Title: The Bible vs The REG....
Post by: Rawrlolsauce! on June 11, 2010, 07:37:29 PM
If they offer conflicting information, which one is used for game purposes?

I would hope they don't conflict. However, if this was the case I would rule in favor of the Bible since God will issue an errata anyways.  ;)

They did conflict at a tournament today >:c. Despite me agreeing with the bible's information, I still think the REG is our ruling guide.

Also, if God will issue an errata, it hasn't happened yet. Meaning I could have played my awesome play >:c

It depends :)

The Bible says that King David and Cain lived at different times and therefore they couldn't have fought each other.  However, in Redemption, they can and will always be able to.

On the other hand, there are some things which come up where it is discovered that the Bible contains information that the game has not recognized (ie. Moses being a judge).  When that happens, the REG changes to match the Bible.

On the third hand (for those mutants out there), there are some things which may someday be changed in the REG to reflect what is in the Bible (ie. Moses being a musician), but that haven't happened yet.  In those cases the REG must be used to make rulings in tournaments.

This is a really bad example. In this case the PTB decided to broaden the definition of judge to be any leader of Israel prior to the first king. There wasn't any previously unrecognized information from Scripture here--the definition of "judge" was simply broadened.

A good example of unrecognized information was the addition of Aaron as a prophet based on Exodus 7:1.

I don't think the card contradicts the Bible. I just believe redemption hasn't caught up with the Bible yet and never will. The Bible was divinely inspired, whereas redemption is a human creation.

Well if we are going to follow the Bible, then change the ruling on rescuing the NT and */4 or higher lost soul, because God can rescue everyone, and this is ridiculous to the game.  Son of God should be able to redeem these lost souls.

And New Jerusalem should be a Potter's Field.

Agreed though the logic behind it was God uses people.

Yes but if he wanted someone to become a Christian then he could either use other people or himself, if you use Son of God that is having God rescue someone and not using other people.

For instance of something the Bible states but that is not the case in Redemption to my knowledge is that Lot is a judge (not a Judge) since in Genesis 19:1 it says that he was at the city gates which is an old testament euphemism for being a judge of a city...
