Zone1 Who are your favorite minor Bible Characters?

[Meriweather]

probably joseph since I have 9 brothers and 2 sisters I did not know about until was 68 years old

That must be quite a story in its own right.

I had to look him up. It said he was the eighth reincarnation of Vishnu, yet was immoral himself? Am I understanding that correctly?

Immoral or immortal? He was mortal and immoral because he was born of the flesh and all mortals embody all spectrums of the cosmos. Something like that. My wife is Indian and some members of her family are still practicing Hindus. It's a fascinating mythology.

 

[Orangecat]

The apostle Philip, because I played him on a History Channel documentary.

Sorry about that! Immortal. I was wondering how reincarnation and being immortal worked together. It said Parashurama was a reincarnation of Vishnu, and that Parashurama was also immortal.

I did not see that, but did that documentary include the part where Jesus asked Phillip how they were going to feed 5000? (John 6:5)

Moussaka ----cut the eggplant VERY THIN and use lots of Bechamel and serve
with ample ouzo-----so nobody NOTICES OR CARES

I love Gideon! Gideon (with his fleece) and Hezekiah (with his sundial) also influenced me when I was in need of direction.

Gideon should have married Deborah

 

[Meriweather]

Gideon should have married Deborah

Wasn't she already married?

 

[irosie91]

Wasn't she already married?

SO????? uhm....I don't know. Her other SO was BARAK

 

[Meriweather]

SO????? uhm....I don't know. Her other SO was BARAK

While I know some Biblical men had more than one wife, I am not aware of a wife having more than one husband? Or was she widowed?

Anyway, why do you think Gideon should have married Deborah?

 

[Vastator]

Absalom.

 

[Meriweather]

Absalom.

Why Absalom? He was trying to dethrone his father.

Ambition.

they had complimentary interests

Nah. Truth be told, it was so boring that I couldn't wait to get done. No speaking lines, just a lot of walking around in hot, dusty socal. $300+ for a day of that, though, in late '90s money.

 

[foggedinn]

Elijah the Tishbite.

he had nice hair

 

[Meriweather]

he had nice hair

Absalom was trapped by that nice hair, and killed despite the wishes of King David. Here David was true to form. He could not punish his son Amnon for the rape of his daughter Tamar; he did not want harm for Absalom despite Absalom's attempt to dethrone him.

David was a family man with a whole lot of too much family
