In biblical Christianity, the Melchizedek priesthood is an office that applies only to Christ. Melchizedek is introduced in Genesis 14:18 and is described as the king of Salem and “priest of God.” Abram (later Abraham) offers Melchizedek a tithe and is blessed. The name Melchizedek is the combination of the Hebrew words for “king” and “righteous,” making Melchizedek a righteous, kingly priest.

Melchizedek Priesthood
The passage discusses the priesthood of Melchizedek and how it establishes Jesus Christ's superior priesthood. Some key points:
1. Melchizedek was both a king and priest, showing Christ was given a royal priesthood.
2. Melchizedek received tithes from Abraham, showing Christ's priesthood is authoritative.
3. As Melchizedek had no record of birth or death, Christ has a timeless and permanent priesthood not dependent on mortal men like the Levitical priests.
Priest vs Prophets
The people of Jesus’ day referred to Him as a prophet many times, and He took the title upon Himself as well (Matthew 21:11; Luke 7:16; John 4:19; Mark 6:4). Both Peter and Stephen spoke of Jesus as being the ultimate fulfillment of Moses’ prophecy in Deuteronomy 18:15—Jesus is the prophet like Moses who must be listened to (Acts 3:17–23; 7:37–38, 51–53).

Sabbath school lesson 6, 4th quarter 2018
The document discusses several biblical images that represent the unity of the church, including being one people, one building/home, one temple, one body, and one flock with one shepherd. It explores the meanings behind these images, emphasizing that though Christians are diverse, they are united through their common relationship with Christ and dependence on him for life, growth, and fruitfulness. Disunity and division threaten the church, so believers must remain centered on Christ and obedient to his voice in order to maintain their unity.
Sacraments
The document introduces the seven sacraments of the Catholic Church. It explains that the sacraments are performative acts where Christ is present and working through signs to communicate grace. The sacraments are divided into three categories: initiation (baptism, confirmation, Eucharist), healing (penance and anointing of the sick), and vocation/commitment (marriage and holy orders). The sacraments sanctify believers, build up the Church, give worship to God, and nourish faith.

Simeon, a righteous and devout man who was waiting for the Messiah, took Jesus in his arms when Mary and Joseph brought him to the temple. Simeon praised God, saying he could now die in peace since he had seen the salvation that God had prepared. He prophesied that Jesus would be a sign that would cause division but reveal people's true thoughts. The elderly prophet Anna also recognized Jesus as the redemption of Jerusalem and spoke of him in the temple.
Passion Palm Sunday Done
1) The passage describes Palm Sunday and the beginning of Holy Week, which commemorates the death of Jesus Christ, who died for humanity's sins.
2) It provides context for the scripture readings, including Jesus entering Jerusalem humbly, the prophet Isaiah suffering in his mission but being sustained by God, and Jesus willingly accepting death on the cross so that God would raise him as Lord of heaven and earth.
3) The reflection focuses on Jesus' agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, as he turned to his sleeping disciples for comfort but found none, in his moment of deepest humanity before his death.

