Thanks for allowing me :-). I enjoyed being able to hear each others thoughts this far. That was great.

@Anne2 The advantage of sites such as this is that various posters can have the effect of iron sharpening iron, so to speak, as to their reading of Scripture.

Yep, it just doesn't seem to go that far much here in conversation is all. So this as limited as it was was great.

@Anne2 Well, yes. Sometimes it's in depth analysis, but often almost repetition, I suppose..........

I hear you and have no objection. I would only like to add that a priest does not necessarily serve the Tabernacle/Temple. A priest is a mediator who brings God to men and men to God. As you said, the Aaronic priesthood were ordained to serve the House, but Christ has a different duty - as Hebrews 9:1-15 shows. He, being a Judean, could not serve the House made with hands. But His status allows him to bring His own blood into the heavenly Tabernacle. He must belong to another ORDER - the one Melchizedek belongs to.

But, of course, I do not fully understand this order. The grammar is difficult. "Order" means multiplicity and Melchizedek is name "man" by scripture. That means there are more men who have no beginning or end. Too much for my little brain.

Hebrews 7 explains the uniqueness of the Lord Jesus by reference to Melchizedek.

Can you please elaborate a little...how it is so.

Hebrews 7.11: "If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?"

Hebrews 7.24-25: "But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.

²⁵ Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them."

No, not so much repetition, but looking more deeply into certain things. having ideas of scripture,And speaking with others on a certain subject, allows you to get confirmation or not. Nobody interprets scripture by themselves, and everybody has their own gifts and callings. So it is just something that is enjoyable to me.

Some ppl are really blessed by an interactive, conversational Bible study, whether in person or online..........

Thank you but what is the uniqueness of Melhisedec that maches or parallels the uniqueness of Jesus Christ?  

If you please...then I will be able to say something.
