Bible character "Who am I?"

[themuzicman]

Locks without wine
Woman not of mine
The blind doing the pulling
was my undoing.

Who am I?

[bar Jonah]

Samson?

[Xavier]

The Philistines (Judges 16)

[Xmansmommy]

Cool Michael! :thumb:

[Xavier]

Samson?
He would have been the one doing the pulling...

[themuzicman]

He was also blind at the time.... (Yes, Sampson is correct)

[Xavier]

:tongue:

[themuzicman]

Hiaku?

Far from my own home
Men took my wife for beauty
But returned her, too.

[Xavier]

Abraham? (Genesis 20)

[themuzicman]

OK, let me get out the 'HARD' category....

My power could not defend a friend
From a law that would put him to an end
But God saw him through the night
And I rejoiced with the first light.

Who am i?

[Dave G]

King Darius (Daniel 6)

[Xavier]

Nice Job Dave... :clap:

[Dave G]

Why, thanks

[themuzicman]

I lead into war
My skin is falling off me
Until I do bathe

[mossrose]

The Ethiopian eunoch that Phillip met and healed.....he had leprosy. Acts 8:26-39

[truthman]

I lead into war
My skin is falling off me
Until I do bathe

Naaman?

[themuzicman]

You people are good.

[themuzicman]

Violating me
They cut themselves to have me
My brothers killed them.

[Abigail]

Dinah

[themuzicman]

Wow... this is getting embarrassing...

Though standing opposed
I was swallowed by the earth
But my sons were not

Who am I

[truthman]

achan

[themuzicman]

Finally got someone.... Nope... :no:

[truthman]

I seem to remember something like that happening to one of Aaron's relatives, but I can't find it!

argh

[bar Jonah]

Korah!!!!

:rithumb:

I know because I and the GODISNOWHERE ministry is aquainted with a cool Christian emo band here in Denver called S.O.K., which stands for Sons of Korah.

Korah was wicked and rebelled against God in the wilderness. But some of his male descendents rebelled against their own ancestor's wickedness, and went on to author some wonderful Psalms! But little is known of them... They apparently sought no glory for themselves in this ministry.

[Xavier]

Emo... :shifty:

[Stephen]

Emo is the most horrible thing I can think of...

[themuzicman]

I saw miricles
But in the time of trouble
I did flee naked.

[truthman]

Sceva's son

[mossrose]

I saw miricles
But in the time of trouble
I did flee naked.
The youth who was in the garden when Jesus was arrested.....his robe came off and he ran away.

[themuzicman]

Err.. not who I was thinking of...

[truthman]

I think that both answers can be right

Both saw miracles right? One of Paul, the other of Christ. And, they both fled naked.

truthman

[themuzicman]

True. I can't fault your answer, other than it was one person, not seven, but your answer was original. 1/2 point each.

[truthman]

Also, Joseph ran naked from Potiphar's house, didn't he? And he saw miracles too.

truthman

[themuzicman]

Tricked by much wine
I sired a pair of nations
And grandfathered, too

[truthman]

my first thoughts were Judah in Genesis 38, but I don't see wine

[truthman]

nope, I found it, it's Lot in Genesis 19

[truthman]

muz, where do you get these from?

[themuzicman]

Man you're good....

I was found hiding
Threshing wheat for my dinner
I was least of least

[Xavier]

Gideon, Judges.

[bar Jonah]

Erh, was I right about Korah? :nsm:

[themuzicman]

Erh, was I right about Korah? :nsm:

:yes:

(I just make these up off the top of my head...)

[themuzicman]

My uncle conviced
Me to save my people through
dinner with the king

[Abigail]

Esther

[themuzicman]

Very good...

OK, let me go find some really hard ones....

[themuzicman]

Ba'al worshippers
I gathered for sacrifice
My men killed them all

[themuzicman]

:bump:

[Abigail]

Jehu

[themuzicman]

Jehu

:brood:

Yes, again... :no: Lemme find another one :wink:

[themuzicman]

My children do head
Cattle, lyre, and bronze from fire
I am very proud.

[truthman]

Enoch

[themuzicman]

No.

[themuzicman]

:bump:

[Xavier]

My children do head
Cattle, lyre, and bronze from fire
I am very proud.
:nsm:

A bit generic... Those things are all over the OT... :smile:

[truthman]

MM, I know that Enoch is not who you were thinking of, however, in Genesis 4 is the genealogy of Enoch.

