little, you're way off base.
Being a prophet is simply being someone who has *and uses* the gift of prophecy.
Being a Medical Doctor is being someone who's gone through extensive medical training.
Being a healer is being someone who has *and uses* the gift of healing.

Having the gift doesn't make you one, but having it and using it does.


You're entitled to your opinion, but if he's "way off base" (and me too) then let's have some back up.
You're on.
go.

Before we continue with this discussion, are we talking about what determines a prophet accordign to scripture or according to the redemption gaming rules?  Only one is truly important to the discussion of this thread and Rob has already made his ruling and defended it.  I dont understand why the 'biblical' definition is causing people so many problems here.

Rob gave us a ruling.  St. Patty is a priest and a prophet according to Cactus games.  For further discussion about your beliefs and opinions please start a thread in the open discussion section.

I was just trying to make Mike's job easier since he has a lot of catching up to do.  I didn't only bump my own threads but they were the easiest for me to find. ::)

Yeah I figured that out after I saw the second bump of a thread titled "REG Fix".  Figgured it was for Mike.

The problem is that Calvin would have to be an EC. :P

I think Doug Gray made a calvin card as a joke and posted it on the board soon after St. Patrick was released.  It looked so good and had such a huge SA that many people thought it was real.  I used to have a copy of it but I think it got lost when my laptop crashed.  Does anyone have it?

Do you know what a can of worms making Saint Patrick a Prophet in Redemption would open up? From what I understand, Rob Anderson has tried his very best to make this game one that Christians of all different denominations can enjoy and not feel uncomfortable with. What about the Christians who believe that the signifying gifts (i.e. prophecy, tongues, etc.) were only for the Apostolic Age? The word "prophet" in its general sense is anyone who relays God's message. So every Christian is a prophet in their own right. But not everyone will agree that Saint Patrick was a prophet in the Biblical sense (i.e. Moses, Jeremiah, John, et al) were. Anyway, that's my two cents on the matter. Whether or not Saint Patrick is made a prophet won't affect whether or not I play the game, so whatever is ruled I'll abide by.

Well, the qualifications for a prophet in the REG are what we go by for determining which characters in Redemption are prophets. I believe those qualifications are 1) he has to have had* a vision, and 2) he has to have actually prophesied. I don't know much about Saint Patrick, but apparently he meets both of those.

:scratch: Am I missing something?  St. Patty isn't the first Green Prophet/Priest...Zechariah is a Prophet and a Zerubbabel's Temple priest...why is this so game-changing?

He is?  Ok... I realise that his verse is from the NT, but he isn't mentioned in the New Testament.  Quick question.  Are characters with a Josephus reference considered NT or no?

Testament refers to when they lived. Anyone who lived from NT time on is considered NT. A Rob Anderson card would be NT. The verse is only used as a reference for clarity. David, for instance, is mentioned in the NT in several verses, but he is still OT.

How is he an exception? He lived a couple hundred years before Christ's birth.
