Author Topic: Saul/Paul not a priest?!?! (Read 5914 times)

I was reading another topic and I saw someone say Saul?Paul is not a priest. Isn't Saul/Paul a priest? He used to be a sadducee. All that happened is that he got converted, it doesn't change his status.

He is definitely not a priest. Paul is a prophet though. Maybe that is what you were thinking?

Kyp Henderson · « **Reply #2 on:** August 25, 2009, 11:14:54 PM »

I know he is a prophet but why isn't he a priest? Are Pharisses (sc) not considered priests?

browarod · « **Reply #3 on:** August 25, 2009, 11:22:50 PM »

Pharisees and Sadducees are not on the the list of Priests in the REG, so it seems they're not.

That makes no sense?!?! Just because they were evil doesn't mean they weren't priests! They were the false priests of the bible. I think that needs to be changed, they still did all the offerings and were considered priests in their day.

There are evil priests in Redemption, too, just not the generic Pharisees and Sadducees. Have a look:

Quote from: REG

(Evil): Abihu, Amaziah, the Ungodly Priest, False Priests, High Priest Ananias, High Priest Annas, High Priest Caiaphas, Hophni, son of Eli, Nadab, Pagan Priest, Pashhur the Priest, Philistine Priests, Phinehas, son of Eli, Potiphera, Priest of On, Unfaithful Priests, and Urijah the High Priest

The high priest Pharisees and Sadducees are evil priests, but the generic ones are not.

The Pharisees and Sadducees were two sects of ancient Judaism. Some served as priests, but the priesthood was determined by bloodline so they were not ALL priests.

It's like not all christians are Pastors.

Each church has one maybe two pastors (not counting youth pastors or anything like that). Each congregation is usually at least a two digit number and a lot are upwards of 50 somethimes 100 people. I was say a large minority of Christians are pastors. And that makes it sound like its a bad thing, its not.

For the most part, Priests in Redemption include Melchizedek and the Aaronic line of Levitical priests. Needless to say, that doesn't apply from the time of Christ onward, but the point is that not all Pharisees/Sadducees were of the Aaronic priesthood.

Hedgehogman · « **Reply #11 on:** August 26, 2009, 09:51:31 AM »

Paul was a Pharisee, not a Sadducee.

That doesn't mean they weren't priests, I understand how they temple guards and Alexander are not priests but They still were considered priests in their day. Just because they weren't from the line of Aaron doesn't mean they were not priests. The Philistine Priests did not descend from the line of Aaron and they are still considered priests. They were just priests of a different religion. The Pharisees and Sadducces had their own concept of God, so they kinda have a different religion. So they are priests in their own way.
P.S. So Saul Paul is a priest because wasn't he a high priest?

NWJosh · « **Reply #15 on:** August 26, 2009, 12:40:24 PM »

Paul/Saul was not a high priest, in fact he was not even a priest. Pharisees were the religious teachers of the day but that does not make them priests, although a few were. It would be like Sunday School teachers. Pastors can teach sunday school, but that does not mean all sunday school teachers are pastors. Paul/Saul was of the line of Benjamin I believe so that automatically rules out his lineage and I think he himself says he was not a priest some where in his letters but please don't quote me on that as I am sick right now and not completely sure that part of my memory is correct.

Kyp Henderson · « **Reply #16 on:** August 26, 2009, 12:44:22 PM »

So he is classified as a teacher of the Law?

Cameron the Conqueror · « **Reply #17 on:** August 26, 2009, 12:45:01 PM »

I would say yes, but there isn't a "teacher" classification in Redemption.

Kyp Henderson · « **Reply #18 on:** August 26, 2009, 12:47:42 PM »

Well that should be a class in the next set

Arch Angel · « **Reply #19 on:** August 26, 2009, 01:16:14 PM »

I think "teacher" would be too broad of an identifier (even worse than "musician"

)

There would have to be a Math Teacher card, with the identifier [Your].
