I'm not Catholic, but greatly appreciative of this understanding taught here. Thank you and blessings to all of sincere faith who seek sanctification and salvation.
@ericgarcia4049 for real I fell away from the church for almost twenty years but the good shepherd always waited for his lost sheep to find there way back home
St Thomas Aquinas explains better the relation of Jesus’ priesthood with Mechizedech’s priesthood in the SummaTheologica, Third part, question 22, article 6
@ I've never heard that speculation Jesus was Melchizedek was dismissed as either gonistic or gnostic heresy. What I believe was dismissed was the notion that we could know, as Christ never revealed this. But for Catholics, with typology, we don't need to know that, as we know the Melchizedek was a type of Christ. Now, there were gnostic documents found in the 1900s which suggest what you are saying, but that the Church established by Christ does not consider authoritative. Are you a Gnostic?
Absolutely! I was scared when I decided to convert to Catholicism because no one else in my family is, and my brother is actually a member of a very fundamentalist church. Your work gives me a lot of the tools I use to defend the scriptural harmony of the Faith.
Now we who are in Christ are a royal priesthood of believers with Jesus Christ the Great High Priest forever and no no longer need for the temple priests. As St. Peter tells us in 1 Peter 2: 4-10.that we are now to be living stones of the spiritual temple and to be a royal priesthood and holy people. How do we enter this family of believers? We all have to do business directly with Jesus by calling on Jesus to rescue us from the kingdom of darkness and bring us into Jesus kingdom Colossians 1:13 John 1:12. The temple priesthood and the altar and temple worship ended at Jesus death or Christ our Passover Lamb has been sacrificed or by one sacrifice we have perfected forever Hebrews 10:14. 1 Corinthians 5:7. No more sacrifices or priests but we have Jesus our Great High Priest forever as our only mediator 1 Timothy 2:4;5
Thanks for enlighting us.Still there is a point to be cleared.As you have said King David in 2 Samuel 6 acted as priest and a king.But his offering was not wine and bread like Meleketsedek and Jesus.If this is the case how can we say that he was in the meleketsedek order?
*Melchisedec order* God's interpretation in Hebrews 7 clearly reveals who Melchisedec is to the New testament saints. We don't have to follow the Genealogy of Melchisedec since the writer of Hebrews have started mentioning Melchisedec from Chapter 5 & 6 quoting from Psalms 110. Melchisedec is not a type of Christ but Christ is sworn and ordained after the order of Melchisedec by God in Psalms 110 in eternity. This prophetical ordination concerning Christ is again mentioned in Hebrews chapter 5:5 to the begotten Son of God, which is to say to the Resurrected Christ (Psalms 2:7 & Acts 13:33) The prophecy of Hebrews 5:6 concerning Christ gets fulfilled in Hebrews 6:19 & 20 as He entered within the eternal veil. Before entering Into the eternal veil, Jesus was the forerunner and in entering, God's eternal Ordination after the order of Melchisedec fulfilled. Today we've a mediator (Hebrews 8:6)who's with an excellent ministry established in better promises or prophecies (Psalms 110) Law, Levitical priesthood, Animal sacrifices & blood, brings no perfection but God's begotten Son who is after the order of Melchisedec as our High priest, mediator and intercessor(Hebrews 7:25 & 26) is able to save to the uttermost. Many excellent things are mentioned of Jesus Christ who is after Melchisedec's eternal order. God's prophecy in Psalms 2:7 and 110:4 was only for Christ alone which the Hebrews writer clearly highlighted in Hebrews 5:4. Begotten(Resurrected) Son of God is made a High priest after the order of Melchisedec and not the Apostles. Only the glorified Christ our forerunner after He entered into the eternal veil was made a high priest after the order of Melchisedec and not before that while Jesus was in earth (Hebrews 8:1-4). Hebrews 7:14-17, the scripture talks not only about the evidence, but yet far more evdient: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec ariseth after the power of an endless life another priest Jesus Christ, whom God testifieth after the order of Melchisedec. These verses confirmed that Melchisedec is the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ received no old testament Genealogies ordination since He's after the power of an endless life and after the similitude of Melchisedec The Holy Ghost of God Testifieth. Hallelujah. Study from God, about The Begotten Son of God & The order of Melchisedec and not from the theologians and Hebrew Dictionary. Praying in the Holy Ghost in tongues, God's mysteries will be revealed whose name is to be blessed. Many excellent things are written about Melchisedec in the Holy Scripture.
Did u say that Jesus instructed the apostles to perform sacrifices in memory of him??? 😮😮 And that he consecrated them as Melchizedekian priests? Then what is the interpretation of Matt 27:51 “At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.” What is the role of the priesthood?
Didn't David go against the command of God that the priestly office is privilege only to the line of Aaron? Being a king in Salem doesn't give him permission to resurrect another priestly (albeit more ancient) tradition. Where in the Old Testament whereby God is alright with it ?
Thank you. I liked the end where you mentioned communion similar to a thanksgiving for victory over our enemies. I’ve always see this Psalm talking about Jesus though… not about David. Jesus Himself quoted this psalm in Matthew 22:40>> when he was asking why David called the Messiah “My Lord”. That’s what’s made me read the psalm as one talking about Jesus, confirmed by Jesus, Himself, in Matthew 22.
Was King David from both the Tribe of Judah and Tribe of Levi? If he was not of the Levites, what was his reason why he could be a priest under the Order of Milchezadek? Was was David’s connection to Michezadek or the Order?
No Mel was both the King and the Priest of Jerusalem (Salem) In the book of Jashar, Mel is said to be Shem, son of Noah. So David, now King, residing in Jerusalem, adopts Shem’s position, and is thus, both King and Priest of Jerusalem. Fast forward to Jesus, Jesus Christ was condemned for being King of the Jews, nailed on his cross at Jerusalem, making Him King and Priest, in the order of Shem.
can we say that the catholic church has the unbroken line of priesthood that dates all the way back to Jesus and further back to David and even further back to Melchizedek? Or are we saying that only the catholic church lays the claim that it continues this tradition from Melchizedek?
Actually, after the Davidic kingdom 12 drives with Israel split between the north and south with 10 of the tribes were north and two of the tribes being Judah and Benjamin.
One of King David's descendants did give sacrifice and was told not to by the priests, later he became ill from this as a punishment. I forget this descendants name, he actually was one of the good descendants. So why was he punished?
