Welcome to the Official Redemption® Message Board!
To be from a ‘Royal Family’, they must be from a ‘Family’ and that the family must be ‘Royal’. A strict use of the word ‘family’ includes physical parents, spouses, children, and grandchildren. In other words, people who would be considered royalty if related to a King, Queen, Prince, Princess, Emperor, or Pharaoh.
The problem here is that if Moses is royalty, he would also need to be--by definition--an Eyptian. If Moses is an Egyptian then Miriam would ignore him all the time. Do you really want to be responsible for that kind of family strife just to win a card game?I didn't think so.

physical parents
AHHH *pokes your political correctness* ahem sorry. pet peeve.
Besides Miriam doesn't ignore Egyptians; Jochebed does.
Which brings up the question can a hero ignore another hero?
If Moses is an Egyptian then Miriam Jochabed--his own mother--would ignore him all the time. Do you really want to be responsible for that kind of family strife just to win a card game?
But yea, as to the point at hand; if someone is adopted into a family, they become an equal part of that family.
If you have to have egyptian blood to be egyptian, why wouldn't you have to have royal blood to be royal?
Esther, Bathsheba (and others) didn't have royal blood, but they're listed as royalty in the REG.
I disagree... if one is adopted, the intention is that you are treated as part of family.~Marti
I am fairly sure that scholars could more or less deduce that should Moses have stayed in Egypt and the killer of the slave driver never occured, he would have been Pharoah.
That argument doesn't hold up because Saul is considered Royalty.
wow, moses was alot of things...if he was nt, angel, and female as well, by golly, he'd be the best redemption hero evar.

Mr. Gawyn, have you ever read Redemption NJ?
