Who is your favorite character in the Bible and why?

Question

I am hoping your answer includes the lessons you learned from it.

Answer 1

Job
That poor man.
I like it because it's a satirical look at the puritanical upholding of religion.

Answer 2

I love Jesus, God, Mary,Abraham, etc.,but I want to be a little different and say the Apostle Paul. He was an example of perfect conviction. Even when he did not realize that Jesus was the Messiah, he persecuted Christians relentlessly. When the Lord brought him over to our side, he was a true champion. He wrote most of the New Testament and he tirelessly fought to bring the message of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles. He could have wallowed in his past, but he kept moving forward. What a Christian! He is the perfect example of what a born-again Christian should be.

Answer 3

The man who was born blind of the 9th. Chapter of John because he did not make a fuss on the greatest day in his life and sensibly described the Christ as a man and a prophet, and he spoke more than any disciple of Christ does in the Gospels.

He made a complete fool of the Chief Priests and the Sadducees and had a great understanding of truth and justice.

Get yourself a copy of The Age Of Reason (www.Xlibris.com) and learn lots more about the secrets of the Bible and the Gospels.

Answer 4

Moses He started out as a baby in a basket. He talked with God and led the Israelites from Egypt through Gods power. He was speech impaired and turned out to be one of the greatest humans that ever was.

Answer 5

Prophet Joesph...... There r some similarities:
I'm my dad favorite child.
I'm the 2nd youngest child
My sisters and brother don't want to hear about my dreams so I always tell 'em to my parents
If my sisters and brother had the chance to sell me out, they would. They don't really care about me.
Over the years, I would definitely forgive 'em (I love the fact that Joesph had a big heart to forgive his brothers after what they've done to him........... it really touched my heart.

Answer 6

I have two:

Mary . . . .

She had to endure such ridicule for being pregnant at that time and not had relations with a man.

She had to watch this boy she grew into a man suffer, die and know it had to be done . . . all the while her heart cried.

She was only 14-16 years of age and gave us the son of God.


Judas . . .

People will flip over this . . .but without Judas my savior couldn't complete his work here on earth.

Without Judas my soul wouldn't have been saved.

Without Judas the earth and all humans would have been condemned.

Because of Judas and his purpose in life, our savior died for our sins and we now have a "chance" rather than no "chance" at all.

God Bless

Answer 7

Archangel Michael.

Answer 8

Jobs wife............

not much is said about her but she lost her 10 kids and her house and her livestock, she even lost the companionship of her husband. She even had to watch her husband suffer the worst kind of ailment. All this going on in her life and no one was even thinking about her all the focus was on her husband.

God was watching her and he blessed her with 10 more kids and a healthy husband and all what was lost she got back.

So sometimes we may be suffering in silence and thinking no one is caring, but God is watching and taking note of our suffering.

Answer 9

King David. He was on to something; something bigger than Judaism. He built a tabernacle to House G-d's Presence when the ark already had a place to dwell. This boggles me.

Answer 10

Judas because he got his thirty bits of silver for very little effort quite enterprising really i am sure if he was born today he would be residing in America living the dream