3. Jesus is described as the perfect high priest, being holy, sinless, and raised above the heavens, offering his sacrifice once for all time in contrast to earthly high priests.
The Death of the Divine Warrior
A study of the Gospel of Mark with a particular emphasis on the use of the Scriptures of Israel in presenting Jesus as the fulfilment of the New Exodus hopes of Isaiah.
By Rev Jon Swales, Curate at St George's Church, Leeds
The Kingdom of God in the Gospels
The document discusses the key teachings of Jesus Christ regarding the Kingdom of God based on accounts in the Gospels. It notes that Jesus proclaimed the Kingdom of God as both a present reality through his ministry and teachings, as well as a future fulfillment. While drawing on Jewish concepts of the Kingdom from the Old Testament, Jesus portrayed the Kingdom in a way that fulfilled prophecies and established God's reign through his authority, miracles, and call for repentance. The document examines what the Kingdom meant for Jesus and his followers based on biblical sources.
Urb
The document compares the Levitical high priests of the Old Testament to Jesus as the new high priest. It lists several key differences:
1) There were many temporary Levitical priests, but Jesus is the one eternal high priest.
2) The Levitical priests offered sacrifices daily that could never take away sins, but Jesus offered a single sacrifice that took sins away once for all.
3) The Levitical priests first had to offer sacrifices for their own sins before others', but Jesus was sinless and offered himself as the sacrifice.
Hebrews chapter 7
Who is Melchizedek? How is he related to Jesus? What is this chapter really trying to tell the Hebrew Christian?
Covenants in Christianity.pdf
This document provides an analysis of how the Gospels of Matthew and Luke portray the new covenant established by Jesus Christ differently. Matthew depicts the new covenant as belonging specifically to the Hebrew-Christian people, emphasizing Jesus' lineage from Abraham and David. Luke presents the new covenant as universal and open to all of humanity. Both Gospels view the new covenant as conditional, requiring one to follow God's laws, but Matthew prioritizes the Hebrew-Christian people as exemplars while Luke frames Jesus as a relatable figure for all people. These differing portrayals suggest distinct frameworks for approaching Christian ethics and morality.
03 who is jesus christ
Peter answers that Jesus is the Christ of God. While Jesus could be considered a great teacher or leader, the most important question is determining who He is. It is a question that has eternal consequences. Jesus performed miracles that proved His identity, like raising a boy from the dead, but some like John the Baptist still struggled with doubt. True knowledge of Jesus comes from a personal relationship with Him and surrendering one's life fully to Him as Lord.
Matthew
The four Gospels provide accounts of Jesus's life and ministry from different perspectives. Matthew primarily writes for a Jewish audience to show that Jesus fulfilled Hebrew prophecies as the Messiah. The Gospel covers Jesus's birth, teachings, miracles, death, and resurrection. Matthew presents Jesus as the prophesied King of the Jews and emphasizes that he established the kingdom of God through his atoning sacrifice.

