Who are your favorite Old and New Testament Characters and why? (excluding God)
I like David for the old testament, He was a warrior, who loved God with all his heart. He made mistakes but truly repented. I like Paul for the new testament, He was a great teacher, who was a shown a lot of grace for killing Christians before his conversion, and he loved the Lord and gave it everything he had. |

Hmmm, OT I'd have to say Samson just because He was so strong both physically and in the Lord, He died saving his nation.
For the NT I like both Luke and Cornelius. Luke was such a great doctor, teahcer, leader and a devoted man of God. Cornelius' story amazes me and I love how one man can turn his life around to Jesus even amongst those who would kill him for it.  ~Sarah~

Old Testament - Elijah. I see so much supernaturally natural resolve in his frail humanity
New Testament - The Roman Centurion in Luke 7:1-9, everytime I read this story and especially verses 6-9, I am so blessed.

In the OT, I love Enoch. Not much is said about him in the bible but I love the fact that the bible says he had fellowship with God.
In the NT I love John. The bible describes him as the disciple that the Lord loved and the one who used to lay his head on the bosom of Jesus Christ.
