How do I know these things because my ancestors traded with the Canaanites, and they told the story: Who they were and what happened to Canaan. The story was passed down to me by my father who got it from his grandmother, and she got it from her ancestors. There are people who know this story, but they don’t want it to come out! You want to talk to me, I will talk.

The same goes for your question about working in eternity. I cannot reference any Scriptures that describe this, but my feeling is that we may each have jobs much like we do today.

I’m not sure that I understand your question about Melchizedec. He was a man like any other, but the relationship between Jesus and him is one of type/anti-type between the Old Testament and the New Testament. The significance of the Scriptures about Melchizedec is that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross covers all believers of all ages because Melchizedec pre-dated the Age of the Jews.

I’m not one to believe that we are capable of forgetting anything permanently. What purpose would we serve to learn, but forget? If we wont need our current, water based, brains to remember the events that pass within our lives, after we die, then perhaps our memories are stored within our spirits or soul? Research has even suggested that we recall past experiences from our ancestors through genetics. Is it possible? I hope so, because that would be really cool.
Curse or not, some have been tasked with remembering every detail within their lives. Others seem to pass by blissfully without remembering a thing. You know the kind. They make you mad sometimes righ?, When an experience is repeated or scene is present, we all remember that one time or another. I believe that’s why we’re suppose to press forward, stay busy, and hold captive every thought. Even people suffering from hals haimers remember random events in their lives. Even if they don’t recognise Bobby from Timmy.
Personally, I find the idea of forgetting anything, joyful or painful, in my life to be frightening. “Every” memory and experience I’ve lived is apart of me. Thank God I don’t think about them all at once or I’d need a lobotomy or electronic shock therapy.
So, is it possible to do a good deed without remembering it? I don’t think so. You taught me that there were two sides to pride. Boastful selfish pride and righteous pride. Being proud of ones own deeds doesn’t necessarily lead to unrighteousness. Unless one decides that they’ve done “their fair share” before crossing the finish line. Righteous pride serves to keep us going and to ensure us we’re on the right track. Unless one is just arrogant.

Peace?
