Which Bible Character do you like the most and why ?

I love Jesus Christ although I also love other characters. However, I cannot remember all their stories in the bible. My father use to tell bible stories when we were young which I cannot even repeat to my children. Gone are those days when we really flip pages of the bible.

I'm a big fan of Noah..saving all those animals. No-one would bother doing that now would they?

There are a lot of great characters in the bible. A lot of them are unique, and are faithful to God in their own sense... they too have been chosen, of course by God to be his example that we can all follow. I think I am closing in on Joseph the Interpreter- he was sold by his brothers and he overcame and even used his talent to Glorify God. Also, I like Jacob's Faith in God as well that no matter how hard it became for him, no matter how many people (he loves) he lost, and even the things he worked so hard for was taken away from him... he still stuck up to God and still thinks God will redeem him.

Pick any of the 3 Hebrew boys that where thrown into the furnace and you have who I like in the Bible. Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego had so much faith in the God that they believed in that the didn't mind being thrown into the furnace by the king. Me myself would have so much fear that I probably would have been like Peter and said "oh I don't know him that well." Paraphrasing of course. But to have that much trust is a wonderful thing.

Jesus IS our link to the holy ancestry; our 'ticket-in,' you could call him. But the one I like the most is probably Jabez, an Old Testament man in the line of Abraham, who has a book written about his two lines in the Bible---"The Prayer of Jabez." He prayed that God would expand his borders, and God made him rich.

i Like Moses... with his power to part the red sea... and fight agianst the ancient Pharaoh armies.. etc.. kinda exciting and nice..

I would not want to be anyone in the bible. I believe alot of the old testament is not true,just made up stories or real stories blow out of porportion. I do believe most of the New Testament is true. So why would I want to be someone who maybe never existed? That is how I look at this.

While there is no doubt in my mind that Jesus is the most important individual in the bible, I have to say that my favorite person in the bible is Virgin Mary. The reason that I feel that way is because she was a mother just like I am. However, she knew from the beginning that she was going to eventually lose her son and yet she was still selfless enough to have loved her son through everything that he did in his life.

Yes, I agree that Jesus is liked the most. If you want a character not of Jesus' power, then I'd say mine is a tie between Moses and Sampson. Both of them stood up to the powers that be. It was Moses' faith and Sampson's God-given strength that made them awesome.

Jesus would be first, naturally. Because of who He is and what He has done for the human race. But I like several others too. Job has to be one of my favorite normal human character in the Bible. He was put through so much, the deaths of his children and livestock, being robbed, getting sick, his friends blaming him for sinning... And through it all, he remained faithful to God and never once uttered a curse word at God. He never blamed God for what happened. Today when something goes wrong we tend to blame certain circumstances, and we tend to blame God. We either say, God if you really cared this wouldn't have happened to me! Or we say, if God truly existed this wouldn't have happened! Or even this: God is evil so this is the reason this happened to me! We may even blame others for our misfortunes. But Job didn't do that. He didn't blame anyone or anything, but instead blessed God for what he had been given, even though it was short term. In the end, God rewarded him many times over. Whenever I am struggling with something I think back to Job and his faith. It's hard to be like him because the human side wants something to blame. And I suppose that we believers can blame someone, namely Satan, for the cause of it all. But I suppose we can also blame our weaknesses too. I can see that both Satan and our weaknesses unfortunately go hand in hand. There are other people from the Bible I like too. Ruth, Deborah, Esther, Mary Magdalene, John, Simon Peter, Stephen, Joseph (Although I do admit that even I got annoyed when he kept talking about his dreams, still he was faithful to God and did love his brother. Samson was another one. When I was a child I fantasized about being that physically strong as he was. Moses for putting up with a bunch of complaining people.. I can't fault the Hebrews for complaining to Moses, but geeze, it would have gotten on my nerves too. The man had more patience than most of us today, and a lot of faith. Plus, I have something in common with Moses. He had trouble speaking and was known to stutter. There are so many I like. To name them all... I think my post would become something akin to a novella.

I like the man who became King of Israel at the age of Eight years- Josiah. He encouraged the exclusive worship of Yahweh and outlawed all other forms of worship, hence restoring the true worship of God. He also renovated the temple of God and executed Baal prophets. And so many good things to bring true worship into order.

No love for Samson? He's the strongest man in the bible and he just loves to smash! His only weakness are girls and that resulted in his downfall. Still in the end, he prayed to god for one more chance and he did what he does best -- SMASH!

i didn't read bible yet.and only know jesus.

I enjoyed reading your post and thinking about how to answer. I would really have to choose the true God, Jehovah and then, his only-begotten son, Jesus I wanted to recommend to you a web site, where you can watch FREE videos and read Bible-based articles in your own language, the language of your heart. I think you will find many interesting things on this site, since you are obviously a Bible reader.

For me of course, no one else but Jesus Christ, He is the Savior! The Word of God speaks about Him from beginning till end. About other Bible Characters, I would also like is the life of Paul (Saul before)who was brave and bold on his account. I really do like the way he rebukes and challenges other Apostles. Another one I like is John, who was the last disciple who lived. The one that shared the last book of the Bible which is the Revelation that talks about the Coming of Christ and the end of this world and how God will gather His own and will make a new heaven and new earth.

i like Moses and mission to free people against slavery. even in this modern times there still exist slavery.of course i agree with you Jesus is also the best character the rest are like recipes and the main ingredients is Jesus. without him then the world would felt incomplete. he s the perfect messenger by God as we already know he sacrifice his life in order to save sinful people and left with many great teachings.

For me Abraham because he wants to change his life even if he is rich so good manner it is.

Of course we all love Jesus, pretty much half the Bible is bout him right? Even though I'm Christian, I rarely read the Bible. Besides Jesus, I reckon my favorite Bible character would be Moses. There was actually an animated film about him and I use to watch the film all the time when I was a kid. His journey was so amazing and so interesting. How he betrayed his Egyptian brother, followed God's words and saved God's people from the Egyptian slavery. It was such an inspiring story. Such an amazing man, one man was able to save hundreds of people and bring them back the land they rightfully own. It offers a strong message.
