I think this person has caused more pondering than anyone else in the Bible. He seems shrouded in mystery. The most baffling statement regarding him comes in Hebrews chapter 7. What do some of you serious Bible-scholars think?

Melchizedek (meaning King of Righteousness.)
King of ancient Salem and “priest of the Most High God,”. (Ge 14:18, 22) He is the first priest mentioned in the Scriptures; he occupied that position sometime prior to 1933 B.C.E. Being the king of Salem, which means “Peace,” Melchizedek is identified by the apostle Paul as “King of Peace” and, on the ...[text shortened]... sworn oath “has become a high priest according to the manner of Melchizedek forever.”—Heb 6:20.

Thanks, Robbie, for the Bible lesson. It is something I am familiar with already, but it was good of you to obtain it for me again. It was the portion in Hebrews which baffles me where it says he had no father and no mother. I have wondered whether or not he may have been an epiphany....Christ in another form before he was born in Bethlehem. This is what I hoped that you, and others, might touch on.

ENOCH, (meaning One Trained Up; Inaugurated (that is, dedicated, initiated)).
The son born to Jared at the age of 162; the seventh man in the genealogical line from Adam. In addition to Methuselah, who was born to him when he was 65 years old, Enoch had other sons and daughters. Enoch was one of the “so gre ...[text shortened]... ook written many centuries later, probably sometime during the second and first centuries B.C.E.

Originally posted by dystoniacNo, one must be careful of those who cannot even substantiate their own claims and cannot even tell the difference between Christ and Almighty God, the meaning of even basic bible words such as soul and whether it is mortal or immortal!

Originally posted by whodeythe difference being i can substantiate my beliefs, for there is no credable biblical evidence or otherwise to suggest that Christ was Almighty God, in the spirit or the flesh. For he was a created being or have you never read Colossians chapter 1 verse 15.

I dare say you would say the same of me since we disagree on such critical belief. Either I am a blasphemer or you are. Either Christ was God in the flesh or he was not. In fact, does the Bible not say that Christ was charged with blasphemy and later sent to the cross?
