   (In the Order Believed Written)

10 - So Jesus being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek, 11 about this we have much to say, which is hard to explain, since you’ve become dull of hearing. 12 By this time you ought to be teachers! But you need someone to teach you still, the primary, basic and beginning principles of the message of God. You still need milk, and not solid food. 13 Everyone living on milk lacks skill in the message of righteousness and justice [dikaiosuné - righteousness, justice] since they are still but a child. 14 But solid food is for the mature. For those having sharpened their powers of discernment, by the constant practice of distinguishing good from evil {not good} [kakos - bad, evil, wicked, harmful, noisome, injurious; from kakía - inner malice – inwardly foul, rotted, compromised, as in the "rot is already in the wood"]. {Imperfection/entropy.. hamartia - “missing the mark”/sinner. Imperfect is an abyss of potential (Rev.9:2). God is Life, and “is Perfect”. Perfect is the final Word of everything. But there’s the matter of at least some power of choice is included in being able to think and reason. God as Life lives through and experiences all things that occur.. and endowed thinking and reasoning to man and angel anyway.. Engineered it so the drama is one and done.
