Answer 1

Judean King Manasseh, who was the son and successor of King Hezekiah. (2Ki 20:21; 2Ch 32:33) He was 12 years old when he ascended the throne as the 14th king of Judah after David and ruled for 55 years (716-662 B.C.E.) in Jerusalem. (2Ki 21:1) He did what was bad in Jehovah’s eyes, rebuilding the high places his father had destroyed, setting up altars to Baal, worshiping “all the army of the heavens,” and building false religious altars in two temple courtyards. He made his sons pass through the fire, practiced magic, employed divination, and promoted spiritistic practices. Manasseh also put the graven image of the sacred pole he had made into the house of Jehovah. He seduced Judah and Jerusalem “to do worse than the nations that Jehovah had annihilated from before the sons of Israel.” (2Ki 21:2-9; 2Ch 33:2-9) Though Jehovah sent prophets, these were not heeded. Manasseh was also guilty of shedding innocent blood in great quantity (2Ki 21:10-16), which, according to the literature of the Jewish rabbis, included that of Isaiah, who they say was sawed apart at Manasseh’s command.

While in captivity, Manasseh repented, humbled himself, and prayed to Jehovah. God heard his request for favor and restored him to the kingship in Jerusalem. (2Ch 33:12, 13)

Answer 2

Adam. For as sin came into the world through him, God forgave him by the grace of God through Jesus's sacrifice.

For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:17)

Answer 3

It's hard to quantify that.

Jesus forgave on the cross, something that shows true spirit of forgiveness (Luke 23:34)

Jonah was certainly one of the most defiant people towards God that we see God continually reaching out with love. (Entire book of Jonah)

Paul persecuted Christians.

If I had to pick my "top 3" signs of forgiveness, I guess that would be the list.
Matt

Answer 4

Have to go with the first answer. The God described in the Bible often acts like an immoral monster.

Answer 5

God's own son, Jesus Christ. Although Jesus lived a sinless life on earth, He suffered a painful death on the cross, to pay the blood atonement price for our sins. Since God cannot allow sin in His presence, Jesus took our sins and made them His own, so that we might be reconciled once again with God, our Father.

Answer 6

Hello

I would take a guess at King David.

He lusted after the wife of a soldier he espied from his balcony and eventually fell for her. He sent her soldier husband off on a mission that was impossible to return from alive. There was a sin of pride on David's part in his resolution to take a census of the people. David was always forgiven but paid a heavy price for his trangressions.

Answer 7

No one is a bigger sinner than the other. Only we put level and degrees on sin. To God there is no little or big. "All have sinned and fall short..."

Answer 8

David killed Uriah to marry Uriah's wife Bathsheba., but I suppose you're allowed to have your own preference. It's better that way, I think. Wouldn't if be judging another anyway, not knowing all the fact is every case?

Answer 9

My opinion is King David. Read Chronicles and Kings.

He was a murdering, adulterer that condemned himself when Nathan the prophet came to him. But there are plenty of others that required just as much forgiveness.

Answer 10

Me. Because I love him much, and Jesus said:
Luke 7:47
Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little."

I love God more than anybody. And if there is someone who loves him more, then I am a jealous person.