Jesus mentions this in Luke 11, I believe. He uses this story to confound the Pharisees' man-made interpretations of the Torah. It's a lesson in exposing doctrinal hypocrisy. A lesson in righteousness!
What does the word say in this matter? "And so that what we have said is even more clear, If another priest like Melchizedek appears, one who has become a priest not on the basis of a regulation as to his ancestry but on the basis of the power of an indestructible life. For he testified about him, Ahdunizedek, “You are The Priest for eternity in the image of Melchizedek.” And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath, Yet he became a priest with an oath when Yahuuah said to him: "Yahuuah has sworn and will not change Yahuuah's mind: 'You are a priest forever.'" "For he testified about him, Ahdunizedek, “You are The Priest for eternity in the image of Melchizedek.”
Him Bike Romans 15:16. To be a Minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles. He gave me the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
Him Bike Catholics have priests, ordained to act for Christ to offer the sacrifice of bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ as food for our soul. Real food which we must eat to have eternal life. John 6:53,55.
I have a question. I believe that's exactly why 'lds' believes there's a great apostacy. That people lost the priesthood in the new testament because of heresy. What's the catholic perspective?
Yes, Brighamite Mormons claim that God withdrew all priesthood authority on Earth because of "apostasy" and other supposed iniquities, until a young charlatan named Joseph Smith claimed that in the 1820s he received directions to restore such priesthood authority, by which he built a massive following. Nearly all adult Mormon men you meet in person have what's called the "Melchizedek Priesthood", this includes *all* of those Mormon missionary "elders" on the street; they were granted it prior to their temple initiations and then serving on the streets.
@@Ekim1740see 2 Thessalonians 2, dear. Satan will cause a (last days) falling away or apostasy (of Israel) immediately before Christ's 2nd Coming. When He comes to reign as King of kings for 1000 years. That falling away of the church is NOW. Which is an awful situation but also exciting to realize how close we are to His return. We are just waiting for the son of perdition/false prophet/antichrist to be revealed. And also for "His arm" to be revealed. Isaiah explains this event as well. It's also called the Day of Jehovah or Great and Dreadful Day of the Lord. Great for the faithful believers and dreadful for the wicked. We are also waiting for the Bridegroom 🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔 and wedding feast/solemn assembly at Adam-ondi-ahman/commencement event of Christ's (and Bride/church of the Firstborn 👑👑) 1000 year Millennial reign. Zion the New Jerusalem will officially be established. Which event I believe is IMMINENT. ⏳⌛💥
The Melchizedek priesthood is forever. This means a man living currently is a priest in the manner of Melchizedek. He was baptized in spirit and fire(which I never hear anyone speak about for some reason). This man bears identifying marks that only a spirit anointed man can bear.
Melchizedek was born of a virgin just like Christ He could talk and he had his faculties the moment He popped out,the woman died,she was over 100 years old,it was Noah brother Nir wife who born the eternal priest,He had the bright nature so was pretty light and bright aswell as functional moments after birth,have you been told you will be a priest (or is now) in the priestly garments glorified,made Holy,incorruptible and able to intercede for man to the ALMIGHTY GOD of ISRAEL,what an honour
Darkness covers the earth and gross darkness the minds of men. You can’t figure things out without direct revelation. There is a living prophet and 12 apostles on the earth now. The lord has proceeded to do a marvelous work and a wonder among us. Jesus christ has appeared to and spoken with his chosen prophet face to face. The lord is preparing the earth for his coming
@@srilankangenie No! Jesus is the only priest of the Melchizedek order and the only one. He did not ordain the 12 apostles as priests of the order of Melchizedek. Jesus and only Jesus is the high priest as he lives forever!
*The order of Melchisedec* God's prophecy of this Melchisedec order was to His Only Begotten Son Psalms 110:1&4. God's prophecy in Psalms 2:7 concerning Messiah the begotten Son is taught by the Apostles in Acts 13:33-34. Begotten Son's meaning is Son raised from the dead. To this Begotten Son was the eternal prophecy of the order of Melchisedec fulfilled. God's prophecy was to His Only Begotten Son and not to the Apostles. After the order of Melchisedec Jesus Christ was not found in this very world but in eternity. Christ was a forerunner when he was in this world before he entered into the veil (eternity) and was made a high priest after the order of Melchisedec. This is clearly mentioned in the scriptures in Hebrews 5:5,6. In verse Hebrews 5:4 *And no man taketh this honour to himself* significantly proves that the order of Melchisedec is not for Man/Apostles. *Begotten Son of God is made a High priest after the order of Melchisedec* Hallelujah
Yahshua has made all believers a priest in the Melchizedek order, not just the 12 disciples. See Rev. 1:6 and 1 Peter 2:9. It was always the Father’s plan to have a nation of priests. See Ex. 19:6.
Did you know that there's only one type of person that will avoid tasting the second death? Those who are killed for the word of God and bear the testimony of Jesus Christ which is prophecy. They will not taste the second death and they will reign with Christ for a thousand years and after the thousand years the rest of the Dead will be resurrected. Heaven isn't in some other dimension somewhere it's in the future.
There will never be another David style King and Priest..... The next king of Kings and Priest will be the return of the Lord Jesus Christ....Jesus Christ the same today yesterday and forever....but the Jews will be looking for their David style Messiah.....sorry but the wrong dude.....Jesus aint changing....just the times of his first and second coming are different..
This is only scratching the surface...Do you know that those who are chosen to be in the holy priesthood of Malkitzedeq (meaning King of Righteousness) live according to Scriptures and no longer sin, for the very word "righteousness" means to do what is right & therefore do not sin! as Scriptures tell us (see 1John3:7-10). In fact, Scriptures tell us that our Heavenly Father sent His Son into this evil world so that all who believe in Him shall not die but reborn & become His children (John 1), who no longer sin...only the children of the devil sin!!! (1John3:7-9). Although this truth is repeated throughout Scriptures, 1John 3:7-10 is the most clear and direct: "Dear children, don’t let anyone deceive you about this: When people do what is right (means no wrong nor sin), it shows that they are righteous, just as HaMashiyach is righteous. But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of Elohim came to destroy the works of the devil. Everyone who has been born of Elohim does not sin, because the seed planted by Elohim remains in him; he cannot sin, because he has been born of Elohim." This is how children of Elohim - and the children of the Devil-are made evident; (1John3:7-10) So which one of you love the Truth so you might be saved? For no one can enter Heaven without loving & knowing the Truth (John 14), for Scriptures tell us that this world belongs to Satan the Devil who rule & control this world!!! Do you know what this means? Still don't? Then what do you think when Scriptures tell us that Satan has deceived the WHOLE world? It means everything you ever learned are lies & deception from Satan, who rule/run this world. Find me one person in this world that is 100% truthful? And if you are shock because I point out these Scriptures...its because you are being deceived, just as Scriptures foretold, for everything have been prophesied, only few ever understand it, and when they do, they leave this world and give up everything to follow Him, just as our Mashiyach told us...and no longer sin, for sin hatred, but love comes from our Heavenly Father, so keeping His Word & Commandments are easy as love, for they are love!!! But if you are deceived you cannot see this truth but want to fight against it...Scriptures are the Word of the Father and is the Truth! And His Name IS NOT & CANNOT be Jesus, because the letter J did not exist & only invented recently in the 1600. Moreover, He was born a jew with a Jewish Name...and you know name does not change no matter what language, so who has the authority to change His Holy Name? And you are shock it proves you are deeply deceived, just as Scriptures tell us.
THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK. (Please open the Holy Bible and read the undermentioned Biblical verses 'real time' to understand this write up better). " Jesus Christ our Lord is the high priest in the order of Melchizedek. " 1. Melchizedek, who's hard to explain (Heb 5:11) 2. Natural and Spiritual Melchizedek. In old testament times when all priests blessed with animal sacrifice, Melchizedek the high priest, blessed Abraham with bread and wine. (Ge 14:18-20). Jesus Christ the highest priest of all, did exactly the same (Mt 26:26-28) Apostle Paul's Testimony (Heb 5:8-10) Then what is difficult to explain ?? 3. Points hard to explain. The difficult points. (Heb 7:1-3) Jesus had genealogy (Matt 1:1) and had parents who had faith in truth .(Matt 12:50) And is God almighty. (Jn 10:30) Thus, St Paul is NOT telling about the 1st coming, but the SECOND coming Christ. 4. We can recognise 2nd coming Christ if he fulfils the following. (Heb 7:3) a). Must have no genealogy in Israel unlike 1st coming. b). Must not have parents in faith, I,e,. They must be gentiles. c). Must bless with bread and wine like 1st coming as prophecied in (Isa 25:6-9) d) Must be God Almighty. (Heb 9:28) e) Christ forever (Isa 25:9) The one who fulfils all these prophecies and conditions is Our Father, the second coming Christ and he's the high priest in the order of Melchizedek. Amen !

It is the most terrible tragedy of the entire Church, all over the world, by all of the Christians; that all of the parishioners, don't say Mass for themselves and families and clergy. I'm not ordained by human hands, but trust me in this, I'm Very Very Very Ordained. I taught two protestants how to say Mass in minutes. I told them that I would prove to them that this works, and at 12 PM tomorrow, they would feel a buzzing sensation going through them. "That will be God going through them as I say Mass for them at 12PM," I told them. Exact at 11:55 AM the next day, I felt a buzzing sensation going through my body, like someone was saying Mass for me. They were just believing protestants and unordained, uneducated, and believers in Jesus, Our Lord and Savior. That is all, One male and One female. About 12 years ago, I said Mass for myself, and asked God to give me the knowledge of the future. About 9 years ago, I looked right into the future to see Obama win his election by 281 electoral college votes, "three days," before the voting took place. I immediately spread it all over Twitter and sent tweets off to Nancy Pelosi, MSNBC News, Kelly O'Donnell, Obama about seeing the final vote of 281; and the tweets are still on Twitter under Gary James Shields, on that time line spoken about above. TRUST ME ON THIS ONE. You could have all of the Parishes, all over the planet, praying for you both to live another hundred years with age regressing body's. You could have some praying for you to have Angels with you to talk to, Healing Powers, the Ability to Walk in the Water, To be bullet proof, to be invisible whenever your need to be, to be able to levitate and fly, A N Y T H I N G ! ! ! 500,000,000 Masses all said on the same day for you two; and you would have snapped your fingers and things would have been done for you. There is still time. Time is of the Essence ! ! ! DON'T IGNORE ME ! I Speak from Experience, Verily. Ask me what to ask God to give to you and I will instantly pray and say Mass for you to receive it. Reply to me in this comment section, and I will do it for you. Faith is, replying to this message and telling me what you would want. The rest is up to me and God. Those who call upon the Name of the Lord, shall not be disappointed. ..............................................................
Now who ordained the Lord Jesus? An angel? It must have been the Father, His Heavenly Father, as Jezus was His only begotten son. Who else could you imagine? There was nobody around with that authority at the time. But actually this Melchizedek Priesthood is only a nickname; its real title is Priesthood after the Order of the Son of God. Later it was called the Priesthood after the order of Enoch, and after that after the order of Melchizedek. You could read about is in the the book called Doctrine and Covenants, a latter day scripture issued by the Mormon Church. You should read it, is my advise. Good luck to you all.
Melchizedek???? IN HEBREW...MELECH ==KING .......................ZEDEK==RIGHTEOUSNESS ........................King of Salem...Jerusalem .........................YESHUA...KOHENIEM ITS A TITLE NOT A PERSON...ghezz...
Melchizedek is god the father the sovereign sun who has suns of god. Jesus said to enter thru the lions gate which is Leo Yesh me ayin. Father of all nations. Church is on a Sunday . Jerusalem was built for Melchizedek. See USA in Jerusalem . Jesus was methusalah . See USA in methusalah. Not Shem who is another sun.