Enoch's descendant in 4:20 was Jabal, his sons had cattle as mentioned by same verse
Enoch's descendant in 4:21 was Jubal, the father of all who play harp and organ
Enoch's descendant in 4:22 was Tubalcain, the instuctor of every artificer in brass and iron

You gotta admit, that's very close to your question!

[themuzicman]

Yes, Enoch was close, but What does verse 19 say? :doh:

[truthman]

Are you telling me that I was off by one generation?

truthman Lamechs, I mean laments, his previous decision.

[themuzicman]

Or one verse.. depending on your perspective :teeth:

[themuzicman]

My friends tried to help
But they were all cursed by God
Unless I prayed for them

[Xavier]

Job

[themuzicman]

Hmm.....

I was very tall.
Someone refused my armor
My own sword killed me

[Abigail]

saul

[Xavier]

Go Abigail.... :thumb:

[themuzicman]

Hmm.....

My sons were evil
I was given one to raise
God called him at night

[Abigail]

Eli

[themuzicman]

Which one gave that away?

[themuzicman]

My job was fishing
My brother and I left dad
to tend nets alone (Who are WE? .. OK, this is an easy one)

[truthman]

James and John, the sons of Zebedee, the sons of thunder

[themuzicman]

Yup...

My first husband died
The next was evil and died, too
The third withdrew from his duty.

[truthman]

Tamar

[themuzicman]

Daughter of one king, wife to another.
I told the king his dancing was quite a bother.
Though I loved him and was not wild,
I lived my life without bearing a child. Who am I?

[truthman]

Michal

[themuzicman]

Too easy?

[truthman]

MM, we're just too good for ya'.

spoke too soon, MM's gonna bring out the big guns

truthman

[elysian]

My husband was a fool
I fed the king's men to save my husband's life
He dropped dead soon after

[themuzicman]

For silver and clothes
I pursued a happy man
and was white as snow

[truthman]

For silver and clothes
I pursued a happy man
and was white as snow

the beggar at the Temple Gate called Beautiful?

My husband was a fool
I fed the king's men to save my husband's life
He dropped dead soon after

haven't a clue

[themuzicman]

the beggar at the Temple Gate called Beautiful?


:no: :hehe: :haha:

[Abigail]

The second one is Abigail

[elysian]

I will provide a clue:

Read 1 Samuel 25, especially verses 14-20, 25-31 and 36-39.

[elysian]

The second one is Abigail

Cross-post!

You are correct!

[themuzicman]

Hint for mine: The white as snow was a BAD THING.

[Abigail]

lot's wife or miriam ...you pick

[truthman]

actually, I'm beginning to think of it as leprosy

truthman once again gives up and retreats to the spongebob squarepants forum

(truthman likes to talk about himself in the third person)

[themuzicman]

Leprosy is correct... Now, who chased after someone for silver and clothes? Maybe after his master refused? Hmm.... :doh:

[Abigail]

Naaman

[themuzicman]

Ooohhh. SO CLOSE! But..:no:

[truthman]

brain, going to, ex, plode

[Abigail]

Gehazi

[themuzicman]

(Namaan gave him the silver and clothes)

[Abigail]

Yoohoo Muz is gehazi right?

[themuzicman]

It IS!

[themuzicman]

I went into war
"No honor for you" she said (to me)
"A woman will do it"

[Xavier]

Judith?

[Abigail]

Deborah

[themuzicman]

No, and close, but no. :hehe:

(hint added, may have been unclear)

[Abigail]

Barak

[Xavier]

Dang... She's good... :bow:

[themuzicman]

Dang... She's good... :bow:

:yes: :hmph:


A man of great faith
A man with authority
who found the one his servant needed.

[mossrose]

The centurian with great faith and a sick servant in Matthew 8.

[themuzicman]

Very good.

[themuzicman]

My child was taken
Another claimed to own him
I let go so he would live.

[mossrose]

The mother of the baby that Solomon threatened to cut in half to solve the problem of who the mother really was.

[Mujibur]

Moses' mother

[themuzicman]

Mossrose is correct, although Mujibur could be correct... :doh:

[mossrose]

Hey, we Canucks gotta stick together, ya know, eh?

