Find your Bible Dad

 
The Good Book Company | June 19, 2015

What would your Dad most likely be found doing on the weekend?

  •  On a camping trip
  •  Almost anything to avoid his in-laws
  •  Chilling with his friends
  •  Working on his music
  •  Working on a DIY project

Your Dad would most likely be heard saying…

  •  “So what’s my crime, what wrong have I done you that you badger me like this?”
  •  “Hurry. Get three cups of our best flour; knead it and make bread.”
  •  “Up and out of here!”
  •  None of these—he’s the quiet type.
  •  “If you don’t show up, you won’t live to tell about it.”

What does your Dad find most annoying?

  •  When you wander off in public places
  •  Idolatry and witchcraft
  •  The constant bickering of the women in his household
  •  When his wife tries to cramp his style
  •  His brother

What is your Dad’s biggest flaw?

  •  He lets some members of the family get away with murder
  •  He tries to solve problems his own way
  •  He has a favourite child and isn’t subtle about it
  •  I don’t think he has one—he’s a very thoughtful, reasonable man
  •  He drives like a maniac

Dad would most likely turn up to a party dressed in…

  •  His riding gear
  •  A nice sheepskin jacket
  •  Something expensive—he’s pretty minted
  •  Egyptian-themed fancy dress
  •  A disguise
Your Bible Dad is David

Hailing from humble roots, your Bible Dad has found success later in life. He has an up-and-at-them entrepreneurial spirit, but an increasingly mellow attitude to family discipline as he ages.

Your Bible Dad is Abraham

The archetypal patriarch, your Bible Dad likes to entertain interesting guests. He doesn’t always make the best family decisions, but over all he’s a faithful guy. He might also own a lot of sheep.

Your Bible Dad is Jacob

Your poor Bible Dad always seems to be fighting fires in the family—whether it’s with his brother, his father in law or among his wild brood of offspring. Despite that, he’s a family man through and through, who loves his kids deeply and can be very generous.

Your Bible Dad is Joseph (Mary's husband)

An honourable and dependable man. Your Bible Dad tries to do the right thing and goes the extra mile to protect the family. He’s a humble man who’s happy to remain in the background while others take centre stage.

Read more about Joseph in Matthew 1 v 18 – 2 v 23

Your Bible Dad is Jehu

The blokey type. Your Bible Dad’s a tough nut, verging on terrifyingly bloodthirsty—although if he’s angry, it’s usually for the right reasons. Cross him if you dare, and travel in his car at your peril.

Read more about Jehu in 2 Kings 9 – 10
