Christ is Melchisedec

handy,

Well, truly, it was important to the author of Hebrews, and they are scripture. I guess you can convince yourself that is not important.

However, you must know that a belief is only a belief.
The object of a belief may or may not be true.

While you don't find out that the object of your belief is true, it is not a real knowledge. You will never know, you will always have a doubt. You can choose to believe anything, but you don't know it to be true or not.

have a good day,

Oh wow, maybe I'm just still a little grumpy about the Obama thing or that I'm just...gee, grumpy and tired. I probably should just go to bed, after all it's almost 1:30 but I'm not sleepy so I'll bite. I'll just try really hard not to bite your head off! :D

When have I ever, in all 5000+ posts I've posted at this site claim that the Scriptures are not important. Or the book of Hebrews. Just to put a handle on how important I believe the book of Hebrews is...I'll let you in on a little secret...I studied that book for almost two years. It's one of the most significant books in the single most important compilation of books on earth. There isn't a book in the Bible that isn't important but the value of the book of Hebrews is vast, once one can gain even a little insight to what the writer is getting at.

What I said before, I still stand by, whether or not Melchizedek was a pre-incarnate appearance of God the Son on earth or someone else isn't really all that important...because one's salvation, one's walk with God, one's victory over sin, one's sanctification, one's baptism, one's unity with the brethren will not be impacted if Melchizedek was or was not Christ.

If someone were to write an amazing post tomorrow that showed me, beyond any shadow of any doubt that Melchizedek was in no way Christ Himself, I'd be like, wow, that's interesting, recant my previous opinions on the matter and moa. (move on already) Unless and until someone does this though, I'm holding to what I do believe with all sincerity the passage is stating, that the "father" of the Jews, Father Abraham himself, paid homage to Christ.

You have a good day too!
(no so grumpy after all!)
