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.

SMP. Guy, you are so ignorant. Siddhārtha
Gautama (Gautama Buddha) lived and died before Christ, so how could Christ have been his mentor? Maybe, he was Christ's mentor.

As for your assertion that Christ was at age 12 challenging Drs and Profs, any historical document (aside the bible) to back that up? None.

Thank you for educating him. The ignorance on this thread is serious!

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,

God tempted those he love most undecided

point of correction folks, God is not a tempter, he does not tempt neither can hr be tempted, he only test those he love, just like gold is bend refined in fire, so he also refine you by testing u, so u can come out looking glittering just like gold and Paul said we should test ourselves continually.... thanks

Tikitaka:


Read the story again and you will discover that God did not tempt Job, Satan did. God allowed Job to tempted but did not Himself tempt Job. There is a difference between allowing something to happen and doing that same thing. Infact God does not tempt people. James 1:13-15

I think you should read my post again - I never said God tempted him...I said why did God allow him to be tempted so much.

Thanks

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
Re: Who Is Your Favorite Bible Character And Why? by Pamcrest(f): 12:59pm On Oct 27, 2014
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. WHEN HIS SINS WERE MADE KNOWN TO HIM BY PROPHET NATHAN
DAVID SHOWED A REPENTANT HEART, ALTHOUGH A KING, HE ACCEPTED CORRECTION AND BEGGED FOR FORGIVENESS.

Lies and lies.

Mary isn't the first, Isis- mother of Horus, Maya- mother of Gautama Buddha,
Samele-mother of dionysus. and many other mothers of demi-gods like Hercules and Persus

All mothers carry a baby for 9months, some even carry triplets and more

Mary isn't the first or last to lose her son, or watch him suffer.. you should know that

1) We are talking about biblical figures not fictional characters. tongue

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 cool

3) Who else watched her son die? Her one and only son. undecided

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.
