Who is your favorite OT figure?

[Spiderman]

I like king Solomon...he wrote material that would have been pornographic at that time.

And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.

So he was the wisest man to ever live says Scripture yet he disobeyed God

Anyway, I wonder how many kids he had with 700 wives....did he sleep with them all? And why the 300 concubines. As if 700 sexual partners isn't enough.

I like Queen Esther more. She saved a nation. I admire that she was female. There aren't enough women heros in Scripture

Whose your favorite OT figure and why?

 

[Spiderman]

I don't like OT figures much. David was a man after God's own heart and yet he had his right hand man killed so he could get away with screwing his wife.

King David was a vile creature who committed genocide.

I still love you though Davy

 

[Deidre]

Job... all day long. He's a total bad a**, Bible style.

 

[Shiranui117]

I kinda like Joseph. His mom always liked him best, he was a cheeky *******, he had dreams from God about how much better than his brothers he was. Gets betrayed by his brothers and sold into slavery in Egypt, where he calls people out on their crap, gets put in jail for it, decides to grow a tree in his prison cell because screw you that's why, gets made Pharaoh's right-hand man, does disaster prevention and relief efforts that put Bush and Obama to even bigger shame than they already are, trolls the everliving crap out of his brothers and then just says "Nah homies it's all good, bring the whole fam and let's all just chill here in Egypt".

If anyone knows a snarkier troll in the Bible, let me know.

 

[Lyndon]

Daniel

 

[Kemosloby]

Who doesn't want a ride in a fishes belly? I'll have to say Jonah.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Definitely Lucifer. Antagonists are always interesting. Runner-ups are Michael and Gabriel. So little on all of them though.

 

[Tumah]

decides to grow a tree in his prison cell

Say what now?

 

[Tumah]

Definitely Lucifer

404

In all my years, it never occurred to me to think of a favorite. I don't really have one.

 

[Kuzcotopia]

Nebuchadnezzar.

He has the absolute best name. I didn't even know how to spell it, but my autocorrect made it happen.

You KNOW your cool when your five syllable, 24 letter name is stored in your phone's autocorrect.

Plus he's gnarly. Drug out the last king of Judeah by a hook in his nose. I'd name drop the last king of Judeah, but he wasn't in the autocorrect database. . .

I like the guy who wrote this ─

Ecclesiastes 3 -
18 I said in my heart with regard to the sons of men that God is testing them to show them that they are but beasts. 19 For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts; for all is vanity. 20 All go to one place; all are from the dust, and all turn to dust again.​

 

[Rival]

Josiah.

 

[Enoch07]

My favorite OT figure. Well I can't lie, because it is who I got my namesake from here on RF. "And Enoch walked with God: and he was no longer; for God took him".

Enoch comes from Adam's lineage and lived in the time before the great flood and warned people of the dangers of breeding with fallen angels and producing hybrids called Nephilim.

Not to be confused with the Enoch from Cain's lineage.

 

[Dawnofhope]

Isaiah is a good read...

 

[DavidFirth]

I like Job. God said he was a righteous man and I sympathize with him in his plight. Great, great story.

 

[Shiranui117]

Say what now?

It's been a while since I read that part of the Bible and I probably got that from the Disney movie

Don't judge me D:

 

[pearl]

I like Queen Esther more. She saved a nation. I admire that she was female. There aren't enough women heros in Scripture

I seems Matthew would agree as he includes four women in his genealogy of Jesus departing from the usual formula A was the father of B.
As for the OT I like that blustery Amos.

 

[Spiderman]

Say what now?

Do you have a favorite?

 

[YmirGF]

God. He is simply so.... old testementish
