Hey! Sit by the fire with us

>As far as I know "the seed" can refer to a seed according to the flesh or to a seed according to the spirit.

I partly agree and (mostly) disagree, in the same way that I agree that a drink is both the drinking water itself and the cup you have by which to bear that water. One is born of God by the Spirit (from God to Adam to [...] to you) (this is being born of the Spirit) and we are born in the flesh (from Adam to [...] to you).

It gets into how Christ is "after the order of Melchizedek."

I'm going to make coffee first and switch over to my laptop, and then I'll share what some agree and others disagree on. It's not meant to speak for everyone here. My goal is to agree with the text as best as I can. I don't want to fall for the trap of one passage agreeing and another disagreeing. (A good example would be the arguments for saved by faith and for saved by works. Another example would be free will influence verses predestination.) It will be an effortpost talking about what salvation is and is not, the reasons for there being a Christ, the reasons he died (why not just rule now / then) because this matters in terms of the 'seed'.
