More Fun: Top 10 Biblical Figures

This is on the heels of a wildly popular and fun-filled thread of epic proportions. :bounce Members were tasked with guessing the top 10 cartoon characters according to a poll taken on about.com. Well, I'm back to my outrageous fun and frivolity with another pole to take your guesses at (not from about.com). I thought I'd try these once a week, and rather than start this on a Saturday night at 11:00pm, forcing me to take answers until 2:00am (not good planning!) :thud:, I'll drop these on you mid-day on Mondays.

As with the cartoon characters poll, the same rules apply:

  1. Do NOT cheat and seek out this poll on the net. Have fun guessing!! :yes
  2. Only 1 guess per post. This includes not sneaking other guesses in along with your main guess, but post as many times as you'd like! Posts with more than one guess will not register and might only give others an idea!
  3. I'll unveil the answers according to the order they are posted and give credit where credit is due.
  4. I'll provide the link to my source at the end.
Respondents to this poll were asked to name the 10 most significant figures in the Bible. This is the result of the poll. I think the final list might surprise you - who made the list and who did not. :chin (But don't shoot the messenger. It's not my list!) :halo

TOP TEN BIBLICAL FIGURES

1. God - Sparrowhawke (obvious, but not obvious!)
2. Jesus - Sparrowhawke
3. Job - reba
4. Lot - reba
5. David - Hitch
6.
James - Sparrowhawke
7. Paul - Sparrowhawke
8. Peter - Sparrowhawke
9. Mary - Theofilus
10. Matthew - Handy

Take your bests shots!

EDIT: Make sure you specify which person if there are multiple figures with the same name.

Okay, hmmmmm... Daves great, great [...] grandson: Jesus
 
mmm... I guessed Paul already. What about John?
(I don't think Ringo or George will make it though)
 
Abe's grandson Jacob aka The God-Fighter enters the stadium.
The crowd cheers: Israel, Israel, Israel.

:shocked! Yikes. You have some strange input function on your search there. It makes it fun though.

Next guess: Mary (there are so many Mary's in the bible surely 1 of them is on your list?) Okay, just so that I am not being too sneaky: The one hailed by angels, fuill of grace and whose womb was blessed above all women. Jesus' mom.

I saw your edit: EDIT: Make sure you specify which person if there are multiple figures with the same name.
