Psychological Profiling of Biblical Charecters


My very good friend Charlie ( pastoral home dog ) in a recent comment on my blog blog made a good argument that King Solomon had A.D.D. This got me to thinking about the psychological pathologies of many biblical characters. What follows is a totally unqualified series of diagnosis of biblical characters by a wacko priest.

Adam- refusal to take responsibility for his action - codependent
Eve - reptofile
Cain - least favorite son syndrome - prone to violent outbursts
Able - golden child - healthy need to please those on authority
Noah - hears the voice of God - apparently psychotic - (Oh but what if he didn't listen? )
Japeth- latent homosexual tendencies - his children will bear the brunt of his misgivings.
Abraham - healthy need to obey those in authority - manipulative -
Essau- obsession with food - may lead overlooking the good things that have been promised to him
Jacob/Israel- somewhat larcenous - stubbornly tenacious - Tends to play favorites


I'll revisit this from time to time.