Qualities of a Pastor
The word pastor comes from a Latin word which means “shepherd.” The New Testament presents two offices that constitute church leadership—elder/overseer and deacon. Paul lists the qualifications for elder/overseer in 1 Timothy 3:1–7 and Titus 1:5–9. Notice that in the 1 Timothy passage, Paul refers to them as overseers/bishop (episcopos in the Greek), and in Titus he refers to them as elders (presbuteros in Greek). From this it can be concluded that there is one office with different designations. The word elder refers to the life experience of the office holder, while the word overseer/bishop emphasizes the responsibility of the office holder to watch over the congregation and meet their spiritual needs.
Glory of the Lord
Further, believers may have the “right” to do anything, but not everything is beneficial (1 Corinthians 10:23). Paul used the illustration of eating meat that had been dedicated to idols. To him, such a dedication meant nothing since idols are not real gods. However, he would abstain from eating meat for the good of others who might sin by following his example. Believers serve the Lord both through their personal lives and in their actions toward others.
Predestination
According to Romans 8:29-30, God predetermined that certain individuals would be conformed to the likeness of His Son, be called, justified, and glorified. Essentially, God predetermines that certain individuals will be saved. Numerous scriptures refer to believers in Christ being chosen (Matthew 24:22, 31; Mark 13:20, 27; Romans 8:33, 9:11, 11:5-7, 28; Ephesians 1:11; Colossians 3:12; 1 Thessalonians 1:4; 1 Timothy 5:21; 2 Timothy 2:10; Titus 1:1; 1 Peter 1:1-2, 2:9; 2 Peter 1:10). Predestination is the biblical doctrine that God in His sovereignty chooses certain individuals to be saved, but this does not mean that all those who are saved were chosen in advance, just a select few for His purposes.
Deliberate Sin
God makes a distinction between those who sin in ignorance and those who sin willfully (Numbers 15:27-31), repentance is always necessary to receive forgiveness (Mark 1:15; Acts 2:38; Acts 26:18). Repentance is literally a change in one’s attitude about God and accompanies saving faith in Christ (Acts 3:19; 20:21; 26:20).
Without it there can be no forgiveness. Jesus said, “No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3; cf. 17:3-4; 2 Peter 3:9).
To sin willfully is to be proud and presumptuous in one’s defiance of God (Psalm 19:13; Hebrews 10:26). Willful sins bring God’s judgment, sooner or later, but sins of ignorance are not excusable, either:
Negative Theology
Negative theology asserts that God is essentially unknowable and focuses on describing what God is not rather than what He is. Positive theology makes affirmative statements about God's nature. While negative theology has its place in acknowledging limitations, the Bible primarily uses positive theology to describe God, such as portraying Him as good, merciful, and righteous. God has also chosen to reveal Himself through His incarnation in Jesus Christ and in the Bible.
Palm Sunday vs Palm Wednesday
The first thing to consider about Palm Sunday is the dispute surrounding the day of Jesus’ crucifixion, good Friday and the Sunday pre-ported to be the day of His resurrection. If Jesus did not die on a Friday, in brings into question NOT the occasion of Jesus’ entry into the city, but if this occurred on a Sunday. Palm Sunday is the day Christians celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, supposedly, one week before His resurrection (Matthew 21:1–11). As Jesus entered the holy city, He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha. Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called “Passion Week,” the final seven days of Jesus’ earthly ministry. Palm Sunday was the “beginning of the end” of Jesus’ work on earth.
Atheist
The short answer is Yes, according to Biblical context you will go to Hell, but thats the easy answer..I would be remiss if I did not take a moment to share the following.
If you consider yourself an atheist with a sincere interest in truth, there are several things about Christianity that's critical to understand. This article will solely deal with the biblical Christian faith which I subscribe to personally, and since this question is a biblical one I submit the following.
Why Catholics are Roman Catholics
A cursory reading of the New Testament will reveal that the Catholic Church does not have its origin in the teachings of Jesus or His apostles. In the New Testament, there is no mention of the papacy, worship/adoration of Mary (or the immaculate conception of Mary, the perpetual virginity of Mary, the assumption of Mary, or Mary as co-redemptrix and mediatrix), petitioning saints in heaven for their prayers, apostolic succession, the ordinances of the church functioning as sacraments, infant baptism, confession of sin to a priest, purgatory, indulgences, or the equal authority of church tradition and Scripture.
Baptism and the Holy Spirit
“Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Acts 2:37-38
“Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.” Acts 10:47-48
Here Peter was describing separate events, repentance and receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior are single transactions that once done results in the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. These are distinct separate events from the gifts of the Holy Spirit. They are separate from baptism in Jesus’ name, which is NOT required for salvation nor is baptism required in order to receive the gifts of the Spirit.
Ark of the Covenant
In the eighteenth year of his reign, King Josiah of Judah ordered the caretakers of the Ark of the Covenant to return it to the temple in Jerusalem (2 Chronicles 35:1-6; cf. 2 Kings 23:21-23). That is the last time the ark’s location is mentioned in the Scriptures.
Blasphemy
No it is not, to blaspheme is to speak with contempt about God or to be defiantly irreverent. Blasphemy is verbal or written reproach of God's name, character, work, or attributes.
Blasphemy was a serious crime in the law God gave to Moses. The Israelites were to worship and obey God. In Leviticus 24:10–16, a man blasphemed the name of God. To the Hebrews, a name wasn’t just a convenient label. It was a symbolic representation of a person’s character. The man in Leviticus who blasphemed God’s name was stoned to death.
Book of Genesis
Genesis can be placed into six major contexts—Pre-creation, Creation (Gen 1-2); The Fall of man (Genesis 3-4); Noah through the Flood (Genesis 5-10); The Tower of Babel with the introduction of languages (Genesis 11:1-9); and The Patriarchal Era (Genesis 11:10-50). In each of these contexts—God, Man, Creation and World order are considered.
The book of Genesis begins by introducing God who existed before the Creation (Genesis 1:1). Genesis does not argue for the existence of God, rather it is written with the fundamental presupposition that before the world was created, God was––ie; “In the beginning God”.
Genesis also states that it was God who created the world (Genesis 1:1). The theological implication of (Genesis 1:1) is that God is self–existing with asiety, that He is eternal, that everything exists because He created it, and that He transcends Creation.
Mark of The Beast
The main passage in the Bible that mentions the “mark of the beast” is Revelation 13:15-18. Other references can be found in Revelation 14:9, 11, 15:2, 16:2, 19:20, and 20:4. This mark acts as a seal for the followers of the Antichrist and false prophet (the spokesperson for the Antichrist).
The false prophet (the first beast) is the one who causes people to take this mark. The mark will be literally placed in the hand or forehead and will not simply be a card someone carries.
Guardian Angels
We have more questions about angels and demons than we have answers. Many times we have to make guesses and assumptions based on a few biblical facts. Angels are essentially spiritual beings without bodies. Hebrews 1:14 calls them ministering spirits. When they appear to people, they normally are seen with bodies. Sometimes they appear as ordinary men (Hebrews 13:2) or incredibly glorious men (Daniel 10:16) and sometimes as fantastic creatures (Isaiah 6:2; Ezekiel 1:4–14).
Biblical Accuracy
Many ancient manuscripts were lost or destroyed during Israel's turbulent history. The Old Testament text was standardized by the Masoretic Jews by the sixth century A.D., and all manuscripts that deviated from the Masoretic Text were evidently eliminated. But the existing Hebrew manuscripts are supplemented by the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Septuagint (a third-century B.C. Greek translation of the Old Testament), the Samaritan Pentateuch, and the Targums (ancient paraphrases of the Old Testament), as well as the Talmud (teachings and commentaries related to the Hebrew Scriptures).
Simon of Cyrene
Simon of Cyrene is mentioned in three of the four Gospels as the man impelled by the Roman soldiers to carry Jesus’ cross out of Jerusalem. His place of origin has led many to wonder if he was of African descent (and therefore black), or if he was simply born there as were many others of Greek, Roman, and Jewish descent.
Did Moses have Two Horns?
Michelangelo’s statue of Moses on display in Vincoli, Rome, in the
Basilica of St. Peter in Chains, depicts Moses with two horns on his head. This horned portrayal of Moses by Michelangelo and by other artists in other works of art and literature stems from a passage in the book of Exodus.
Speaking in Tongues
Speaking in tongues first occurred on the day of Pentecost when the apostles spoke in other languages to share the gospel. According to Paul, speaking in tongues is valuable when interpreted so others can understand, but useless otherwise. There were those with the gift of interpreting tongues so non-speakers could understand. While some argue tongues ceased, scripture does not conclusively say so. If the gift is active today, it must be intelligible, for communicating with others, and interpreted according to Paul's instructions. Millions continue experiencing this gift as evidence it continues.
Forbidden Fruit
The phrase forbidden fruit has come to mean “something desirable but off limits.” The idea of forbidden fruit originated with the biblical account of the first man and woman, Adam and Eve, committing the first sin on earth. Genesis 3 gives the details of mankind’s first temptation. Satan, in the form of a serpent, convinced Eve that she had misunderstood God’s clearly stated command not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 3:4–5).
Year the Bible was Writen
The Old Testament was written between 1400 BC and 400 BC. It is divided into five sections - the Pentateuch (Genesis to Deuteronomy), historical books (Joshua to Esther), poetic books (Job to Song of Solomon), major prophets (Isaiah to Daniel), and minor prophets (Hosea to Malachi). Scholars use internal evidence like writing style, people and places mentioned, as well as external evidence like historical records, to determine the approximate dates of authorship for each book. Dating is also done through cross-referencing between biblical books and historical events described within.

