Yaakov, I do appreciate your comments from the "Jewish" point of view.
I do recognize that we have some differences in the interpretation of
the meaning of some of the Bible passages. I recognize that the Jews do
have some uniquely true understanding, which we Christians don't. It is
in this spirit that I am asking you about the following.

The house of Isreal came through the linage of Abraham. He is the "father"
of Isreal. Tell me, on what bases did Abraham pay tithes to Melchizedek?
What do you know about Malchizedek? Who was he?

Can you please also explain the meaning of Psalms 110:4?

My question is regarding the possible existance of another priesthood,
besides the Levitical.
