Abishai was said to kill 300 men with one spear, while Benaiah was credited for killing two of Moab’s elite, a lion, and an Egyptian with his own weapon. Clearly, the message here was “Don’t Mess With Israel.”

 

David -Goliath, The most badass thing David ever did? The fact that on numerous ocassions he could have killed Saul, but didn’t. And he let the king KNOW IT.

 

#1 – Samson – One of the most renouned he-man of the Bible. He’s one of the oddest heroes of the Old Testament. Despite being raised as a Nazarite (that is, he couldn’t booze, eat bacon, or shave), the guy was a notorious womanizer, slept with whores, and had pretty much smashed everything he touched. He’s a favorite in Sunday School because of his sheer badassery, yet I’m certain that most Christian parents wouldn’t want their kids to grow up like him. Observe:

• Samson comes face to face with a lion and rips it apart like “he might have torn a young goat.” Frankly, I didn’t even know you could tear apart a goat with your bare hands.

But it was the way he went out… take me and Gods enemies! 

 

Hands down the most BA man in the Bible the Apostle Paul… not so much for what he did - and yes he did a lot. But more for what he went through - and never stopped the intensity of sharing the gospel. 

1 Cor. 11:23 ….in labors more abundant, in stripes above

measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often.

24 From the Jews five times I received forty stripes minus one.

25 Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I

was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep;

26 in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of my own countrymen, in perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in

the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;

27 in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in

fastings often, in cold and nakedness --

 

 

I have my own personal list of BAD ASSESS

Scott - gives gives gives

Pradeepan - a life of faith, shares Christ constantly

Tom S. - divorce, Dnom turns its back on him, he goes for it

Tom A. - casts out demons, preaches fire, faith the size of mountains

Dad - gotten attacked, maligned, gossiped about… never struck back, never spoke a bad word about those men.
