Hebrews
"In the likeness of Melchizedek..."
Text: Hebrews 7:15
STRUGGLING TO HARMONIZE THE SCRIPTURES
One of the cardinal rules of interpretation of the Bible is “the harmony of the Scriptures”. At no time must one passage be made to clash with another text! One or both interpretations would most likely be in error. The author of Hebrews did not shy away from attempting to tackle this difficult text.
“For it is evident that our Lord arose from Judah, of
which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
And it is yet far more evident if, in the likeness of Melchizedek,
there arises another priest, who has come, not according
to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to
the power of an endless life.”
Hebrews 7:14-16
