the bible describes him as fatherless, motherless and all that and compares him at times with Jesus christ.
Tithes are directed to him. who really was this wonderful man??

That is the beauty of the mystery of the Bible. As Paul rightly stated, we now see through the shade but when we pass to eternity, we will see the whole picture.

We eagerly await the return of our LORD!

You are a joke..you cant even explain sm1 mentioned in the bible.

I had wanted to do a thread like this. I guess God is working in all.

Melchizedek is a type and shadow of Christ. He is not Christ but he Pre-figured Christ. Many people use Melchizedek to claim tithe as you have said but if something is a type and shadow and the real thing comes, does the shadow or type still come? My fear is that, this thread if continued, might lead to argument of tithe. The Priesthood of Melchizedek is not to claim tithe but to show the superiority of Christ fulfillment in the type and shadow that was in Melchizedek, because there is already a change of law in priesthood.

Both type and fulfillment of Melchizedek are king and priest. By their being no genealogical line with no record of birth or death he prefigures Christ as the priest who continues forever. In the Old Testament no King could be a priest, no priest could function as a King. Only Christ is able to fill the office of being a Priest, a Prophet and a King Heb.7:17, 20, 24. If Melchizedek was Christ we would have to deal with two incarnations, since all priests were taken from among men. If he was Jesus who became man then his birth through Mary would be a second incarnation. If he is a type of the one who was to come, then it would certainly fit the Biblical account and make more sense. This however remains an enigma with scholars debating on both sides but all agree together in its typology.

In fact, the title of this thread should be: Should the Priesthood of Melchizedek be used to support tithing or a better Priesthood? Just a suggestion. That was what I had in mind. Am not imposing anyway, I'm just saying.lol

bbull

Does that mean you are not reading at all? I already told you who Melchizedek is in my first post. Are you not satisfied? Then we dig deeper.
