    Melchizedek, we hardly knew ye

    just wanted to share a different perspective on Melchizedek .... which can be found at a web site Hidden Meanings ...

    This quote is suppose to come from the Tao Te Ching: "A man is born gentle and weak. At his death he is hard and stiff. Green plants are tender and filled with sap. At their death they are withered and dry. Therefore the stiff and unbending is the disciple of death. The gentle and yielding is...
