The purpose of the High Priest in the Old Testament was to be an intercessor and a representative between God and man. There were strict rules that a Man had to adhere to in order to be forgiven his sin and pray to God. The High Priest made offerings to atone for all of Man's sin. Once a year, he entered the Holiest of Holies to pray and intercede for all the people. In the New Testament, God sent his spirit to dwell with Man and each person can intercede and be forgiven and commune directly with God. This was accomplished through the death and resurrection of Christ.

Where did Melchesidec from the bible come from?
It is not known where he originated. Some consider him to be a theophany of Christ, based on the description in Hebrews. Melchizedek is understood to be from Salem which became to be known as Jerusalem check out Genesis 14 verse 18 Melchizedek was a high priest and the writer of Hebrews makes reference to Jesus and Melchizedek in the New Testament some scholars suggest Melchisedek was a pre-symbol of Jesus nature as the High Priest which links to Hebrews

In what sense is Hebrews critical of the Old Testament and is this an attack on the Old Testament itself?
I don't think Hebrews is critical of the Old Testament and is certainly not an attack on the Old Testament. The letter was written to people who were thinking of going back to the old system of sacrifice when they were beginning to be persecuted for being Christians. Hebrews deals with the struggle involved in leaving one religious system for another ie leaving Judaism for Christ, and as the writer shows, this involved leaving shadows for the substance, ritual for reality, the good for the best. The writer uses Old Testament people and events to show that Jesus, Messiah, is better than Judaism.
Why did Paul refer to Jesus as Christ Jesus?
"Christ" is a title, and it is equally correct for it to come before or after the name of Jesus. The Hebrew writer (if not Paul) and Peter also wrote of "Christ Jesus" (Hebrews 3:1; 1 Peter 5:10 and 14).In the New King James version of the New Testament, "Jesus Christ" appears 176 times, and "Christ Jesus" appears 68 times. It just so happens that 65 of the 68 "reverse" uses are in the prolific writings of Paul.

Is it true or false that the letter to the Hebrews teaches that Jesus' sacrifice supersedes all other sacrifices?
The answer is true. The writer of Hebrews points out that Jesus Christ is superior in every way to anything else. And why should He not be superior, He is the Son of the living God.Additional thoughts:Hebrews 9:10,23-26 compares the animal sacrifices under the Mosaic Law to the far superior sacrifice of the promised Messiah, Jesus(Hebrews 7:22-25). The "Law" was a 'shadow of the good things to come' as it prefigured the ultimate sacrifice of God's son (Hebrews 10:1,2,10) which would make the 'old covenant' (the Mosaic Law with it's sacrifices) obsolete (Hebrews 8:6+13/Hebrews 7:18+19).

How many times 'in Christ' is mentioned in the Bible by Paul?
Paul's writings (the New Testament epistles of Romans through Philemon) contain the words "in Christ" 83 times in the New King James version; 81 times in the King James. Philemon alone (one chapter, 25 verses) includes the words "in Christ" three times.The only Pauline epistles that don't include the phrase are 2 Thessalonians and Titus.(The Epistle to the Hebrews was once commonly attributed to Paul, but its authorship is uncertain. Hebrews doesn't contain that specific word pair at all; perhaps another small bit of evidence that Paul was probably not its writer.)
