Inerrant Lie #20

Another lie from "God's ineffable, inerrant word":

The writer of Hebrews tells on himself a number of times. His description of "Melchisedec, king of Salem" is one such. In chapter 7, verse 3, the anonymous author of Hebrews describes Melchisedec as being "Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God..."

Though this may be somewhat gratuitous, it may nonetheless bear mentioning that, according to the writer of Hebrews: “Our Father which art in heaven" is not Melchisedec's father. He has no father.

Likewise, though even Adam has a mother-- being born of the womb of the Earth-- Melchisedec has no mother, according to Hebrews. He's a motherless bastard.

Considering where “Abraham” (Abram) crossed Melchisedec's path (in company with Sodom, Gomorrah, and the cities of the Salt Valley -Genesis 14), it's perhaps understandable and self- explanatory as to why Melchisedec had no descendants. Sodomy engenders sorcery, not children. The writer of Hebrews’ assertion that Melchisedec had no descendants means Melchisedec couldn't be God– who already had many sons “When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy [Job 38:7];” though Jesus of Nazareth was not yet begotten.

The lie in question comes about when 'Anonymous' says of Melchisedec that, though he had "neither beginning of days, nor end of life," he was nonetheless "made.” While it remains to be seen how many of the things created have an "end of life," absolutely everything "made" has a "beginning of days." Was Melchisedec a figment of his own imagination, or someone else's?
