I'm compiling an unscientific "Top Ten" list of notable failures/sins in the Bible.
Who and what do you think belongs on the list?

David had sex with a girl that was married and then had her husband killed.
Peter denied Christ three times.
Judas gave Jesus away for money.
Abraham had a baby with Sarah's servant.
Adam and Eve disobeyed God and lied about it.
Cane murdered Able out of Jealousy
Jacob lied to his father and stole his brother's birthright.
Achan stole God's gold and silver.
Moses disobeyed God by striking on a rock instead of calling it.
Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery and then lied about it to their father.
There are probably much more than this, but one thing cool I noticed was that some of them had a good side to it in the end. Joseph saved Egypt, Josuah led Israel, Jacob became one of Jesus' ancestors, Soloman was Bathsheba's son...
God used these sins for his good. And that's something cool.

Adam/eve picked the apple from the tree and all humans had to suffer afterward? Thats all I can think of. I've never read the entire bible.