I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents, therefore I was taught somewhat in all the learning of my father; and having seen many afflictions in the course of my days, nevertheless, having been highly favored of the Lord in all my days; yea, having had a great knowledge of the goodness and the mysteries of God, therefore I make a record of my proceedings in my days. Yea, I make a record in the language of my father, which consists of the learning of the Jews and the language of the Egyptians. And I know that the record which I make is true; and I make it with mine own hand; and I make it according to my knowledge". 1 Nephi 1-3 Hello friends, I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The verses above are the first three verses in The Book of Mormon. I know this probably isn't the most ideal place to talk about religion but I really do want you to know that God loves you. You may not love Him or care about Him at all, but He still will continue to love you. You are a beloved son or daughter of God. He knows you personally and He truly and deeply desires for your happiness. He loves everyone who has every lived on this earth, with a perfect equal love regardless of their race, gender, ethnicity, faith and values and beliefs. The Lord loves you more than you can think or comprehend. "He inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile" 2 Nephi. He is our loving Heavenly Father. We are literally His children and creations. When we were in the womb, he knew about us" Jerimiah 4:5. He knitted us and we were created in His image. I testify to you that you and I are not a mistake. He knows the very moment when we stand and when we sit. He is familiar with all our ways and knows us personally who we are. The hairs on our very head are numbered. God loved us so much, He sent His Only Begotten Son for us, that we may be able to return and dwell in the presence of God again. The Lord has not forgotten about us even when it feels like He has. He will never forsake us. When we are happy, He and His angels rejoice alongside us. When we are sad, He heals us and lifts us up from our trials. He has always been there for us. He has always been our loving, compassionate Heavenly Father and God. Will we always be His children and people? I testify to you that God lives and that Jesus is the Christ. Both love you exceedingly and rejoice when you are happy. They both love you so much. They love you with a love unfeigned. They will never ever stop doing good unto you. I know that The Book of Mormon is true. "And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost". Moroni 10:4 I promise and testify to you, that if you will read The Book of Mormon, ponder on its message and ask God if it is not true, you will come to know of its truthfulness, whether its true or not true. Remember my friends that God loves you with all his heart, might mind, soul and strength. He wants you to be happy. He knows what you are going through and dealing with right now. He desires for you to return back to Him. Unfortunately, He has been misrepresented and seen as a cruel and angry God who anticipates for us to slip and writes down every mistake we make waiting to punish us by those who do not know or know Him fully. My friends, God has stored many opportunities and blessings for you. He is very eager and desires with all His heart to bless you abundantly. He wants you to live with Him again. He wants to experience everlasting joy and indescribable happiness in this life and in the life to come. He wants you to partake of His goodness and come and follow Him. The Lord does not care how early or late you decide to come unto Him. I testify to you that if you have strayed and wondered off the path that there is hope in Jesus Christ, The Savior of the world. The Lord accepts those who come unto Him whether your early, late or just in time who desire to change. The Lord will accept you wholeheartedly and forgive you if you are willing to change. The Lord will welcome you and will always be ready to embrace you with open arms. If you desire to learn more, you are always welcome to visit comeuntochrist.org. There you will learn more about The Church of Jesus Christ and our core beliefs and values. If you have taken the time to read The Book of Mormon and this comment, thank you. It takes a huge leap of faith and a lot of courage to muster enough faith to read in the Book of Mormon and to believe in something in a personage that you may never see in this lifetime. Although we may not be able to see God and Jesus Christ in this life, I testify to you that they are real. They do truly exist. I promise you that if you will pray to know of their existence, you will come to know whether they exist or have been made up. Remember that The Lord is always available to talk to through prayer 24/7. No question sounds too silly for Him. James wrote, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him" James 1:5. If you must know whether or not something is true or evil and deceptive, you can always pray to God. He will help you know what is true and what is not true. He will never be too busy to talk to. He will give you strength you need to overcome your temptations and will give you the strength you need to endure through your trials and afflictions. Paul said that He will not give you temptations that you cannot resist, but that in your temptations, He will provide a way for you to resist and overcome them. He will provide a way. He wants to bless you and reward you abundantly. The Lord knows you and will not forget you. You are loved. You are utterly amazing. You are not forgotten or ever will be forsaken. You are special. You have been reserved for this time and The Lord needs you on His side. It simply would not be the same without you.
I'm not Catholic, but greatly appreciative of this understanding taught here. Thank you and blessings to all of sincere faith who seek sanctification and salvation.
I know this is an old post but what's holding you back from joining the Church? I would love to help or provide resources for theological questions.
@ericgarcia4049 for real I fell away from the church for almost twenty years but the good shepherd always waited for his lost sheep to find there way back home
Brant Pitre is absolutely incredible. His books helped in leading me to my reversion back to the Catholic faith ❤
I'm Orthodox; your videos are great!
Thanks Dr Pitre, you make scriptures really come alive which builds the faith
Great explanation Dr. Pitre! Thanks and God bless you in your ministry!
Thank you Giovanni.
Amazing explanation, Dr. Pitre! Thank you once again!
St Thomas Aquinas explains better the relation of Jesus’ priesthood with Mechizedech’s priesthood in the SummaTheologica, Third part, question 22, article 6
For a Catholic publication , it is explained beautiful, clearly & understandable , compare to other christian videos 👍👍👍
Thank you short and best summary of melchizedek
Beautifully explained.. Thanks 😊
Jesus, Our High priest ^_^. It's so easy to get disillusioned with the priesthood nowadays, so this was a video I felt I needed to watch.
@ I've never heard that speculation Jesus was Melchizedek was dismissed as either gonistic or gnostic heresy. What I believe was dismissed was the notion that we could know, as Christ never revealed this. But for Catholics, with typology, we don't need to know that, as we know the Melchizedek was a type of Christ. Now, there were gnostic documents found in the 1900s which suggest what you are saying, but that the Church established by Christ does not consider authoritative. Are you a Gnostic?
@ So, secret knowledge, Gospel of Thomas?
@ That doesn't sound much like Gnosticism to me. Are you sure you know what Catholics say about it?
Man I love these videos.
Thanks Justin! Appreciate the kind words.
Absolutely! I was scared when I decided to convert to Catholicism because no one else in my family is, and my brother is actually a member of a very fundamentalist church. Your work gives me a lot of the tools I use to defend the scriptural harmony of the Faith.
Now we who are in Christ are a royal priesthood of believers with Jesus Christ the Great High Priest forever and no no longer need for the temple priests. As St. Peter tells us in 1 Peter 2: 4-10.that we are now to be living stones of the spiritual temple and to be a royal priesthood and holy people. How do we enter this family of believers? We all have to do business directly with Jesus by calling on Jesus to rescue us from the kingdom of darkness and bring us into Jesus kingdom Colossians 1:13 John 1:12. The temple priesthood and the altar and temple worship ended at Jesus death or Christ our Passover Lamb has been sacrificed or by one sacrifice we have perfected forever Hebrews 10:14. 1 Corinthians 5:7. No more sacrifices or priests but we have Jesus our Great High Priest forever as our only mediator 1 Timothy 2:4;5
Sean Rath amen
Amen ❤
Thank you, this is very clear and concise . VIVA CRISTO REY!!!!
Thanks for enlighting us.Still there is a point to be cleared.As you have said King David in 2 Samuel 6 acted as priest and a king.But his offering was not wine and bread like Meleketsedek and Jesus.If this is the case how can we say that he was in the meleketsedek order?
