How come the writer of Hebrews, employing Melchizedek as a type of Christ, refers to him as being "..without father, without mother, without genealogy, HAVING NEITHER BEGINNING OF DAYS NOR END OF LIFE, but MADE LIKE THE SON OF GOD, remains a priest continually." Hebrews 7:3 (caps for emphasis). Why would the writer use such a phrase as "having neither beginning of days" in reference to a type of Jesus ? If Jesus was created, wouldn't this be misleading ?
PS I'm familiar with WT theology. No long - winded arguments on John 1:1, etc. I would like you to address this particular passage, please.
Thanks in advance for all replies.
