Melchizedek or Jesus
We often read the justifications of Christians in deducing the divinity of Christ due to the absence of a statement from Christ that removes all doubt with certainty regarding his divinity.
They make the deductions the only way to extract the divinity of Christ.
On this page, we will take their criteria for those deductions and apply them to a very strange character in the Holy Bible,
a character about whom the Encyclopedia of the Bible (Volume Seven, Page 222) says the following:
quote
( Melchizedek is an obscure biblical figure , and his name means: “King of Righteousness” and also “King of Peace” (Hebrews 7:2). Melchizedek is mentioned several times in the Bible (Gen. 14:18-20, Ps. 110:4, Hebrews 5:10, 6:20, 7:1-17)...)
and on this page we will put the points that Christians rely on to conclude the divinity of Jesus and apply them to Melchizedek to see the extent of the poor people’s confusion in the sea of conclusions
in light of the ongoing discoveries of the manuscripts of the Holy Book, which we find that most Christians do not see, but only mention their discovery without issuing any study on them.
Among the latest discoveries we find (the Qumran manuscripts),
these manuscripts that Christians have always been annoying us with, claiming without knowledge or scrutiny that they completely agree with the Holy Book in both Testaments.
Words of faith that they repeat after hearing them from their fathers, believing them without investigating the matter.
Among the manuscripts that were discovered in Qumran, we focus in our topic here on the manuscript of the Book of Enoch
, and through the book: Qumran manuscripts - the Dead Sea Torah (intertestamental writings) - the apocryphal Torah
It will be necessary to rely on this study as well as other references
1 - The unique birth of Jesus:
Pope Shenouda III says in the book Theology of Christ, page 111.
quote
(And let us not forget that the life of Christ himself was a miracle that was unique to him:
in terms of his birth from a virgin (Isaiah 7:14), a unique matter in the history of the entire world, as it did not happen before or after him .) A. H.
in terms of his birth from a virgin (Isaiah 7:14), a unique matter in the history of the entire world, as it did not happen before or after him .) A. H.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this basis: When his mother Mary had been espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit .
==== > The Unique Birth of Melchizedek:
From the aforementioned book, Part Three - Pages 165 - 167.
Under the title: The Miraculous Birth of Melchizedek,
we read the following:
By comparing the text in Matthew 1/18
with this part of the book under study,
we find complete agreement in all matters, including:
Joseph the carpenter did not consummate the marriage with Mary.
Ner did not have intercourse with Sophonim.
As a result of the similarity of some descriptions of Jesus, which Christians considered strong evidence of his divinity, with the descriptions of the priest Melchizedek, many Christians claimed that Jesus is Melchizedek himself! This claim has no evidence and is contradicted by Paul’s statements in his letters about Melchizedek.
2 - The angel’s good news of the purity of the newborn:
Matthew 1:20
But while he thought on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying , “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit .
The same incident happened with Ner, the father of Melchizedek, as we read in the same previous source, page 165:

Summary of the correspondence:
Jesus: The angel appeared to Joseph and told him that this was not the son of fornication
Melchizedek: The angel appeared to Ner and told him that this was not the son of fornication
3- Fleeing with the newborn child for fear of killing him:
Matthew 2:13
And when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him .

Summary of the match:
Jesus: Herod wanted to kill him
Melchizedek: The people wanted to kill the child.
Matthew 1:20
