Dominick, I'm glad that all of us are getting down to some really serious and sincere discussions without condemning and name-calling. Only in this way can real learning occur. As a lover of learning myself and an ex-high school teacher, I can honestly say that in itself learning is difficult enough without someone belittling and insulting a sincere student, calling him "stupid," etc.

Believe it or not, Melchizedek was an illustrious Hindu (Kashi) prince: "Melik-Sadaksina." He was a gifted leader, magician, and spiritual giant. In Kashmiri and Sanskrit, "Sadak" = a person with magical supernatural powers." A certain Zadok (Zadak?) was also a supernaturally endowed priest who annointed Solomon.
