I was wanting to hear opinions on the stories we read about in OT scripture. Whats your favorite and why? Thank you.
Thank you. Interesting.I like the story of Ahab and how God dealt with him ordering his death in a precise manner and time.
“And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.” (1 Kings 22:34) (KJV 1900)
So an idiot shooting an arrow into the air on a whim did him in just as ordered by God.
Good to hear it brings you joy. Thank you for the reply.I love the story of Ruth, I can read it again and again, and her devotion to her mother in law. I thank God for this wonderful book.
I love the story of Noah. The man had faith. God told him it was going to rain(something which had never happened before on earth because it was supplied by rivers) and he believed it. Then he went on to build the ark as instructed for so many years. Imagine the scorn and laughter from on-lookers yet he didn't waiver. He saved his household because of His faith and obedience. What a man!I was wanting to hear opinions on the stories we read about in OT scripture. Whats your favorite and why? Thank you.

...yes, I feel that Boaz was a very kind and thoughtful man.I too like the Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz 'kinsman redeemer' story. There is much to learn from this story.
My wife says Ruth is the story of a destitute woman essentially seducing Boaz. Our minister preached on it the other day, calling it such a beautiful story, and she was quite vehement that it was nothing of the sort....yes, I feel that Boaz was a very kind and thoughtful man.