I don't think we can
*Melchisedec order*
God's interpretation in Hebrews 7 clearly reveals who Melchisedec is to the New testament saints. We don't have to follow the Genealogy of Melchisedec since the writer of Hebrews have started mentioning Melchisedec from Chapter 5 & 6 quoting from Psalms 110. Melchisedec is not a type of Christ but Christ is sworn and ordained after the order of Melchisedec by God in Psalms 110 in eternity. This prophetical ordination concerning Christ is again mentioned in Hebrews chapter 5:5 to the begotten Son of God, which is to say to the Resurrected Christ (Psalms 2:7 & Acts 13:33)
The prophecy of Hebrews 5:6 concerning Christ gets fulfilled in Hebrews 6:19 & 20 as He entered within the eternal veil. Before entering Into the eternal veil, Jesus was the forerunner and in entering, God's eternal Ordination after the order of Melchisedec fulfilled.
Today we've a mediator (Hebrews 8:6)who's with an excellent ministry established in better promises or prophecies (Psalms 110) Law, Levitical priesthood, Animal sacrifices & blood, brings no perfection but God's begotten Son who is after the order of Melchisedec as our High priest, mediator and intercessor(Hebrews 7:25 & 26) is able to save to the uttermost.
Many excellent things are mentioned of Jesus Christ who is after Melchisedec's eternal order.
God's prophecy in Psalms 2:7 and 110:4 was only for Christ alone which the Hebrews writer clearly highlighted in Hebrews 5:4.
Begotten(Resurrected) Son of God is made a High priest after the order of Melchisedec and not the Apostles. Only the glorified Christ our forerunner after He entered into the eternal veil was made a high priest after the order of Melchisedec and not before that while Jesus was in earth (Hebrews 8:1-4).
Hebrews 7:14-17, the scripture talks not only about the evidence, but yet far more evdient: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec ariseth after the power of an endless life another priest Jesus Christ, whom God testifieth after the order of Melchisedec. These verses confirmed that Melchisedec is the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ received no old testament Genealogies ordination since He's after the power of an endless life and after the similitude of Melchisedec The Holy Ghost of God Testifieth. Hallelujah.
Study from God, about The Begotten Son of God & The order of Melchisedec and not from the theologians and Hebrew Dictionary.
Praying in the Holy Ghost in tongues, God's mysteries will be revealed whose name is to be blessed. Many excellent things are written about Melchisedec in the Holy Scripture.
Did u say that Jesus instructed the apostles to perform sacrifices in memory of him??? 😮😮
And that he consecrated them as Melchizedekian priests?
Then what is the interpretation of Matt 27:51 “At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.”
What is the role of the priesthood?
Good listening I love it! Using the Bible I love it more!! Getting to the Truth 👊🏼🙌🏼
Didn't David go against the command of God that the priestly office is privilege only to the line of Aaron? Being a king in Salem doesn't give him permission to resurrect another priestly (albeit more ancient) tradition. Where in the Old Testament whereby God is alright with it ?
Thank you.
I liked the end where you mentioned communion similar to a thanksgiving for victory over our enemies.
I’ve always see this Psalm talking about Jesus though… not about David. Jesus Himself quoted this psalm in Matthew 22:40>> when he was asking why David called the Messiah “My Lord”. That’s what’s made me read the psalm as one talking about Jesus, confirmed by Jesus, Himself, in Matthew 22.
Thank you!
Was King David from both the Tribe of Judah and Tribe of Levi? If he was not of the Levites, what was his reason why he could be a priest under the Order of Milchezadek? Was was David’s connection to Michezadek or the Order?
No
Mel was both the King and the Priest of Jerusalem (Salem)
In the book of Jashar, Mel is said to be Shem, son of Noah.
So David, now King, residing in Jerusalem, adopts Shem’s position, and is thus, both King and Priest of Jerusalem.
Fast forward to Jesus, Jesus Christ was condemned for being King of the Jews, nailed on his cross at Jerusalem, making Him King and Priest, in the order of Shem.
THANK YOU for explaining this!!!!
😱😱😱😱 I was never taught this. Thanks Dr Pitre. Now I know that Salem Jerusalem
I wonder why.
In your opinion, what priesthood did and do the Bishops hold?
Strange, I looked up Psalms 110 in the Douay Rheims online and it says nothing about Melchizedek?
Aha!!! I found it in Psalms 109:4 in the Douay Rheims.
Thank you.
He's mentioned, even an author in the Urantia Book. profusely.
Michael Jeremy Leavitt
This was very good revelatory Knowledge good job 👍
Extremely good!
thank you for this information. I have a strong resonance with Yeshua Mashiya and the order of Melchizidek
can we say that the catholic church has the unbroken line of priesthood that dates all the way back to Jesus and further back to David and even further back to Melchizedek? Or are we saying that only the catholic church lays the claim that it continues this tradition from Melchizedek?
It is not claim but true, not only Catholics but orthodox also.
You ask the right questions and get the wrong answers...leading you to the Truth!
Actually, after the Davidic kingdom 12 drives with Israel split between the north and south with 10 of the tribes were north and two of the tribes being Judah and Benjamin.
One of King David's descendants did give sacrifice and was told not to by the priests, later he became ill from this as a punishment. I forget this descendants name, he actually was one of the good descendants. So why was he punished?
King Uzziah entered the Temple to burn incense. Only Levitical priests could enter the Temple.
This is so incredible
How come I don't hear people suggesting blood = bloodline, heritage?
I wondered why David went into the temple and ate the bread reserved for the priest. Thanks
Showbread=forerunner of the Eucharistic Host.....
Maybe David and his mates were just hungry?
@ that's true but it has liturgical significance...only the Priests who served the Temple were allowed to eat the Showbread...
They were hungry and next day went to battle
Jesus mentions this in Luke 11, I believe. He uses this story to confound the Pharisees' man-made interpretations of the Torah. It's a lesson in exposing doctrinal hypocrisy. A lesson in righteousness!
What does the word say in this matter?
"And so that what we have said is even more clear, If another priest like Melchizedek appears, one who has become a priest not on the basis of a regulation as to his ancestry but on the basis of the power of an indestructible life.
For he testified about him, Ahdunizedek, “You are The Priest for eternity in the image of Melchizedek.”