Muladhara is the root centre of physical experience, located at the base of the spine, the sacral plexus. The square represents the earth itself, the four dimensions and the four directions. Four allows for completion, and earth embodies the elements and conditions for human completion on all levels.
Muladhara Chakra is the meeting place of the three main nadis: Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. The downward-pointing triangle indicates the downward movement of energy and the three main nadis.
The seed mantra is Lam, the yellow square represents the earth element. The Muladhara chakra governs the vital breath Apana. An inverted triangle in the centre of the square encloses the unmanifest Kundalini, represented as a snake wrapped in three and a half coils around the svayambhu (self born) linga. Because her mouth faces downward, the flow of energy is downward.
The opening at the entrance of the sushumna is called brahma-dvara, the door of Brahma, which is closed by the coils of the sleeping Kundalini. As soon as one begins working with Muladhara chakra, this dormant energy awakens, raises its head and flows freely into the channel of Sushumna, the central nerve canal that runs along the spine. These two aspects of the kundalini: sleeping and waking, are identified as her “poison” and her “nectar.” The kundalini is poison when she remains asleep in the lower abdomen; she is nectar when she rises up through Sushumna, the medial channel, to reunite with Siva, the Absolute, in the yogin’s cranial vault.
In the pericarp is found the presiding deity Brahma, the lord of creation. His skin is the color of wheat, he wears a yellow dhoti and a green scarf. Brahma is four-faced, four-armed, holding in his upper left hand a lotus flower, the symbol of purity.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).
sanskrit yoga mantras chanting for yoga class
Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.

