1 | Priest had no father or mother | Heb 7:3 | DocTrinsograce | 194314 | ||
Dear Grace, You are thinking of Melchisedec. The above verse is not to be interpreted that Melchisedec actually had no parents. The writer of Hebrews is simply saying that there is no genealogical record of the man. All Jewish priests had precise records of their parentage back to Levi. In Him, Doc |

2 | Priest had no father or mother | Heb 7:3 | skccab | 194320 | ||
Doc, This is just a curiosity question that you might be able to answer. I have heard that there is a specific DNA bar/particle (not sure what it's called) that is specific to the Aaronic line that is evident even today, that one either is or is not of the priestly line. A website called something like The Tribe is supposed to have the info, but the one website that I can find doesn't seem to be the correct one. Do you know anything about this or is it just bunk? I thought it was fascinating (and just like our God) if that line is supposed to be forever. Shalom Cheri |

Dear Cheri, All of God's elect are made priests and kings by the Lord Jesus Christ (Revelation 1:6; 5:10; 20:6). Shadows always have less reality than the substance from which they are cast. I suppose you might check www.familytreedna.com if you wanted to read something along the lines of a genetic trace of human ancestry. Of course, keep in mind that legal adoption, in Jewish thinking, was at least as solid a connection to one's parentage as is the biological. In Him, Doc |

Doc, Thank you for answering so quickly! Yes, I knew that about adoption and that actually raised a few questions with me. For sometimes the adopted one would take the place of the actual firstborn (I've heard). But I just realized one point that I left out, it's a marker (that's the word I couldn't think of before - old age don't you know?) that's peculiar to the Aaronic line (the Cohen's, Cohn's, etc.). It's not so much that I'm interested (at this point) in human ancestry, I just think that if it's true about the Aaronic line having a genetic anomoly (spell??) that it's utterly fascinating. But I will check out the website you cited. It might help, thanks. Much love Cheri |