And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath, Yet he became a priest with an oath when Yahuuah said to him: "Yahuuah has sworn and will not change Yahuuah's mind: 'You are a priest forever.'"
"For he testified about him, Ahdunizedek, “You are The Priest for eternity in the image of Melchizedek.”
Now I understand first communion as an event starting before the last supper and jesus knew about it also
If David was both king and priest then is it true that jesus' priesthood is derived
Q. As a Catholic I know the word Catholic was first used around 107ad.
When was the word priest first used ?
Thx.
My understanding is 'priest' is just the English word for the Latin 'presbyter.' Not an expert, though.
Paul Miller yes I’ve heard that.
Just wondering when and how it was used in the early church. Thx
Him Bike
Romans 15:16. To be a
Minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles. He gave me the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
James Jeson awesome. Thx.
Whenever I get in debates with Protestants they seem to hate the fact that Catholics have priests.
Him Bike
Catholics have priests,
ordained to act for Christ to offer the sacrifice of bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ as food for our soul. Real food which we must eat to have eternal life. John 6:53,55.
This person said psalm 110 is the only scripture that brings out Melchizedek in the old Testament. See Genesis 14:18.
I have a question. I believe that's exactly why 'lds' believes there's a great apostacy. That people lost the priesthood in the new testament because of heresy.
What's the catholic perspective?
Yes, Brighamite Mormons claim that God withdrew all priesthood authority on Earth because of "apostasy" and other supposed iniquities, until a young charlatan named Joseph Smith claimed that in the 1820s he received directions to restore such priesthood authority, by which he built a massive following. Nearly all adult Mormon men you meet in person have what's called the "Melchizedek Priesthood", this includes *all* of those Mormon missionary "elders" on the street; they were granted it prior to their temple initiations and then serving on the streets.
Bible did not predict a great apostasy as Jesus Hell will not prevail over his Church.
@@elderbroomhead2671"Brighamite Mormons". GROW UP. And stop spreading your dumb lies about LDS.
@@Ekim1740see 2 Thessalonians 2, dear. Satan will cause a (last days) falling away or apostasy (of Israel) immediately before Christ's 2nd Coming. When He comes to reign as King of kings for 1000 years. That falling away of the church is NOW. Which is an awful situation but also exciting to realize how close we are to His return. We are just waiting for the son of perdition/false prophet/antichrist to be revealed. And also for "His arm" to be revealed. Isaiah explains this event as well. It's also called the Day of Jehovah or Great and Dreadful Day of the Lord. Great for the faithful believers and dreadful for the wicked.
We are also waiting for the Bridegroom 🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔 and wedding feast/solemn assembly at Adam-ondi-ahman/commencement event of Christ's (and Bride/church of the Firstborn 👑👑) 1000 year Millennial reign. Zion the New Jerusalem will officially be established. Which event I believe is IMMINENT. ⏳⌛💥
Who was called a priest of God before Moses other than Mechizedek, out of the kingdom of Israel?
The Melchizedek priesthood is forever. This means a man living currently is a priest in the manner of Melchizedek. He was baptized in spirit and fire(which I never hear anyone speak about for some reason). This man bears identifying marks that only a spirit anointed man can bear.
And who is this man?
Not much said about Melchizedek
Brilliant
What about prophets?
Please upload these videos on Facebook.
Melchizedek was born of a virgin just like Christ He could talk and he had his faculties the moment He popped out,the woman died,she was over 100 years old,it was Noah brother Nir wife who born the eternal priest,He had the bright nature so was pretty light and bright aswell as functional moments after birth,have you been told you will be a priest (or is now) in the priestly garments glorified,made Holy,incorruptible and able to intercede for man to the ALMIGHTY GOD of ISRAEL,what an honour
Lol where did you get this interesting info broooo? 😅🧐📖
So Jerusalem is derived from the word Salem
WOW. Just wow.
The tarot and oracle of reader brought me here. Remember that. 😇
Cool!
Darkness covers the earth and gross darkness the minds of men. You can’t figure things out without direct revelation. There is a living prophet and 12 apostles on the earth now. The lord has proceeded to do a marvelous work and a wonder among us. Jesus christ has appeared to and spoken with his chosen prophet face to face. The lord is preparing the earth for his coming
y u no recognize the Book of Mormon
Lo "Ahayah Ahdunaizedek Yahuuahshayahuuahlah Ben Yahuuah!"
This Guy seems very interesting.
The short answer if who is Melchizedek is the Lord Himself.
How sad to read Garry Wills description of Melchizedek as a myth
Its amazing how Joseph Smith got this right. Jesus ordained the Disciples to the Melchezedek Priesthood
Cool, he also got other stuff wrong.
@@ramonmoreno5487 like what?
@@srilankangenie ruclips.net/video/NwJ30QTmyUY/видео.html
@@srilankangenie No! Jesus is the only priest of the Melchizedek order and the only one. He did not ordain the 12 apostles as priests of the order of Melchizedek. Jesus and only Jesus is the high priest as he lives forever!
@@michaeldrouillard720 That’s a round about way of restating what we believe about the Melchizedek priesthood also
*The order of Melchisedec*
God's prophecy of this Melchisedec order was to His Only Begotten Son Psalms 110:1&4.
God's prophecy in Psalms 2:7 concerning Messiah the begotten Son is taught by the Apostles in Acts 13:33-34. Begotten Son's meaning is Son raised from the dead.
To this Begotten Son was the eternal prophecy of the order of Melchisedec fulfilled. God's prophecy was to His Only Begotten Son and not to the Apostles. After the order of Melchisedec Jesus Christ was not found in this very world but in eternity.
Christ was a forerunner when he was in this world before he entered into the veil (eternity) and was made a high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
This is clearly mentioned in the scriptures in Hebrews 5:5,6. In verse Hebrews 5:4 *And no man taketh this honour to himself* significantly proves that the order of Melchisedec is not for Man/Apostles.
*Begotten Son of God is made a High priest after the order of Melchisedec*
Hallelujah
Yahshua has made all believers a priest in the Melchizedek order, not just the 12 disciples. See Rev. 1:6 and 1 Peter 2:9. It was always the Father’s plan to have a nation of priests. See Ex. 19:6.
Jasher 16:11 say shem is melchizedek
JESUS IS KING DAVID BORN AGAIN
4EVER
Sir you have misunderstood this psalm.
