Barak, in the Bible
 

Did you know that the name Barak is in the Bible 16 times, and he is described as a man of faith?

Heb 11:32 (KJV)
32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:

And?

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

And what?

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

And he refused to go into battle unless Deborah the prophetess went with him, even though God sent him into battle.

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

Apparently, the Word looks back on him and considers him a man of faith, according to Hebrews.

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

Is there a reason you pointed this out? As in are you comparing him to the candidate for President?

Yes and no. People like to go on and on about his name being "Muslim", so, when I ran across the name in the Bible, I thought I'd post it.

:uhoh :reaction :reaction :drama

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

Yes. I got a revelation! :lol

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

Naw, did you read "How Berry Became Barack"?

He's an idiot.

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

Yeah, I really don't get that myself. So it's a Hebrew name?

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

Who, BO? You think he's an idiot? Seems pretty much anything but that to me. He's managed to rise to the top of his party in a very short time. He even defeated the mighty Clinton political machine, on his first time out!

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

Apparently so.

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

This is interesting because of his refusal to go with out her the victory was given to the hands of a women. The Captain thought he would hide in a neutral tent and the women gave him milk, then when he slept she drove a tent stake through his temple.

Most Islamic names came from the hebrew too...

Anyway I don't like Barack because I am a conservative, he is a liberal and he is pretty much the closest thing to the Red state we can be.

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

Hmmmm. Very interesting. To be honest with you, I haven't read his story. I was reading Hebrews last night and came across that scripture, it made me think of Barack Obama, so I thought I'd look the name up in the Bible. I will have to read up on him now.

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

I like obama, I hate his politics but I am sure we could sit down and have a nice cup of coffee...at least for 30 seconds.

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

Actually, Barry was his nickname, not his birth name. Just like my nickname was Kenny as a child and I changed it once I got older...no difference.

It was a group of his friends from college who started calling him by his formal name, Barak.

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

John is in the bible too. To the Author of this thread, what in sam hill does it have to do with McCain?

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

There's a bunch of people named Jesus but only one died on the cross.

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

Did you even read the article?

I did, lol the question was not was his name Barry but have you read it.....

Hey Rico, hold a family reunion.

Women can get the job done!

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

Actually haysoos translates into Jesse not Jesus.

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

Translates?

Lets not get into this old debate.

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

Especially with a hammer, stake, and when the fella is asleep...


:D

:toofunny:toofunny

I have nothing to say... :toofunny

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

Rico,
How do you spell - Hussein O'Bama? Has nothing to do with Barak.

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

It's just another one of those dumb threads, Carp. Feel free to ignore it, unless your DNA won't allow you to.

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

I bet your name translates to Jonathan in French :shifty

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

Only because it flows so nicely in Spanish. :D

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

Attend a Spanish church and they use "haysoos" for Jesus. Furthermore, if you live in a place of high Mexican population you find there are 1,000's named "Jesse" and 1,000's named "Jesus." Apparently the culture sees a difference in the two names.

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

Go report a post, Rico.

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

But they both translate to beans.

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

First of all, it's not haysoos. It's more like he(short e)soos(emphasis on soos)

Re: Barak, in the Bible
 

whyte peeple say Haysoos.

Re: Barak, in the Bible
