Where was this? As I recall, it was killing Uriah to take his wife that made God angry with David. In fact, in his condemnation of David's relationship with Bathsheba, God seemed outright supportive of David's polygamy (with God taking credit for David having so many wives).

I'm guessing Moses.

Greatest Jew of All Time sounds like reality show, though, doesn't it?

The Bible records two wives for Moses, unless Zipporah was both Midianite and Ethiopian.

Eh, well, most people don't really recognize Moses as a polygamist. Some people will say that Zipporah died and Moses remarried (still not having "only one wife", but not polygamy), which seems plausible enough. Others say that for whatever reason people called Zipporah "the Ethiopian" even though she wasn't Ethiopian.

His fanbase is largely outside the Jewish community.

This is almost getting silly, so I will take my leave so you may right the thread.

Sorry, I just found my overlooking Moses' situation along with design neglecting to remember that Jews don't consider Jesus the son of God, thereby undercutting his status a bit kinda funny. I just don't wish to be blamed for a derail on a thread that's pretty healthy at Page 9.

God, I need to watch that show. Imagine Maury's "you are Not the father" mixed with "You are the weakest link."

That would be fun.

Now if Jesus is out for greatest Jew, I'd have to go with Noah over Moses. Moses lead a lot of people out of slavery, and did a great job, but Noah saved all mankind his family. I'd have to go with Noah.

The problem with that is Noah wasn't a Jew. He preceded Abraham. According to God Moshe was the greatest, higher than any other prophet.

Of course, you can't really speak of Jews until well after Abraham. Only with the destruction of the Northern Kingdom would Judah become identified as the homeland. Abraham may have been a Hebrew, but a Jew he wasn't. Arguably, only the descendants of Joseph are Hebrews.

Didn't the greatest Jew of all time break up with Mia Farrow and then marry her adopted daughter?

Er…Jacob's other 11 sons weren't Hebrews?

You missed the other Marx brother, Karl, the funniest of them all and a great comedy writer.
