Who is the craziest biblical character?

Question

....and why do you think so?

Answer 1

How can you send a man to die, just to have his wife...steal the bread from the temple.....slay a 15 foot giant with a pebble.....and all that knowing God is watching? well, at least he was also crazy enough to write the longest book. My vote goes to David. =)

Answer 2

because of the fact they're no longer able to understand metaphorical language. as a result, interpretation of biblical texts by employing the participants of the literal interpretation club does seem a shaggy dog tale.

Answer 3

When I first thought of that, it took a few seconds for me to think of Mary of Magdeline before she had the demon cast out. Also the guy who had Legion in him and couldn't be bound before the demons were cast out.
Because people who act like they are possessed today (even if they really are) are usually diagnosed with a mental illness or put in jail for their actions.
I've also thought about Job, but he had pretty normal reactions to that kind of severe physical mental and physical stress and distress.
I also think the answer about satan was a wise choice because anybody who even Thinks they can go up, let alone succeed, against our Creator is asking for B.I.G. Trouble. Our Creator is so great and wonderful, just and perfect.

Answer 4

There is too many
Here's one that hasn't been mentioned
Nebuchadnezzar
The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar:and he was drivien from men,and did eat grass as oxen,and his body was wet with the dew of heaven,till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers,and his nails like bird claws

Answer 5

Satan, hes really caused alot of grief thruout history.

we must b very weak humans, considering he succeeded w/ the very 1st ppl 2 exist. normally, i would think itd take a bit of convincing, & therefore not succeed w/ the first ppl, but he sure did get lucky this time! (thats how id see it in the movies & story books-usually it takes some convincing 2 get the victim 2 give in, but he sure didnt lose much energy.)

i also think hes crazy cuz he actually had the nerve 2 try & tempt God. of all ppl!!!

Answer 6

Man, we have to narrow it down to one? They're all whack jobs.

I guess I'd have to say Abraham. Anyone that would tie his son down with the full intention of killing him and then burning his body as a sacrifice because "God told him to" is off their rocker.

But then again...Lot had drunken sex with his daughters. That's nuts. How drunk WAS he to not realize that he was screwing his daughter?

Then there's those who thought that donkeys, snakes, and bushes talked to them...

It's so hard to narrow it down!

Answer 7

I would have to say Ezekiel. After his alien abduction experience he started doing all kinds of crazy things, like laying on one side or another for days on end, eating bread with all kinds of weird stuff mixed in, and wearing really strange clothes.

Answer 8

King Ehud because he was so fat when he was stabbed with a sword his belly swallowed the handle. And YES! This is really in the Bible.

Answer 9

i'm guessing i'll get thumbs down....but anyway, there is only a craziest biblical character if you don't believe in miracles

though personally, i think it's pretty crazy we developed from monkeys, yet instead of the original dna getting smarter, we did and put them in cages

Answer 10
