They both thought, and knew, GOD was the only Supreme Being, the Creator of the heaven and the earth. They both kept their eyes on GOD MOST HIGH, instead on the worldly things around them. ;)

They both seem to believe that that there is a Supreme Being Who is God Most High. They also believe in One God Who is the Creator of everything i.e. heaven and earth. In other words they don't see or perceive of any other god but God Most High Who is above everything

Both recognize that God MOs High is the one and only God. They go against the religions of their day by not validating the existence of other gods. Their worship is purely monotheistic.

Both have an understanding that God Most High is the Creator of the universe and the sustainer of life. Both recognize and have sworn an oath to this God.

Having read the responses from the former group, I have little to add, but it does seem that both Abraham and Melchizedek recognize that this God is above all the other gods worshiped by people in the ancient world. To the ancient world, this title would probably indicate a God who is more powerful than all others and who commands the respect and allegiance of all beings.

He is the Eternal God, the highest, the strongest, the most powerful God.

He is the creator of heaven and earth.

He is the Supreme God of Abraham and Melchizedek, God Most High of the Hebrew people :o

The term El-Elyon awe's me. He is beyond description. A Jewish Pslam states that if the earth were a pen and all the oceans an ink well, we could not write enough to praise or describe God.

Because He is Supreme Most High, He is worthy of our praise and obedience. He is our Creator-Father and most incredible, cares for our souls.

Thank you for sharing the Jewish Psalm, it is a beautiful description of God, the God Jesus reconciled us to.

In a time where most were of Polytheistic religions, the Lord brings together two Christians, Melchizedek and Abram. Both men recognize God as the Most High and the Creator of all. God is the owner and Sovereign Lord over all in heaven and on earth because He made all things.

Melchizedek brought bread and wine as a show of hospitality as we as Christians should show hospitality to our brothers and sisters in Christ. I really liked the visual of this being 2 Christians sharing communion, Jesus blood and His body. The first communion but I don't this it's Biblical. Abram gave him tithe; such as we are called to do in church.

Melchizedek and Abram were Christians encouraging each other and giving praise to God the Most High. Melchizedek gives thanks to God for delivering Abram's enemies into his hand, because they both recognized that you can

They both seemed to believe that there is only one god worthy of worship, as he is above all the others, because he made the heavens, the earth, and all that is therein. We don't know if they believed that there were other gods in existence, but they do seem to believe that only the Most High God is worth paying any attention to.

Both Abraham and Melchizedek had a mutual understanding that the God Most High(El Elyon) was creator of heaven and earth. That He was the highest of all god's, kings, and lord's known and unknown. There was no one or nothing above the God Most High(El Elyon). I also think that Melchizedek's coming on the scene when he did was a way for God to confirm His presence to Abraham. To let Him know that He exist in the spirit realm and in the flesh and He is everywhere. In heaven and on earth. That He will be with you no matter what you may be facing. That He will fight your battles and deliver you from your enemies, that He will supply your needs, and that He will make Himself known to you. Hallelujah!!

I feel that Both Abram and Melchizedek believed that there God was the creator of the entire universe. Also that he is to be rightfully praised and thanked for his blessings. Also that God is the Lord of all and thanks for his blessings he gave them by giving back to the Lord Most High by serving him and Giving to the lord what was his by tithing and praising him.

Q1. (Genesis 14:19, 20, 22) What did Abraham and Melchizedek seem to believe in common about God Most High?

Melchizadek blessed Abraham by praying: Blessed, favored with blessings, made blissful, joyful be Abram, by God Most High, Possessor and Maker of Heaven and earth.....and blessed, praised and glorified be God Most High, Who has given your foes into your hand! (amplified)

Abram had sworn to God that he would not take any of the spoils from the capture. (Implied, that he also believed God had given his foes into his hand) He called Him Lord, Most High God, Possessor and Maker of heaven and earth

So they agreed: He is God Most High, Sovereign over the affairs of men, the only True God, Who is to be praised and glorified, Who is Creator and possessor of Heaven and earth, Who blesses, gives favor (as in the victory over the enemy) and Who is the source of joy. To say what they did, it's also implied that God is a personal God whom they knew and had communicated with and whom they respected and obeyed.
