? Has anyone claimed that he was a Levite or Kohein?

No they have not, which is exactly the point. God will choose whomever He will to be a priest to Him. Since Melchizanek preceeded all your Levites and Kohanim, his order of the priesthood takes precedence, and as Christians we believe that Christ is our great high priest after the order of Melchizadek. Christ's spirit, which is the spirit of God, takes precedence over his earthly birth, whatever his line of descent is.

God will choose whomever He will to be a priest to Him.

Yes. And for Israel he chose the Kohenim.

Since Melchizanek preceeded all your Levites and Kohanim, his order of the priesthood takes precedence

Since the Sinaitic Covenant preceded your "new covenant", it takes precedence.

and as Christians we believe that Christ is our great high priest after the order of Melchizadek.

That's fine, believe whatever you want. If your mother is Jewish, though, it would trouble me if you believed that Jesus is God.

Christ's spirit, which is the spirit of God, takes precedence over his earthly birth, whatever his line of descent is.

So the Hebrew scriptures can just be tossed out the window?
