I have edited this thread so the discussion can still continue while taking out the more controversial wording and tone while attempting to maintain the poster's main thought.

I have not locked it because...
1) I believe the community can discuss & share their points of view peacefully.
2) We are all human and passionately believe in our ideals...sometimes that is not easily conveyed in text.
3) We are all human and struggle with the flesh, I try to air on the side of grace in these instances.
4) Some good can still come from this thread.

Finally, I would like to leave you with these words as this thread moves forward: "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." -- Jesus (from John 13:34-35)

Thanks for the kind words.  I've been lurking for a long time, but it is nice for my life to start settling down again.  The last year and a half has been one of the hardest times of my life.

Based on our research we have not found sufficient evidence to call Moses or Samuel a priest.

With the number of different translations available for the Bible we have to look to the original language to determine meaning. The passage quoted from Psalm 99:6 that is sometimes translated in english as "priest" does not mean priest in the original hebrew. It is also translated as "chiefs" or "principal ministers".

The REG definition of who qualifies as a priest currently says:
Quote
In Redemption, a priest is a character that was referred to as a priest in the Bible or in Church tradition.

While some church tradition does consider Samuel or Moses or both as priests, it is not something that is widely agreed upon. Our general practice is not to adopt standards that are not accepted by the vast majority of church traditions since we desire our game to be accessible to the widest audience possible.

Infinite downvotes. Legaleese defeats common sense once again, but at least this is a fairly insignificant loss.

I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!
