Hebrews 6:20

Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
18

That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

19

Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

20

Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Completed Atonement

The verse describes Jesus' entry as a "forerunner" and his appointment as a "high priest for ever," which could be interpreted as a completed action of establishing his priestly role, rather than an ongoing ministry.

Christ as High Priest

The verse states Jesus is "made a high priest," but it does not explicitly detail the functions of a high priest such as mediating, interceding, or offering sacrifices, nor does it directly state how this priesthood fulfills or transcends the Levitical one.