From the dark comes the light...I get it 🙂
Did you know that there's only one type of person that will avoid tasting the second death? Those who are killed for the word of God and bear the testimony of Jesus Christ which is prophecy. They will not taste the second death and they will reign with Christ for a thousand years and after the thousand years the rest of the Dead will be resurrected. Heaven isn't in some other dimension somewhere it's in the future.
JOHN THE BAPTIST THE LAST PRIEST FROM AARON TRIBE AND HE TRANSFERRED THE PRIESTHOOD TO JESUS
AFTER THE BAPTISM

I love this ewetoob thing...
Melchizedeck
Hebrew translation
MEL comes from MELEK meaning KING
ZEDEK comes from ZADIK meaning JUST
REY JUSTO.
There will never be another David style King and Priest..... The next king of Kings and Priest will be the return of the Lord Jesus Christ....Jesus Christ the same today yesterday and forever....but the Jews will be looking for their David style Messiah.....sorry but the wrong dude.....Jesus aint changing....just the times of his first and second coming are different..
Urantia book
This is only scratching the surface...Do you know that those who are chosen to be in the holy priesthood of Malkitzedeq (meaning King of Righteousness) live according to Scriptures and no longer sin, for the very word "righteousness" means to do what is right & therefore do not sin! as Scriptures tell us (see 1John3:7-10). In fact, Scriptures tell us that our Heavenly Father sent His Son into this evil world so that all who believe in Him shall not die but reborn & become His children (John 1), who no longer sin...only the children of the devil sin!!! (1John3:7-9). Although this truth is repeated throughout Scriptures, 1John 3:7-10 is the most clear and direct:
"Dear children, don’t let anyone deceive you about this: When people do what is right (means no wrong nor sin), it shows that they are righteous, just as HaMashiyach is righteous. But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of Elohim came to destroy the works of the devil. Everyone who has been born of Elohim does not sin, because the seed planted by Elohim remains in him; he cannot sin, because he has been born of Elohim."
This is how children of Elohim - and the children of the Devil-are made evident; (1John3:7-10)
So which one of you love the Truth so you might be saved? For no one can enter Heaven without loving & knowing the Truth (John 14), for Scriptures tell us that this world belongs to Satan the Devil who rule & control this world!!! Do you know what this means? Still don't? Then what do you think when Scriptures tell us that Satan has deceived the WHOLE world? It means everything you ever learned are lies & deception from Satan, who rule/run this world. Find me one person in this world that is 100% truthful?
And if you are shock because I point out these Scriptures...its because you are being deceived, just as Scriptures foretold, for everything have been prophesied, only few ever understand it, and when they do, they leave this world and give up everything to follow Him, just as our Mashiyach told us...and no longer sin, for sin hatred, but love comes from our Heavenly Father, so keeping His Word & Commandments are easy as love, for they are love!!! But if you are deceived you cannot see this truth but want to fight against it...Scriptures are the Word of the Father and is the Truth!
And His Name IS NOT & CANNOT be Jesus, because the letter J did not exist & only invented recently in the 1600. Moreover, He was born a jew with a Jewish Name...and you know name does not change no matter what language, so who has the authority to change His Holy Name? And you are shock it proves you are deeply deceived, just as Scriptures tell us.
THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK.
(Please open the Holy Bible and read the undermentioned Biblical verses 'real time' to understand this write up better).
" Jesus Christ our Lord is the high priest in the order of Melchizedek. "
1. Melchizedek, who's hard to explain
(Heb 5:11)
2. Natural and Spiritual Melchizedek.
In old testament times when all priests blessed with animal sacrifice, Melchizedek the high priest, blessed Abraham with bread and wine.
(Ge 14:18-20).
Jesus Christ the highest priest of all, did exactly the same
(Mt 26:26-28)
Apostle Paul's Testimony
(Heb 5:8-10)
Then what is difficult to explain ??
3. Points hard to explain.
The difficult points.
(Heb 7:1-3)
Jesus had genealogy (Matt 1:1)
and had parents who had faith in truth .(Matt 12:50)
And is God almighty. (Jn 10:30)
Thus, St Paul is NOT telling about the 1st coming, but the SECOND coming Christ.
4. We can recognise 2nd coming Christ if he fulfils the following. (Heb 7:3)
a). Must have no genealogy in Israel unlike 1st coming.
b). Must not have parents in faith, I,e,. They must be gentiles.
c). Must bless with bread and wine like 1st coming as prophecied in (Isa 25:6-9)
d) Must be God Almighty.
(Heb 9:28)
e) Christ forever
(Isa 25:9)
The one who fulfils all these prophecies and conditions is Our Father, the second coming Christ and he's the high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
Amen !

It is the most terrible tragedy of the entire Church, all over the world, by all of the Christians; that all of the parishioners, don't say Mass for themselves and families and clergy.
I'm not ordained by human hands, but trust me in this, I'm Very Very Very Ordained.
I taught two protestants how to say Mass in minutes. I told them that I would prove to them that this works, and at 12 PM tomorrow, they would feel a buzzing sensation going through them. "That will be God going through them as I say Mass for them at 12PM," I told them.
Exact at 11:55 AM the next day, I felt a buzzing sensation going through my body, like someone was saying Mass for me.
They were just believing protestants and unordained, uneducated, and believers in Jesus, Our Lord and Savior. That is all, One male and One female.
About 12 years ago, I said Mass for myself, and asked God to give me the knowledge of the future. About 9 years ago, I looked right into the future to see Obama win his election by 281 electoral college votes, "three days," before the voting took place.
I immediately spread it all over Twitter and sent tweets off to Nancy Pelosi, MSNBC News, Kelly O'Donnell, Obama about seeing the final vote of 281; and the tweets are still on Twitter under Gary James Shields, on that time line spoken about above.
TRUST ME ON THIS ONE.
You could have all of the Parishes, all over the planet, praying for you both to live another hundred years with age regressing body's. You could have some praying for you to have Angels with you to talk to, Healing Powers, the Ability to Walk in the Water, To be bullet proof, to be invisible whenever your need to be, to be able to levitate and fly, A N Y T H I N G ! ! !
500,000,000 Masses all said on the same day for you two; and you would have snapped your fingers and things would have been done for you.
There is still time. Time is of the Essence ! ! ! DON'T IGNORE ME ! I Speak from Experience, Verily.
Ask me what to ask God to give to you and I will instantly pray and say Mass for you to receive it. Reply to me in this comment section, and I will do it for you.
Faith is, replying to this message and telling me what you would want.
The rest is up to me and God.
Those who call upon the Name of the Lord, shall not be disappointed.