The Revelation Chapter 7 Working Copy.docx
John witnesses the sealing of God's 144,000 witnesses, and he hears the crying out or shouting of an unnumbered multitude of those who have been saved during the great tribulation.
This is an intermission scene before opening the seventh seal. We have seen six seals opened revealing of the events that would shortly occur. The first 4 reveal what was to occur in the great tribulation during the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in AD70.
The fifth seal reveals the question from those slain as to when the Lord would avenge their death. The sixth seal reveals the answer to them from the One on the throne and of the Lamb which would be the punishment of their persecutors and accomplices. John sees four messengers/angels holding back the four winds of the earth & keeping them from blowing on the earth, the sea or any tree. In this figurative language, these are not heavenly messengers/angels. These represent those who are trying to restrain the word of God everywhere. Their efforts are restrained by the messenger in verse 2, preventing them from holding back the 4 winds, the spread of the gospel of Christ by His messengers/angels. These 4 winds stand on the four corners of the earth, Rome’s worldwide influence to stop its spread. But the gospel will be preached in all the earth. See the study for the Bible passages that support this. John hears the commands given relating to the sealing of the servants of God and the figurative number representing them. John sees a great multitude standing before the throne of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues who are clothed with white robes. All the messengers/angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four beasts fell before the throne and worshipped God. One of the elders asks John what those were that were wearing white robes. John said he knew and the elder identifies them. The chapter ends with his explanation.

THE IMPORTANCE OF AWARENESS AND CONSCIOUSNESS
The subject of spiritualism fundamentally relates to two specific tenets, independent yet closely associated as one—awareness and consciousness.

In his search towards reality or the unchanging fundamental unit of this universe, a scientist started with the external gross world of solid matter which is simple and easy to see, divide, and do experiments with.
This search led him through steps of understanding of this entire world of matter starting from elements, molecules, atoms, protons, neutrons and electrons;
He further understood that it is all packets of energy.
The atoms conglomerate together to form various chemicals; our body is therefore a permutation and combination of various chemicals. (Packets of energy in various configurations) When they join together they form molecules, cells, tissues organs, etc.
These follow certain well defined laws of nature and are controlled by nervous (electrical) and chemical (hormones) mechanisms to bring about movement and action in each and every cell.
Thus annamaya kosha is the physical frame which the grossest of the five Koshas.Recently uploaded (20)

The Priests of the order of Melchizedek?
- 1. Who were the priests of the order of Melchizedek? In biblical Christianity, the Melchizedek priesthood is an office that applies only to Christ. Melchizedek is introduced in Genesis 14:18 and is described as the king of Salem and “priest of God.” Abram (later Abraham) offers Melchizedek a tithe and is blessed. The name Melchizedek is the combination of the Hebrew words for “king” and “righteous,” making Melchizedek a righteous, kingly priest. In Matthew 22 Jesus debates the Pharisees. In verse 44 Jesus cites Psalm 110:1, stating that the Messiah is David’s “lord” in that verse. Tony Mariot The priests of the order of Melchizedek? ! of !1 2
- 2. Melchizedek is mentioned in the same psalm: “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: ‘You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek’” (Psalm 110:4). So the Messiah, David’s lord, was given Melchizedek’s priesthood. Melchizedek is therefore a type of Christ— Melchizedek’s appearance to Abraham was actually a Christophany, an early revelation of Jesus the Christ. Much of chapters 6 and 7 of the book of Hebrews is given to explaining why Jesus’ Melchizedek priesthood is superior to that of Aaron. Hebrews 7:23–24 implies that Jesus holds His priestly office eternally, using a Greek word that suggests something that cannot be passed down or changed. Hebrews 7:26 calls this priest “exalted” and sinless. For all of these reasons, Christ alone can fulfill the office of the Melchizedek priesthood (Hebrews 6:20), at least according to the Bible. Mormonism holds a different, unbiblical view of the priesthood of Melchizedek. According to Mormon doctrine, the office the Melchizedek priesthood stopped until it was re-instituted through the ministry of Joseph Smith (Doctrine and Covenants 107:1–5). Mormonism teaches that men may be ordained into this priesthood, through offices such as Apostle, Patriarch, or Elder. The invoking of Melchizedek and, to a lesser extent, Aaron, is used by Mormonism to arrogate priestly authority for their offices. Tony Mariot The priests of the order of Melchizedek? ! of !2 2
