APOSTLE JOHN REASONS : 1. He was the most humble, quite and calm, never appeared in controverial issues 2. closest to Jesus, this reflected when Jesus On the cross said, Son behold thy mother 3. His closeness to Jesus, is revealed in the level of revelation of Christ, and how he functioned. 4. He gives the simplest explanation of who Christ is, what he came to do, who a Christian is and our place in Christ. (Read John, 1, 2, 3 John ) 5. The only Apostle That didn't die of persecution. He was boiled in hot oil, yet he came out of the oil alive, with no burns, they had to banish him, revealing the power of God that could be put to use. 6. The most important is his fellowship with the Holy spirit I would love to be like St John. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Book of Deuteronomy was one of those books written by Moses. if Moses could write the verses below about himself, then he is my favourite character in the bible 34:7 'And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated' 34:8 And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended. 34:9 And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses. 34:10 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face, |

Mother so pure, chaste etc. No woman can endure her sufferings. -First and only woman to conceive without having sex. -Carrying a baby in her womb for nine month. - Her son was killed on the cross of calvary and handed over to her. -Crying as her son was being wounded and humiliated. -Not doubting Angel Gabriel during visitation and being a Virgin till the rest of her life. -Understanding her son in the Wedding of canann.

Jesus Christ of Nazareth remains my favorite bible character because there was no selfishness in Him. He came for others to be saved, He had no sin in Him, He is love Himself, an embodiment of power, in-fact He is the role model |

Besides Jesus, the stories that touch are Mary's, David's, Ruth's, Hannah's. Whatever God has destined for u will become yours in spite of any obstacle or challenge u face. He whom God blesses remains blessed. My humble submission |

DAVID, HE WAS A HUMBLE MAN, HE IS ONE OF THE BIBLE WRITTERS, HE WROTE EVERY THING ABOUT HIMSELF EVEN HIS WRONGDOINGS HE DID NOT LEAVE OUT.

Just wondering d standard Gods going to use to judge us all at d end, considering d level at which some of these bible characters operated. Though der stories is for our admonition. I wish to av d ,spirit of worship of Abel,meekness of Moses, power of Elijah in Elisha, wealth n wisdom of Solomon, prowess of David, loyalty of John, passion of Paul, and d selflessness of Stephen........... |

macof: 1) We are talking about biblical figures not fictional characters. 2) She carried our Lord saviour Jesus christ in her womb. Even Elizabeth testified, She ain't worthy to receive the mother of our Lord.- Luke 1:43 3) Who else watched her son die? Her one and only son. By the way, I didn't say she is the only one. |

Re: Who Is Your Favorite Bible Character And Why? by Beetwaise(m): 5:48pm On Oct 27, 2014 |
I would opine that Apostle Paul is my favourite bible character. Here are my reasons: 1. He made supreme groundbreaking discoveries which have thrown more light to living a pragmatic christian life. 2. He advised young men & women on how/why they should live their youthful days to the glory of God; esp his words to timothy & titus. 3. He spread the gospel fearlessly to several parts of the globe without considering if his mortal body perishes.... a wonderful evangelical campaign I would say. 4. Took evangelism to a different dimension, trailblazing the path for the new age christians. These are just a few,I still doff my hat for Apostle Paul. ........ I am Beetwaise...still classic. |
