Wall of Protection - L - AP - 1 Kings 9:15 - Place this site in your territory.  No character in your territory may be brought into battle by an opponent.

Okay... I am totally confused with this card.  

1. Is this ultra-rare card just for prevent things like Christian Suing Another and King Rehoboam?

When we play Redemption weekly, we choose whether we defend the lost soul that is in our territory.  That is, we always choose whether we accept a battle challenge, and usually we won't accept a battle challenge if we have no lost soul that is accessible.

2. That is, this card doesn't prevent lost soul access because battle challenges aren't necessary to accept for defense, right?

Two others -
Name of the Lord, The - AW - Proverbs 18:10 - Set this fortress aside.  If you have initiative, you may interrupt the battle and place your Hero on this fortress.  Hero is protected from effect.   Each time you rescue a Lost Soul, return one Hero to your territory.  This fortress is protected from discard.

3. Does Name of the Lord take a hero discarded by a dominant?  
4. Does a hero discarded by a dominant ever have initiative?  
5. I think Name of the Lord will prevent removal from the game in battle and prevent capture which CoA won't.  Is this correct? 
6. I think the Name of the Lord also works for any hero, not just Angels.  Is this correct? 
7. I also think that the only card in the game that can affect Name of the Lord is a territory card, unlike CoA.  Is this correct?

Trap of the Devil - PS - II Timothy 2:25-26 - If the total strength of good cards in battle is 14/* or greater, special abilities on your evil cards cannot be prevented by good cards.

8. Does Trap of the Devil mean that a lone hero or banded heros 14 strength or greater will prevent all good negates?  
9. Can the evil special abilities be interrupted with Trap of the Devil?
10. Does this mean that if weapon enhancement that makes an EC at least */14 may force Trap of the Devil to activate?

wall of protection primarily stops your opponent from banding to your heroes.

the name of the lord allows you to put a hero in it anytime you have initiative...either by numbers, removal from battle, etc.

the trap of the devil counts the total strength of all good cards in battle...all heroes, enhancements, etc. it then says your evil special abilities cant be prevented by good cards...usually by a fight-by-the-numbers hero like moses, strong angel, etc. the evil abilities can still be interrupted, however.

You mean cards like the crimson one where you choose the hero that attacks you wouldn't work with Wall of Protection?  And the same with choosing the EC who fights you?

But enhancements like AW's Praise Him Moon where you take an Opponent's hero from their hands would still work, right?  I mean, their hand isn't really their territory.

Correct on both counts.  One's hand is not part of their territory.

Grammar fixed.

Haha, glad nobody's ever tried to pull that stunt in an academic setting, or I would surely have been incensed to violence.

I know my grammar, and I know what indoctrination looks like. I also know how to distinguish between the two.
