actually, there's very little on Malki Tzedek. There certainly is no line of priests, that would imply descendants- those are not listed. Further more, the Torah lists only one priesthood, the one, everlasting, established at Sinai. Anything beside that is a man made construct.
There are man-made constructs in Judaism, too, so maybe we both have these as a part of our religious understandings; who is to say which are self evident, looking at scripture, and which not? Frankly, I'm puzzled by the fascination with the King of Salem who is mentioned only in passing and without any details. We really don't know anything about him; even the speculation that he's Shem is just that, a speculation. Of his priesthood we know even less, of descendants we know precisely nothing. He's line of priesthood, crickets. The written text is very, very thin for someone of that much importance.For MJ's and Christians, the picture is very different, based, surprisingly perhaps on the Tanach, as well as the writings in the Christian Testament in the letter to the Hebrews.
I respect the view you put forward, but obviously would not be able to agree with it.
Messianic Jews are in the middle where the two sets overlap.
And where did whoever wrote the letter get his information? Not from the Torah, that much is certain.Have you read the letter to the Hebrews? If not, I suggest you might do so
PS I love cricket but you have lost me with the wording of that sentence!
