Guys, if you could be any Man in the Bible, who would it be?

[HeavenBound]

Hey Guys, I posted a thread in the Girls' section, on which woman out of the Bible would you like to have been.
So, I thought why not do it here!

So, guys, which Man out of the Bible who you like to have been? IT CAN'T BE Jesus or God!

[Raptor X]

I honestly have no clue... probably Joshua, Isaiah, or Jeremiah.

Joshua-because he was a warlord.
Isaiah-because I could connect with him.
Jeremiah-THE prophet of doom.

I would be David. I am so much like him.

Moses! I have always wanted to stand on top of a mountain while talking to God!

[HeavenBound]

Those are ALL good choices!

[Apostle Paul]

Thats a hard one for me. I would be Paul. Not because he has my name, but because of the great things he has done for Christ.

[Psymind14]

well...that's tough, perhaps abraham or noah. I like them because they had such a close relationship with God. Methusalah (i know i probably didn't spell that one right) and adam would be two close second choices for me...after all, who wouldn't want to be the longest living man in the world, or the father of all of earth's population?

Solomon... The second most wisest person who ever lived (next to Jesus)... Proverbs and Ecclesiastes are such a big influence on my life.... I seriously don't know what I'd do if those books weren't in the bible...

1 Kings 3:5-14
5 In Gib´e·on Jehovah appeared to Sol´o·mon in a dream by night; and God proceeded to say: “Request what I should give you.” 6 At this Sol´o·mon said: “You yourself have exercised great loving-kindness toward your servant David my father according as he walked before you in truth and in righteousness and in uprightness of heart with you; and you continued keeping toward him this great loving-kindness, so that you gave him a son to sit upon his throne as at this day. 7 And now, Jehovah my God, you yourself have made your servant king in the place of David my father, and I am but a little boy. I do not know how to go out and how to come in. 8 And your servant is in the middle of your people whom you have chosen, a multitudinous people that cannot be numbered or counted for multitude. 9 And you must give to your servant an obedient heart to judge your people, to discern between good and bad; for who is able to judge this difficult people of yours?”
10 And the thing was pleasing in the eyes of Jehovah, because Sol´o·mon had requested this thing. 11 And God went on to say to him: “For the reason that you have requested this thing and have not requested for yourself many days nor requested for yourself riches nor requested the soul of your enemies, and you have requested for yourself understanding to hear judicial cases, 12 look! I shall certainly do according to your words. Look! I shall certainly give you a wise and understanding heart, so that one like you there has not happened to be before you, and after you there will not rise up one like you. 13 And also what you have not requested I will give you, both riches and glory, so that there will not have happened to be any among the kings like you, all your days. 14 And if you will walk in my ways by keeping my regulations and my commandments, just as David your father walked, I will also lengthen your days.”

Proverbs 1:20
20 True wisdom itself keeps crying aloud in the very street. In the public squares it keeps giving forth its voice. 21 At the upper end of the noisy streets it calls out. At the entrances of the gates into the city it says its own sayings: 22 “How long will YOU inexperienced ones keep loving inexperience, and [how long] must YOU ridiculers desire for yourselves outright ridicule, and [how long] will YOU stupid ones keep hating knowledge? 23 Turn back at my reproof. Then to YOU I will cause my spirit to bubble forth; I will make my words known to YOU. 24 Because I have called out but YOU keep refusing, I have stretched out my hand but there is no one paying attention, 25 and YOU keep neglecting all my counsel, and my reproof YOU have not accepted, 26 I also, for my part, shall laugh at YOUR own disaster, I shall mock when what YOU dread comes, 27 when what YOU dread comes just like a storm, and YOUR own disaster gets here just like a storm wind, when distress and hard times come upon YOU. 28 At that time they will keep calling me, but I shall not answer; they will keep looking for me, but they will not find me, 29 for the reason that they hated knowledge, and the fear of Jehovah they did not choose. 30 They did not consent to my counsel; they disrespected all my reproof. 31 So they will eat from the fruitage of their way, and they will be glutted with their own counsels. 32 For the renegading of the inexperienced ones is what will kill them, and the easygoingness of the stupid is what will destroy them. 33 As for the one listening to me, he will reside in security and be undisturbed from dread of calamity.”

Proverbs 2:6-9
6 For Jehovah himself gives wisdom; out of his mouth there are knowledge and discernment. 7 And for the upright ones he will treasure up practical wisdom; for those walking in integrity he is a shield, 8 by observing the paths of judgment, and he will guard the very way of his loyal ones. 9 In that case you will understand righteousness and judgment and uprightness, the entire course of what is good.

Proverbs 4:7-9
7 Wisdom is the prime thing. Acquire wisdom; and with all that you acquire, acquire understanding. 8 Highly esteem it, and it will exalt you. It will glorify you because you embrace it. 9 To your head it will give a wreath of charm; a crown of beauty it will bestow upon you.”

Proverbs 8:11-14
11 For wisdom is better than corals, and all other delights themselves cannot be made equal to it. 12 “I, wisdom, I have resided with shrewdness and I find even the knowledge of thinking abilities. 13 The fear of Jehovah means the hating of bad. Self-exaltation and pride and the bad way and the perverse mouth I have hated. 14 I have counsel and practical wisdom. I—understanding; I have mightiness.

1Kings 4:29
29 And God continued giving Sol´o·mon wisdom and understanding in very great measure and a broadness of heart, like the sand that is upon the seashore. 30 And Sol´o·mon’s wisdom was vaster than the wisdom of all the Orientals and than all the wisdom of Egypt. 31 And he was wiser than any other man, than E´than the Ez´ra·hite and He´man and Cal´col and Dar´da the sons of Ma´hol; and his fame came to be in all the nations all around. 32 And he could speak three thousand proverbs, and his songs came to be a thousand and five. 33 And he would speak about the trees, from the cedar that is in Leb´a·non to the hyssop that is coming forth on the wall; and he would speak about the beasts and about the flying creatures and about the moving things and about the fishes. 34 And they kept coming from all the peoples to hear Sol´o·mon’s wisdom, even from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom.


Ecclesiastes 7:11,12
11 Wisdom along with an inheritance is good and is advantageous for those seeing the sun. 12 For wisdom is for a protection [the same as] money is for a protection; but the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom itself preserves alive its owners.


If I were Soloman though I wouldn't have made that lame mistake he did... He had all that knowledge/wisdom and he didn't even take his own advice *Shakes head*... Dude I'd love to have the knowledge or Solomon in my DOME... SOLOMON WHY DID YOU HAVE TO MESS UP !!!!???? *Cries*

Samson, I always wanted long hair and to be super strong :P
