECTED? To this (whereof) the Holy Ghost also is a witness to US. HE saith, This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them.
Having therefore, brethren (the WE, them whom have been PERFECTED and SANCTIFIED), boldness into the entrance into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us (the BRETHREN, the WE, them whom have been PERFECTED and SANCTIFIED) , through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And having an high priest over the house of God (the Body of Christ, the Temple of God through the veil that is His flesh); Let us (the BRETHREN, the WE, them whom have been PERFECTED and SANCTIFIED) draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience (the taking away of sin), and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us (the BRETHREN, the WE, them whom have been PERFECTED and SANCTIFIED) hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised. And let us (the BRETHREN, the WE, them whom have been PERFECTED and SANCTIFIED) consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of OURSELVES (the BRETHREN, the WE, them whom have been PERFECTED and SANCTIFIED) together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. For if we ( OURSELVES, the BRETHREN, the WE, them whom have been PERFECTED and SANCTIFIED) are sinning wilfully (Not a single act but a state of being, who we are) after that we have received the knowledge of the truth ( A purged conscience, sanctified to the purifying of the flesh (vs 9:13) from dead works, a purged conscience, the inner man renewed (vs 9:14), the taking away of sin (10:4) to serve the Living God, Perfected, Gods Laws in the Heart and mind through Christ), there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? (which the been given)
