Jesus' Temptation to Idolatry

[Fool]

Heb only says that Christ was a priest for ever in the order of Melchizedek. He never said that he was Melchizedek. We can suppose that Melchizedek was a priest appointed directly by God by some exercise of divine favour bestowed on him.

he told he was melchizedek to abraham to the pharisees. just as he told that john was elijah. paul tells you another of his avatars. the first adam vs the second adam. adam was the one who fell and melchizedek redeemed himself.

We have no idea who Melchizedek was. In fact the bible explicitly says that we have know idea who he was, or who his parents were.

you may not but some jews claim otherwise.


Melchizedek


those who are born of the spirit don't have a fleshly mother or father. they aren't born of the flesh, of this world.


if the Spirit is like the wind and doesn't know from where it comes, how then do you assign it to a person? i do not honor the flesh. i honor my father and mother, God. like adam some are born of god. melchizedek was eternal, without days. born without a fleshly mother, or father, because he was born of the Spirit and water.

I have no idea how you are making a connection between Melchizedek and Ham. In Chazalic literature Melchizedek is a nickname for Shem.

Ham, or cham, is the father of canaan. Canaan was the father of the Canaanites. Melchizedek was a canaanite when abraham settled there.

Canaan was cursed by noah. Canaan literally means lowland.


humbled and exalted are somewhat like cursed and blessed. to exalt or to lower. blessed are the lowly for they shall inherit the earth. blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of God on earth.

 

[1213]

Does Jesus tempt people to worship him, like the tempter did in the desert?

I don’t see any reason to think so.

Jesus gave always glory to God and gave credit to God.
