Context Summary
Hebrews 5:1-10 explains how Jesus fits the requirements of a high priest. Earlier verses showed that the Messiah promised by the Old Testament would be entirely human ( Hebrews 2:17). That humanity allows Christ to sympathize with our temptations and weaknesses. Here, the writer of Hebrews points out that this also makes Jesus qualified to be our ultimate High Priest. Because of His humanity, His prayers, His sacrifice for sin, and His appointment by God, Jesus' status is far superior to any other figure.
Chapter Summary
Hebrews chapter 5 completes the previous commentary about Jesus' humanity. His human existence qualifies Him to understand other men and to offer sacrifice to God on our behalf. Jesus also fulfills the roles of both high priest and king, which the author demonstrates by returning to the Old Testament. The figure of Melchizedek is used to illustrate this point: that Christ, unlike any before, was able to be both the kingly Son of David and the High Priest for all people. The deeper meaning of this example, however, may well be lost on the letter's audience, since they are languishing in spiritual immaturity.
Mishael: I'm posting this from BibleRef DOT com
I haven't been able to reconcile this with a teaching I heard long ago. Particularly, that when Jesus came out of the Tomb_and Mary tried to touch Jesus, he told her not to. Reason, He was ascending to Heaven to be made High Priest. Her touching Him would have defiled Him.
I always meant to read this passage in the Hebrew language. If someone here can do that, I would love to Not feel conflicted. Melchizedek received the first tithes.
Site,
Of worldwide weather, drought and unbelievable events happening on the earth. Most especially USA.
Couple that with nations talking openly about WARS, RUMORS of Wars. Open threats of them.
The Palestinians are now on YouTube preaching and threatening about a man to come, named MAHDI.
Let's wake up and realize the Last Days are here.

Which day was Jesus was born
2 Corinthians 11:1-6
Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles. But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.
If you're newly born again, the greatest truths you need to know in this Bible are:
Galatians 2:21 - I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Romans 10:9 - That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
God bless you all.
Since we are on the topic, I'd love if you can offer some insight on Romans 2: 6-8. That verse also appears to lead the reader to conclude eternal life can be lost. Your insight on this is greatly appreciated!
Thank you

John 3:16-18
16. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that who so ever believe in Him should not Perish but have everlasting life.
17. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world. But that the world through Him might be saved.
18.He that believeth on Him is not condemned, but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten son of God.
There are almost 3 different types of the Old Testament. The older is what is known as the Septuagint Bible. That is a translation into the Greek language of the Hebrew Scriptures done sometime during the 3rd centuary BC, written for the Greek speaking Jews living around the Mediterranean Sea at that time. There is the one that Hebrews use theselves that is called the Masoretic text. It is what the Jews canonised to be the Bible. That was finalized roughly the 4-5th centuary AD. There is another form not that much known, the "Dead see Scrolls'. Those are scrolls that were found in Israel sometime in the early 20th centuary and they originate from 300 BC to 300 AD. By examining them scientists found out that a part of them was the same as the Masoretic text, another part as the Septuagint text and the rest didnt coincide with either texts. That, they say, probably means that during Jesus's time things were a bit fluid. There were many verses of the OT around at that time, similar to one another but not the same.
Now the Catholic church, like the Eastern Orthodox church have included in the OT some books extra of the Masoritic text called the Apocrypha. Jews theselves rejected those books as not divinely inspired.
There are also some other books that both Christians and Jews rejected. We can find reference of 2 of them in Jude's epistole. That confirms that things were as I said a bit fluid during ancient times. Same happened with the New Testament during the first 3 centuaries AD untill the Gospel was finally canonised. So which OT is the right one. I would say all 3 of them since their differences are not that important. I would exclude though the Apocrypha and not canonised texts. On internet you can find a lot of information about this topic.
Now about the Vatican hidding some books somewhere, I think those claims can not be serious.