:smug:

[Abigail]

I was not very tall
If I lived today my business cards would have 'IRS' on them
I had the most famous person in the world stay at my house

[truthman]

zaccheus

[Abigail]

You got it:bravo:

[truthman]

A man by force and injury brings me to him,
I was then required to pay the debts of him and his friend.
However, I had done no wrong.

Who am I?

[truthman]

too tough???

I'll add more to it:

These men finished out their lives without punishment for this action against me.

truthman

[truthman]

The facts of this story have not been scaled down. Tribute has been given where tribute was due.

truthman

[Xavier]

I'm still drawing a blank T-man... :huh:

[truthman]

post #111 is actually a hint

truthman

[truthman]

Your brains are swimming now, aren't they?

OK, around midday, I'll post the answer, unless I get notice in this thread not to.

truthman

[themuzicman]

Jesus?

[Xavier]

Jesus?
That's the only person I can think of... If that is the answer, :doh:...

[truthman]

ok, here's the big hint, and I really hate to give this out

I'm not a person

truthman

[Abigail]

Oh come on truthman put us out of our misery, besides it is long past midday for some of us :teeth:

[truthman]

I am the fish from Matthew 17:27

[Xavier]

Ouch... That's rough...

[truthman]

I'm sure the hints I gave make sense now, 'scaled', 'tribute', 'swimming'

truthman

[mossrose]

That 20/20 hindsight is SO wonderful...wish I had a little of it in foresight instead......

:teeth:

[themuzicman]

I stop to let people in.
I wash people to relieve them of sickness and disease.

Who am i?

[truthman]

I am the Jordan river

truthman

[themuzicman]

No, I'm sorry, that's not correct....




































































just kidding... :wink:

[truthman]

aaah, you made me scream!

I float. I cut. I'm born out of mountains and am formed by fire.

What am I?

truthman

[Mujibur]

I float.
A duck. No, very small rocks. :lol:

[themuzicman]

The axe head that floated.

[truthman]

:b_hop:

[themuzicman]

I went to see a man who wanted to kill me.
I prayed for him, and I left.
He didn't kill me.

[Mujibur]

David and Saul?

[themuzicman]

David prayed for Saul?

[truthman]

David prayed for Saul?
nope, David didn't pray for Saul, he 'played' for Saul

[themuzicman]

No guess, truthman?

[Xavier]

Elijah?

[Mujibur]

David prayed for Saul?
1 Samuel 23:10-13
10 David said, "O LORD , God of Israel, your servant has heard definitely that Saul plans to come to Keilah and destroy the town on account of me. 11 Will the citizens of Keilah surrender me to him? Will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? O LORD , God of Israel, tell your servant."
And the LORD said, "He will."
12 Again David asked, "Will the citizens of Keilah surrender me and my men to Saul?"
And the LORD said, "They will."
13 So David and his men, about six hundred in number, left Keilah and kept moving from place to place. When Saul was told that David had escaped from Keilah, he did not go there.


But I guess this was not in Saul's presence and it wasn't praying 'for' Saul but rather about Saul so it would not count.

[truthman]

no guess this time, MM, I'm stumped

truthman

[themuzicman]

Hint: the answer Mujibur gave contains the name of one of the characters in this story.

:grin:

[Mujibur]

Saul and Ananias?

[themuzicman]

Yup! :yes::yes1:

[bar Jonah]

I got mad at God,
then wrote inspiration twice
'cuz the first got burned

[3methxanthine]

I got mad at God,
then wrote inspiration twice
'cuz the first got burned

Jeremiah?

[themuzicman]

If it wasn't burned, I'd say Moses.

[bar Jonah]

Jeremiah?
:rithumb:


Muze, couln't be Moses... God is the one who wrote that with HIs own finger. :rigreen:

[kafka]

I threw you thrice down
stubborn as i am I wouldn't carry you

[themuzicman]

[Mujibur]

Balaam's donkey

[kafka]

I was an important dude
But I went bush, grew my hair long
And ate grass. (Yes, ate, not smoked... :tongue:)

[ballplayr412]

King Nebuchadnezzar

[Wonder Woman]

I married this really hot chick (though she wore a bit too much lippy)
She wore the pants.
I tended to sulk.

[mossrose]

King Ahab, speaking of his lovely wife, Jezebel.
