god -- because he kills so many people, and he created a Hell, specifically to send some of his children there.\n\nand then he talks about love.\n\nplus, his book (bible) states he is the beginning and ending.  that he is all knowing.  and that he still has to test people, as if he doesn't already know the future and already know how everyone turns out!  LMFAO!!\n\nthe bible cracks me up.  such inconsistency and nonsense.  and a funny, mass-murdering clown called god.  LOL!!

Definitely Batman, coz' he is much more earthly, just like any of us without any superpowers. I like him for his crime fighting strategies and dark "angst ridden" lonely life.

My most enjoyable word/study program so far has been reading the Acts of the Apostles, and the letters of Paul by myself, for the first time with understanding. \nI recently purchased a NIV Bible that has commentary running through it. Because it is written in everyday language (with no 'thee' or 'thou' running through it) it is much easier for me to understand.\nI learned about the special nature of Jesus. That he is the perfect high priest to represent us to God. Jesus, because he was human, knows firsthand the temptations we suffer through daily, and he can help us to overcome them. Jesus also conquered the world and death, by dying with the ultimate act of love for us, and raising himself from the dead, to assure us of everlasting life with Him.

AHAHa I must admit I said Moses at first, even though, of course it was Noah. I also tried it on my sister, and she said Moses too. It's funny how it makes you automatically think Moses eh? =D

my favorite Bible story is found in the NT - where Peter steps out of the boat and walks on water, in the midst of a stormy sea...\n\nI like this story in particular, simply because metaphorically it teaches us that we need to keep our eyes on JESUS, and not look at the 'waves' (circumstances, problems, etc) in our life. \n\nIf we fail to keep our eyes on JESUS than we go under - just like Peter did once he start looking at the waves.\n\n\nYes, I believe it's true.\n\nThank you by the way, for asking this question. I think it's a wonderful question and you are to be commended for asking it.\n\nGod Bless.

Jack  - in the perfectionist, control freak way.\nShannon - I may be able to help out, but I'm not the first to step up and take initiative, I need to be asked to help.\nLocke - I believe very strongly in my calling (but my belief is in God, not an island, or fate)  I charge forward without fear to do what I think I'm supposed to do.\n\nThese are not my fave characters though.  I like Kate the best because I have a bit of a savior mentality, it's my big weakness in life.  She is the type of person who I can see that "vulnerable hurt little girl" - She wears her heart on her sleeve and seems so alone all the time and I just want to jump in and help her.  It's not my job, but it draws me every time and I usually just end up doing more damage.

My favorite is Lucy because she's so innocent, Edmund because he shows that NO one is perfect and temptation is powerful, and Peter because he has to look after them and he's courageous, brave, valiant, and caring. Other than them I like Aslan, The White Whitch, Mr. Tumnus, and the  beavers.

I have to say Bugs. He's the coolest, most laid back cartoon character ever. Plus, he also doesn't mess around when someone wrongs him. Woe to the poor soul who ever makes Bugs utter the words "Of course you realize, this means war".

I would have to say Enoch.\n\nGenesis 5:24   And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. \n\nHebrews 11:5   By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

Read your Bible -- you've got 4 versions to choose from, and the alert reader will notice that they all slightly vary.  Well, witnesses to any great event often vary a bit in the details, especially when some of the witnesses weren't even there.\n\nWhen it comes to the Gospels, I prefer Matthew.  In this instance, however, I'd go with John (simply because he was there).\n\nYes, of the 4 authors of the Gospel both Matthew and John were the only ones who were actually of the 12 Apostles.  But Matthew never claims to have been first at the tomb -- John was (he even brags about how fast he ran !).  That kind of detail impresses me that he recognized the importance of the event, and recorded everything clearly in his mind.

I suppose you mean Lazarus, who was raised from the dead by Jesus. Interestingly, the Bible makes no mention of him dying a second time, although it is clearly understood that he did. However, there were several other Bible characters who were raised from the dead as well.

I actually had a conversation with him the other day.  He's a close personal friend of mine.  He's really a lot more talkative than they make him out to be in the Bible and he doesn't always talk in parables.
