       Genesis 2  ESV
       (1)  Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the
       host of them.
       (2)  And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had
       done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he
       had done.
       (3)  So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on
       it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation.
       The above is scripture that has been used to support the PCE
       theology to imply that every host of heaven and earth already
       existed by the 7th day.
       This one also is used:
       Hebrews 7  ESV
       (9)  One might even say that Levi himself, who receives tithes,
       paid tithes through Abraham,
       (10)  for he was still in the loins of his ancestor when
       Melchizedek met him.
       Implying that Levi existed before he was born and therefore he
       also gave tithes to Melchiedek because he was already a part of
       (so to speak) of Abraham when the tithes were given.
       [/quote]
       Keep in mind that Levi was a tribe of Israel, a Priesthood
       tribe. therefore the priesthood was giving ties to Melchizedek
       because they are to be from Abraham.

       [/quote]Sure.
       The point is that it cannot be said of Levi that he gave tithes
       to Melchizedek when Abraham did unless he existed at that time
       (in some form within Abraham).

       not really.  See those are conifers.  Cone bearing seed
       plants--- if you want to get really technical you might say
       gymnosperms.

       As Mr E says sometimes ...... "it is, but it isn't".
       If we are to say that Levi paid tithes to Mechizedek because he
       was in Abraham, then one logical conclusion would be that Levi
       did everything Abraham did.
       But we can't say that Levi did everything Abraham did or we
       would have to say that Levi also had a miraculous child (like
       Isaac), or that Levi lied as Abraham did when he told the king
       she was his sister instead of his wife.
       The "it is, but it isn't" seems to be a common occurrence in
       scripture; which is why it is sometimes difficult to make a
       certain scripture verse mean the same in all situations.

       I see what you are saying Tambora but I think your reading too
       much into the verse.
       God is telling us that He considered Abraham a Levi.
       .Ok, so Abraham was a Levi...what does that mean?:  I don't know
       but under Jacob, all the tribes of Israel are named and God
       reveals the Levi tribe as the Priesthood of Israel. God already
       knows this little bit of info, right?
       therefore, God also considered Abraham as a Levi priest who
       happen to give ties to another Priest and King! This is the only
       reference to this in the Bible.....as Moses and the Brass
       Serpent was until later.
       Another Question: Why does GOD make sure we know that Mechizedek
       was a King and through the statement about Abraham, he is also a
       priest. It will become illegal for anyone under the Laws of
       Moses to be a Priest and King at the same time?
       It just keeps rolling on, does it not?  Just a thought!

       I think you got that completely backwards there Blade.  God
       didn't consider Abraham in some manner to be "of Levi" but the
       other way around.  Levi was in every way "of Abraham."
       -but that's not what the chapter is about.  The distinction that
       is being made is that Melchizedek isn't of Abraham, nor is he of
       Levi.... and yet Abraham and all of those who came after him
       (including Levi in a manner of speaking as one of Father
       Abraham's cone seeds) paid tribute to Melchizedek -- the lessor
       (Abraham) paid the tithe to the greater (Melchizedek) and it was
       this (greater) Priest who blessed the lessor tithe payer
       (Abraham).
       Hebrews says that the law dictates that all priests must be
       Levites, but Melchizedek was neither a Levite, and not even from
       Father Abraham... no one knows his genealogy or where he came
       from or who his parents were, but we know not Abraham, and not
       Levi. And so Hebrews lays out clearly that it isn't through the
       law that the true priesthood is established but through the Son
       of God-- through Christ.  As further evidence, neither was Jesus
       a Levite, but scripture tells us that Jesus (of Judah, chief of
       sinners among the brothers) is our Priest forever and of the
       order of Melchizedek not because of physical lineage (Jesus was
       of Judah) but by means of an indestructible life... by
       resurrection.
       By all of this we know that Melchizedek too, became a Priest in
       the same way (by resurrection) or he would not be the example
       given.
       What should we make of this?

       We know only the Melchizedek was the King of Salem and He was a
       Priest, something considered illegal in Israel. Other than that
       very little is known about him.  We do know that Jesus was a
       priest on earth as well as a rejected Messiah (King),long before
       His Resurrection.
       However, because of the Resurrection and His Grace, the sins of
       the world was saved (IF) they would believe the Gospel of Jesus
       according to scripture. Those who are justified, will become
       Kings and Priest on the same order of Jesus Christ and
       Melchizedek.

       Jesus was never a priest on earth. The law dictated that only
       Levites could become priests.  Jesus was from the tribe of
       Judah.
       Maybe have a closer reading of Heb 7.  I'd venture a guess that
       most people miss it, but Hebrews points to another priest
       arising... from this same order of Mechizedek.  It speaks of our
       Lord (Jesus) who was a descendent not of Aaron (the Levite) but
       of Judah, and then it says IF ANOTHER priest arises according to
       the likeness of Mechizedek -who in turn Heb 7:3 says was himself
       made like the Son of God- a priest perpetually.
       For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, a
       tribe with reference to which Moses spoke nothing concerning
       priests. And this is clearer still, if another priest arises
       according to the likeness of Melchizedek,  who has become such
       not on the basis of a law of physical requirement, but according
       to the power of an indestructible life.  For it is attested of
       Him,
       “YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER
       ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK.”
       So Melchizedek was one of these like the Son of God- a priest
       forever, and Jesus by resurrection became of this same order of
       Priests, and IF another arises according to this same likeness,
       this one too would also become one of this same order and a
       priest forever.
       Scripture, as you mention says that there is a kingdom of heaven
       where in spirit we are indeed a kingdom and priests that reign
       upon the earth.  Few understand what this means.  Fewer still
       can accept it.  And it isn't that corrupt priesthood that Moses
       hooked his brother Aaron up with... it's that order of priests
       that only consists of the redeemed... the resurrected.  When he
       comes, dry bones awaken.

