["Bryant J. Williams III" <bjwvmw AT com-pair.net>]

Dear James, Peter,

Jesus is NOT the High Priest of the Levitical priesthood. He is clearly stated
that he is clearly stated in Hebrews 5:1-10 that His High Priesthood is from
that of Melchizedek (Hebrews 5:10, quoting Psalm 110:4 and expanding on 
Hebrews
5:6) which is clearly to be better/superior to that the High Priesthood of
Aaron.

En Xristwi,

Rev. Bryant J. Williams III
