Discuss Hebrews 7 Page 5

Melkisidec, the high priest who simply was, sent by God, for the benefit of Abraham, the friend of God, the father of both gentile and jew. Truly there is no difference with God. Jesus taught as a Jewish priest, from Jewish literature. He pleased God and was given gifts unimaginable. From wence came the Christian? Was it not from Paul, who was the Apostle of the Gentile by agreement

Quote, " ..... Hebrews is not meant for Gentiles ..... " unquote. Matt. 24:14 - And this gospel shall be preached in ALL the world ... unto ALL nations; ... "; 28:19 - " ... teach ALL nations ... "; V. 20 - " ... teaching them to observe ALL things whatsoever I have commanded you ... "; ALL the world was not inhabited at that time JUST by Jews.

From my understanding, Hebrews is not meant for gentiles. Have to be very careful what you're reading and what dispensation it is. Do gentiles understand what tithing is and how often it was actually done?
(I'm by no means an expert on the scripture but I do follow some well-studied teachers.)
Amen

Tithe is 1/10. Tithing was required for the support of the tribe of Levi because their job was to care for the worship services, tabernacle, furnishings,etc. and could not work, grow crops to eat. The doctrine of the church is sacrificial giving based on prayer and stewardship of what God has provided you. Actually tithe is incorrect terminology for the church.

To Bitts Bajj - The tithe of the O.T. remains the same in the N.T. If we as church members give our tithes to the homeless, to worldly charities; how are our churches to support themselves - the monthly utilities, the repairs from storms or vandals, the normal repair from wear 'n tear?
Mal.6:7-8. And - the laborer is worthy of his hire, Pastors included. The pastors pay tithes too.

In Hebrew 7: the reason Abraham gives tithe is explained, not Isaac,Jacob, Joseph nor Moses. And also why levits receives tithes. Now Jesus the high priest receives tithes, according to the gospel, by giving to the needy. No mortal should receive tithe.

Christ redeemed Us by himself he didn't have to use an angel priest prophet everything he needed he had everything he wanted he Supply everything that was demanded was in his power he is Johovah Tsidskenus antilog of righteousness

Verse 1-3 let's us know, Melchizedek is the Eternal, immortal priest of the father in Heaven, a Spirit who like the father is without beginning of days nor end of life, and today in Heaven, Jesus is a Priest after the order of Melchizedek. Melchizedek appeared in human form to Abraham, and this should come as no surprise for Hebrews 13:2 tells us, "do not forget to entertain STRANGERS...

it brings the Jesus Christ to you in a more personal way in that it shows you were he is and what he is and where we are and in him of the father

Oh yes so here we learn that we gives tithe to show that Jesus is alive

Good news about the name of Jesus. There's no other the under the heaven whereby you can be save. Meaning deliverance from sin. To keep something or someone safe. To stop someone from dying or being hurt, damaged or lost. And i like this one to prevent an opponent from scoring or winning(devil). Praise the Lord everyone!!! Praise the Lord.

Proof by the Word of God, letting us know that He Emmanuel God with us has been here all along. From eternal past, today and eternal forever. What a blessing it is from our Father to comfort us. For those that have eyes to see and ears to hear, we may have rest in Him.

Who were the tribe of Levi?

I had a preacher in a Church I was visiting state that the tithe of God is 10 of your gross income and if you didn 't pay it you would be cursed by God.Hebrews Chap 7 couldn 't be any clearer that the 10 tithe. was done away with. The New Testament encourages giving from the heart guided by the Holy Spirit as a member of the Body of Christ with no set amount. How do people promoting the 10 tithe not read Hebrew 7?

HEBREWS CHAPTER 7 COMMENTS 4 25 2015 12:15 AM Apostle Paul said, Christ is a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. v17 Ps.110:4 Heb. 5:6,10.v19Heb.6:18.v24Isa.9:6-7 John12:34 Heb.13:8 v25Isa.53:12 Rom.8:34 1John2:1v26Eph.1:20 V27 Rom 6:10 V28Heb.2:10. Lord Jesus, our priest for ever. A-men.

I 'm attempting to understand these references: Verses 1 thru 4 where it is stated, "For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life but made like unto the Son of God abideth a priest continually. Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. " Are the Scriptures saying this Melchisedec was put here by God and not actually born of woman?

There is but one God. This chapter also should settle tithing.

It is true that Jesus stated it clear what to mix with what, but dearly beloved, about tithe...... we are there was only a change in the law. The change is this, that we pay tithe to the 'in-charge. The new testament did not close the chapter of paying tithe entirely, it only changed the fact that tithe was paid only to the Levites. But according to Hebrews 7: 5 - 17.. So, tithe is not ended...

