Who would you say is the hossiest good/evil person in the O.T./N.T.? Some candidates would be Samson, Shamgar, and Benaiah for good and Goliath for Evil in the O.T., and Paul (bit by a snake and laughed it off), Peter (crucified upside-down by request), or Stephen for good and Barabbas (murderer, revolutionary, and convicted enemy of Rome set free on a technicality) or Nero (played his fiddle while Rome burned) for evil. What do you think?
-
Hossiest?
-
As in being a hoss, I assume.
Samson is way up there. Is there even a Jehu card? If so he's up there.
-
Yeah, and his strength(toughness?) is how many evil characters are in play.
-
As for being a hoss in the OT, I gotta go with Samson. I can't even imagine how you could kill 1000 people with the jawbone of a donkey.
In the NT, I gotta go with John the Baptist. Wild man in the desert eating locusts and honey. Rarrrrrr!
For evil OT, I gotta go with Goliath. I know he lost his most famous fight, but that doesn't mean he still wasn't a hoss.
For evil NT, I gotta go with the demon-possessed man in the Gadarene (Gerasene) region. Breaking chains, living in tombs. Rarrrr!
-
Shamgar. Why you ask? he killed 600 men with a pointy stick(Ox-goad) He wasn't super strong either.
NT's got to be Paul for looking into the face of death a million times.
OT's Goliath
NT's Nero.
-
NT Evil is definitely the Seven Wicked Spirits possessed guy.
OT Evil is probably Goliath
NT Good is Peter
OT Good is either Asahel or Abishai. Because they're awesome...
-
What does HOSSIEST mean???
-
Okay. I just made up my mind.
OT Good: Samson. This should be obvious.
NT Good: I'm still pretty un decide. Peter, I guess.
OT Evil: King Sargon II. My european history book told me some disturbing things about him.
NT Evil: Emperor Caius Calilugla.
-
ok...so not to get off topic terribly or to start an argument, but I had heard that the 1,000 men that Samson killed was a missprint for a lesser but still impressive number when being converted to the English language. I do not doubt the validity of the Bible or the power God has given to his servants, nevertheless it was a Christian source that made the point of mistranslation to counter an athiest saying that 1,000 is physically impossible with a jawbone. As for the suggestions so far I love Nero...setting fire to Rome...then broke out the fiddle. lol
-
I'm pretty sure my Bible just says "and Samson slew many" or something like that. I don't think there's a number given.
-
the KJV says a "thousand therewith"
-
KJV is not the best translation when it comes to specific details. Either way, with all the miracles in the Bible, why were they arguing about how durable a jawbone could be?
-
athiests will try to invalidate the Bible in any way they can. It really is silly. It was just a point of interest that came back to me. It is funny tho...point out the jawbone impossibility but leave walking on water alone... ;)
-
I was listening to this one guy who said it was impossible for Jesus to ascend into heaven becasue he would have no oxygen in space.....
-
In addition to others mentioned, I'd consider:
OT hero: Gideon, Cyrus
OT EC: Pharoah, Nimrod
NT hero: Martha (funny, when she stood up to Jesus he didn't tell Satan to get behind him ;) )
NT EC: Sapphira