       Just what would you call His preaching all those years. Yes, He
       was from the tribe of Judah yet, the Law ended with John the
       Baptist. As you say, Jesus was/is a priest and King following
       the order of Mechizedek.
       Think it is interesting that Jesus was already a Priest before
       Mechizedek was born.  Heb 7-3 (KJV)

       Yes, we are translated and redeemed to Heaven, yet as already

       Jesus was never a priest on earth. The law dictated that only
       Levites could become priests.  Jesus was from the tribe of
       Judah.
       Maybe have a closer reading of Heb 7.  I'd venture a guess that
       most people miss it, but Hebrews points to another priest
       arising... from this same order of Mechizedek.  It speaks of our
       Lord (Jesus) who was a descendent not of Aaron (the Levite) but
       of Judah, and then it says IF ANOTHER priest arises according to
       the likeness of Mechizedek -who in turn Heb 7:3 says was himself
       made like the Son of God- a priest perpetually.[/quote]
       Just what would you call His preaching all those years. Yes, He
       was from the tribe of Judah yet, the Law ended with John the
       Baptist. As you say, Jesus was/is a priest and King following
       the order of Mechizedek.
       Think it is interesting that Jesus was already a Priest before
       Mechizedek was born.  Heb 7-3 (KJV)

       For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, a
       tribe with reference to which Moses spoke nothing concerning
       priests. And this is clearer still, if another priest arises
       according to the likeness of Melchizedek,  who has become such
       not on the basis of a law of physical requirement, but according
       to the power of an indestructible life.  For it is attested of
       Him,
       “YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER
       ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK.”
       So Melchizedek was one of these like the Son of God- a priest
       forever, and Jesus by resurrection became of this same order of
       Priests, and IF another arises according to this same likeness,
       this one too would also become one of this same order and a
       priest forever.[/quote]
       God Ordained Jesus as High Priest: Heb 3:1 (KJV).."Wherefore,
       holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the
       Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;"

       Scripture, as you mention says that there is a kingdom of heaven
       where in spirit we are indeed a kingdom and priests that reign
       upon the earth.  Few understand what this means.  Fewer still
       can accept it.  And it isn't that corrupt priesthood that Moses
       hooked his brother Aaron up with... it's that order of priests
       that only consists of the redeemed... the resurrected.  When he
       comes, dry bones awaken.

       I'm sorry-- I still haven't figured out how to break up a
       response in sections and use some kind of multi-quote feature...
       We likely differ on some aspects here, but to me it matters not.
       I don't force agreement on anyone.  I'd be happy to tell you
       how I read it, if you like.
       Hebrews 7:3 isn't speaking about Jesus at all.  Rather, that
       verse is all about Melchizedek.  In this understanding, Jesus
       was not "already a priest before Melchizedek was born."  In
       fact, we know nothing of who this person (Melchizedek) was,
       neither who his parents were, or anything about him.  His
       "tribe" is meaningless, as there were no "tribes" yet.  That all
       came later through the loins of Abraham, his son (of the
       promise) Issac and then in turn his (younger son who stole his
       brother's rightful inheritance) Jacob (called Israel, from whom
       the 12 tribes would descend).
       It was Melchizedek who like the Son of God, had no mother or
       father or genealogy to point to--- in other words, this person
       we know so little about was the Christ figure incarnate at that
       time in the person (flesh) of a man named Melchizedek.  There is
       only one Christ which is of the Spirit, not of flesh.  When this
       anointing (spirit) descends upon a person (flesh) they are then
       'anointed' and become Christ... Immanuel... God with us.  -For a
       time.
       This is of course a controversial idea not accepted, or perhaps
       not even considered by orthodoxy.  It also happens to be the
       truth of the matter.  When the Word of God comes to a person
       they become a mouthpiece, a messenger, a prophet, an apostle--
       it doesn't matter what they are called, their "calling" is
       clear... God says to them- go and they go, speak and they speak
       His words.  Their words are no longer their own, but they speak
       the Word of God by the Spirit that is within them.
       As for Jesus-- he was born a man.  He was never appointed priest
       on earth, just as he was never a king "on earth' because his
       kingdom (of priests) is spiritual, not physical.  He came as a
       man-- and became an apostle (messenger as Heb 3:1 tells us) and
       he became a Priest forever in the order of this Melchizedek ---
       "of the kind" of Melchizedek who lived before Jesus (preceded
       him).
       These thoughts reflect a bit of what Ted talks about, but maybe
       doesn't fully understand...  The pre-existent one is God- and
       everything else comes from Him, returns to Him and remains as
       such- coming and going as He sees fit in obedience and service
       to Him-- our Father, not as slaves, but as sons--children of
       God.  Those who don't remain are simply cut off, pruned-- like
       branches that don't produce fruit, destroyed by fire, consumed.
       There's much more that could be said-but that's an intro.   :)

       This post has been edited to point out that in it  I used
       nothing from the editor, no bold, no italics, no change of
       colour or size. This mess was created by the editor on simple
       text. I feel dismayed, sabotaged and let down...sigh.
       Depending on your definition of words I accept a lot this ...
       I always refer to our first faith as in YHWH as our GOD and in
       the Son as our only saviour from all sin. These are  references.
       I do not say Christ because that is a worldly reference to an
       anointed one and there are many besides the incarnate Son,
       Jesus.
       I do NOT have a calling to protest niceties of salvation because
       my calling is to question the dogma about our fall into sin,
       especially the fall of the elect HIS bride. How are some of the
       doctrines about our sinfulness NOT blasphemies? How is our
       sinfulness to be reconciled with our perfect creation in
       innocence if not in righteousness without impugning GOD by that
       which is a sin to us.