The entire Levite idea seems like historical revisionism tbh
Pro Deo et ecclesia
That false teaching. Melchizedek was with with out mother,father beginning or ending. Was High the priest God the Father. b4 God creature the world.
Now who ordained the Lord Jesus? An angel? It must have been the Father, His Heavenly Father, as Jezus was His only begotten son. Who else could you imagine? There was nobody around with that authority at the time. But actually this Melchizedek Priesthood is only a nickname; its real title is Priesthood after the Order of the Son of God. Later it was called the Priesthood after the order of Enoch, and after that after the order of Melchizedek.
You could read about is in the the book called Doctrine and Covenants, a latter day scripture issued by the Mormon Church. You should read it, is my advise. Good luck to you all.
The Mormon church?
Melchizedek????
IN HEBREW...MELECH ==KING
.......................ZEDEK==RIGHTEOUSNESS
........................King of Salem...Jerusalem
.........................YESHUA...KOHENIEM
ITS A TITLE NOT A PERSON...ghezz...
Melchizedek is Jesus in spirit form.
No, but Jehovah is Jesus. His name before His birth and mortal ministry. His Father and Most High God is Elohim.
Image of god the father
Melchizedek is god the father the sovereign sun who has suns of god. Jesus said to enter thru the lions gate which is Leo Yesh me ayin. Father of all nations. Church is on a Sunday . Jerusalem was built for Melchizedek. See USA in Jerusalem . Jesus was methusalah . See USA in methusalah. Not Shem who is another sun.

Check out First Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ with Pastor Gino Jennings for the Truth of God. God bless you all.
I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents, therefore I was taught somewhat in all the learning of my father; and having seen many afflictions in the course of my days, nevertheless, having been highly favored of the Lord in all my days; yea, having had a great knowledge of the goodness and the mysteries of God, therefore I make a record of my proceedings in my days. Yea, I make a record in the language of my father, which consists of the learning of the Jews and the language of the Egyptians.
And I know that the record which I make is true; and I make it with mine own hand; and I make it according to my knowledge". 1 Nephi 1-3
Hello friends, I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The verses above are the first three verses in The Book of Mormon. I know this probably isn't the most ideal place to talk about religion but I really do want you to know that God loves you. You may not love Him or care about Him at all, but He still will continue to love you. You are a beloved son or daughter of God. He knows you personally and He truly and deeply desires for your happiness. He loves everyone who has every lived on this earth, with a perfect equal love regardless of their race, gender, ethnicity, faith and values and beliefs. The Lord loves you more than you can think or comprehend. "He inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile" 2 Nephi. He is our loving Heavenly Father. We are literally His children and creations. When we were in the womb, he knew about us" Jerimiah 4:5. He knitted us and we were created in His image.
I testify to you that you and I are not a mistake. He knows the very moment when we stand and when we sit. He is familiar with all our ways and knows us personally who we are. The hairs on our very head are numbered. God loved us so much, He sent His Only Begotten Son for us, that we may be able to return and dwell in the presence of God again. The Lord has not forgotten about us even when it feels like He has. He will never forsake us. When we are happy, He and His angels rejoice alongside us. When we are sad, He heals us and lifts us up from our trials. He has always been there for us. He has always been our loving, compassionate Heavenly Father and God. Will we always be His children and people?
I testify to you that God lives and that Jesus is the Christ. Both love you exceedingly and rejoice when you are happy. They both love you so much. They love you with a love unfeigned. They will never ever stop doing good unto you. I know that The Book of Mormon is true. "And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost". Moroni 10:4 I promise and testify to you, that if you will read The Book of Mormon, ponder on its message and ask God if it is not true, you will come to know of its truthfulness, whether its true or not true.
Remember my friends that God loves you with all his heart, might mind, soul and strength. He wants you to be happy. He knows what you are going through and dealing with right now. He desires for you to return back to Him. Unfortunately, He has been misrepresented and seen as a cruel and angry God who anticipates for us to slip and writes down every mistake we make waiting to punish us by those who do not know or know Him fully.
My friends, God has stored many opportunities and blessings for you. He is very eager and desires with all His heart to bless you abundantly. He wants you to live with Him again. He wants to experience everlasting joy and indescribable happiness in this life and in the life to come. He wants you to partake of His goodness and come and follow Him. The Lord does not care how early or late you decide to come unto Him. I testify to you that if you have strayed and wondered off the path that there is hope in Jesus Christ, The Savior of the world. The Lord accepts those who come unto Him whether your early, late or just in time who desire to change. The Lord will accept you wholeheartedly and forgive you if you are willing to change. The Lord will welcome you and will always be ready to embrace you with open arms.
If you desire to learn more, you are always welcome to visit comeuntochrist.org. There you will learn more about The Church of Jesus Christ and our core beliefs and values. If you have taken the time to read The Book of Mormon and this comment, thank you. It takes a huge leap of faith and a lot of courage to muster enough faith to read in the Book of Mormon and to believe in something in a personage that you may never see in this lifetime. Although we may not be able to see God and Jesus Christ in this life, I testify to you that they are real. They do truly exist. I promise you that if you will pray to know of their existence, you will come to know whether they exist or have been made up.
Remember that The Lord is always available to talk to through prayer 24/7. No question sounds too silly for Him. James wrote, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him" James 1:5. If you must know whether or not something is true or evil and deceptive, you can always pray to God. He will help you know what is true and what is not true. He will never be too busy to talk to. He will give you strength you need to overcome your temptations and will give you the strength you need to endure through your trials and afflictions. Paul said that He will not give you temptations that you cannot resist, but that in your temptations, He will provide a way for you to resist and overcome them. He will provide a way. He wants to bless you and reward you abundantly. The Lord knows you and will not forget you. You are loved. You are utterly amazing. You are not forgotten or ever will be forsaken. You are special. You have been reserved for this time and The Lord needs you on His side.
It simply would not be the same without you.
What Jesus you talking about the one who is brother of satan?

Melchizedek king of Peace
Yeshua prince of Peace..

Melchizedek is the King of the Jews. He is King Jupiter.
The holy orders priesthood has been taken away. Jesus took away priesthood from Levites.
How ? When the levitical priest had everlasting priesthood. Aaron's seeds only could be the high priest
all BS, he's so wrong i don't know were to begin
There’s no such thing as Melchizedek priesthood! Melchizedek is one person & only Christ! Anyone claiming such is a a charlatan!
