Melchizedek Not a Messiah
I do agree that Melchizedek was not a messiah, but the rest of your post is very complex for something so simple. It is suited to a sermon, not a debate.
Melchizedek was a king who was also a high priest.
The song (Psalm 110) is about King David and shows that he was a king and considered a high priest. I feel the author of the book of Hebrews was trying to impress upon the Jewish audience that Jesus was a high priest in the order of Melchizedek, meaning he was also a king; not just a high priest as the Levites were (not in the order of Aaron).

Re: Clarification of Meaning - Term: 'Christ'
I knew that christos meant annointed and the Hebrew word for annointed, but never looked at how the LXX and the Vulgate had used it. I've only found links to the LXX and vulgate in the last year and have looked at a few words and how they are used in the other translations, but hadn't looked at the word Christ. I guess I never thought about it since I understood it meant annointed.
So technically speaking there has been more than one Christ.
It is scary how much we are at the mercy of our translations.
