Who was the greatest OT servant of God?

[EphelDuath]

“Greatest” can be defined however you wish it; righteousness, glory, piety, accomplishments, miracles, etc.

 

[Joysong]

That’s almost impossible to answer, other than to speculate with personal opinion, rather than as God considers each of these. Each had their own call and mission from God, and each had their own difficulty with fidelity. Don’t we all?

Did you have a special reason for asking this?

 

[Andruschak]

“Greatest” can be defined however you wish it; righteousness, glory, piety, accomplishments, miracles, etc.

What about Nathan? To go before King David who has unlimited powers? David has sent a man to his death so as to take his wife. He can order Nathan to be killed on the spot, and it will be done.

But Nathan goes before King David anyhow and announces his crime and sin before everyone.

(Yes, yes, I know, I know. John the Baptist did much the same thing and WAS killed. But I tend to think of John the Baptist as NT.)

David, because God attested of him “a man who will do all of my will.” Can’t get a better testimonial than that. Sorry, I can’t recall the passage citation.

Matthew

 

[Mirdath]

Daniel is, as far as I know, the only one who’s never recorded to have screwed up somehow.

 

[BennyBoy89]

Melchizedek (sp?).

 

[KinseyMcGuire]

I voted Moses…because anyone who willingly led the stiff-necked, rebellious, constantly complaining Israelities around the desert for fourty years because God told him too had to have been an amazing man to not have lost his mind!

And Jesus said John the Baptist was the greatest but the smallest in the kingdome of God is greater.
