Bible Question: Thank you for your respone. Would you say that Melchizedek was God whom put on flesh and walk the earth? Since there is no record of him being created by flesh. |
Bible Answer: I like to think that Melchizedek was of the same kindred spirit as in Abraham. Apparently he and Abraham worshipped the same God Almighty as you and I. I'm glad to think that Abraham wasn't alone in his world but had family members willing to give up their world and move with him, like Lot and his wife Sarah. But I'm even more glad that Abraham had a fellow child of God to share this kindred spirit of worship to their God, one who had an equally devoted spirit of love and dedication to this Supreme Being. What a wonderful legacy to leave to the whole world. And the ultimate descendant in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Yes, praise the Lord, God does love to fill us with questions and keep us yearning for answers, some of which just have to wait until we see Him "face to face." Blessings to you. Country Girl |