Melchizedec is not Christ God.He 's eternal, Christ came after Melchizedec 's order.He is known as the power of an endless life.For God testifies Christ as a priest forever after the order of Melchizedec.Melchizedec is the Holy Ghost,dear Bro.He is King of peace,Christ prince Father is God of Peace.Christ 's Perfection comes by God 's Holy Ghost ministry not Levitical priesthood.

Before Christ came and died for all men, we lived under the law given by God as He spoke it to Moses. Now that Jesus has paid for our sins we live under God 's Grace. Thank God for Jesus who fulfilled the law as He spoke from the cross "It is finished ". We are now free from the law of sin and death and now live under the law of liberty in Christ Jesus.

The law was changed by adding the word repent to it to establish the small narrow gate. The murder of Jesus Christ became a unilaterally accountable sin. His crucifixion is not the direct benefit of him having died in your place.

Without father,without mother, without genealogy is a priesthood order which is from heaven and ministers spiritual life. Like our Lord Christ Jesus who is our High Priest who stands before God for us with His own blood and having suffered in His own flesh for our sins to give us spiritual life a life from above, a holy nature like our heavenly father in a new spiritual body we still do not have it while we are in our adamic fleshly body, but He will give to us who believe in His promisses, a new body like His own, in the last day .

AMAZING

It is from God and through history people preaching about his salvation .. But I am still have a lot to learn ..

Jesus Christ is standing in the gap for mankind and interceding in their behalf. He died for me and you and is not willing that any perish, but have everlasting life in Him, our high priest who prays continually for our salvation and deliverance.

THE MELCHISEDEC THE BIBLE WAS REFERRING TO IS OU LORD JESUS CHRIST,ALL BECAUSE HE IS THE SON OF THE LORD,THE HIGH PRIEST,ALL BECAUSE IN JOHN 10;30 HE SAID I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE.

My respond to 9/06/2013, 4:56pm - Comment by "Yusef" about Hebrews Chapter 7: Since Melchisedec abideth a priest continually, therefore he was being "interpreted" then as King of righteousness, King of Salem, King of peace; without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God. In fact, even Abraham himself whom he blessed was considering him as a great man and a great priest by giving him the tithes he was collecting from a priest named, Levi. But that "interpretation" to Melchisedec's greatness shouldn't be taken as literal. He wasn't literally immortal like God so to speak. He's just as equal as Abraham and Levi. Meaning, He's just a human beings who also feared God and have done his service to the Lord. Regarding the issue "God is a jealous God" which was written in Exodus 34:14, it simply means that God is jealous when you worship "other god". These other gods are any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: (to which other people bow down and serve) as it is written in Exodus 20:3-5. Jesus Christ is not among other gods. He was the "Word" in the beginning with God, as mentioned in John 1:1-14 and there's no writings there that says they are partners.

If Melchisedec doesn't have a beginning or a end, without mother or father or sibling has he been around since God? And if God is a jealous God that don't like partners, why do people call Jesus God, when Jesus told Mary not to call him God because he answer to His Father who is my Father and your Father, my God and your God? I pray to God... God exist without partners.

I think that during the Old Test days, daily sacrifical offerings were needed for their sins. But in the New Test. Jesus came and completed wiped away sin with his body as a living sacrifice. Which means that ours sins are paid in full for daily and all past present and futures are forgiving to all of the Believers in Christ Jesus.

@ Reggie,
Comments on Hebrews 7:8. You say: “The only way to pay tithes today is to witness that Jesus lives... Our life then becomes a living epistle, in honoring our Great High Priest”.
While I like very much the idea of honoring our God by our lives, as “living epistles”, I don’t agree with your idea of not paying tithe. Here’s why: The “tithes and offerings” principle/law was established by God way before Sinai. Remember Abraham paying tithe to Melchisedec ( Genesis 14)? The tithes were supposed to take care of the “men of God”, the poor and the orphans. The tenth belonged to God before the cross, and is His today. The same Apostle Paul says: “The labourer is worthy of his reward” ( 1Timothy 5:18), and “Even so hath THE LORD ORDAINED that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel” ( 1 Corinthians 9:14). You don’t suppose the Gospel Workers should be paid of government subsidies?! … Your reference to Romans 10:4 doesn’t apply. Here’s what bro. Malachi says: “Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee?: In tithes and offerings ( Malachi 3:8).
But the best argument of paying tithes and offerings is made by Jesus in Matthew 25:40, “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me”. And you know what will happen to those who don’t… God bless.
