Me Now:

Hands clapping.  Yes, yes, yes.  :-)

And Jesus Christ was begotten.  That is what made Jesus a man.  If
Melchizedek was not "begotten" i.e.  if He really had "no father, no
mother", as opposed to the stated context of Hebrews 7 that refers in
fact to the lineage of the priesthood, then he wasn't a Man.  But the
Bible says that in fact he was a "man".  Therefore, begotten.  Therefore
not a "preincarnate Christ."  A term by the way, that is actually a
contradiction of itself.
