If you could spend one hour ...

[Bob Evans]

with someone in history other than Jesus who would you spend it with and why?

[Roy Richardson]

with someone in history other than Jesus who would you spend it with and why?

Adam. To find out what it was like to live in perfection.

[Susan Unger]

My maternal grandparents - they died when I was three but their loving, Christlike legacy still lives on in the family. I would like to experience the original.

[Hans Deventer]

with someone in history other than Jesus who would you spend it with and why?

Paul. To check what he meant with his words on women and silence.

[Tami Martin]

Paul. To check what he meant with his words on women and silence.


You beat me to it! It's a toss up for me between Paul and Peter.

[Jeremy D. Scott]

I've always wished to meet my great-grandfather, Floyd W. Nease (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_W._Nease), who died when he was 37.

[Dennis M. Scott]

I look forward to an hour with Brad.

[Desiree Allen-Baker]

Franklin D. Roosevelt is my pick. I have always been fascinated by his time on Earth.

[James Diggs]

Adam. To find out what it was like to live in perfection.

I would rather spend it with Eve. Then I could ask her about her opinion on this thread HERE (http://www.naznet.com/community/showthread.php?t=19029).

Eve, after all, was very modest. In all the pictures of her she has long hair that always covered her up in all the appropriate places.

[Sue Pyles]

The first person who came to my mind was Helen Keller.
I have always been inspired by people who could rise above their circumstances and accomplish great things.The other names that came to mind immediately following the first thought was Corrie Ten Boom, and Fanny Crosby. So, I guess it would be a toss up.

[Scott Sherwood]

Peter.

So I could ask him what Jesus meant by "on this rock I will build my church." Peter's confession or Peter himself.

Since he is the one to whom the papacy traces its authority and was also in on the early days of the Church, I would want to know his views on authority, ecclesiology, and basically what it really means to be a Christian.

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

If I was a single guy I think it would be Queen Esther.

[Gina Stevenson]

Scott, didn't know ya had it in ya! ha! One of the funniest posts we've seen from you, you're usually so staid [not in a bad way ... just a laid-back, quiet fella a lot on here].

However, guess it's also a rather wise one ... and the single guys might take note, eh? After all, Esther did prepare for about a year, wasn't it, to meet up with the king? Now, that's what I'd call preeeparrred! :cool:

Sue it sounds like maybe you have an affinity for the visually impaired? My daughter is blind so I loved that two of your choices are also...

I have a hard time picking just one person - my picks may not be that spiritual, but would love to have a conversation with Jane Austen, Anne Frank, Ghandi, Mother Teresa....my grandparents one last time...

Welcome, Christa! You've got one that I've had on my list for awhile: Mother Teresa. Enjoying her humor, I'd tho't it might be neat when I heard that Erma Bombeck was in our area [Phx; they were in Scottsdale], once I heard that. But before I tho't much about it, she was gone. I'm sure there are others, but my thinking cap's not working right at the moment. ;)

[Sue Pyles]

Welcome Christa!
I am so sorry your daughter is visially impaired, but I am sure God gave her to your
family for a special reason. She will undoubtedly be a blesing to all the lives she will
touch.

Thank Sue...we made peace long ago with the fact that we live in an imperfect world - but are so thankful that God has been and continues to be with us through the uncertainties of life. He has already been glorified through her and we continue to pray for ways that He will be glorified in the future...she's an amazing little person! Blessings, Christa

[Jim Franklin]

I have always thought I would like to have seen the expression on Adam's face when he got his first look at Eve, long hair and all. Would it have been "Well what do we have here?"

For an hour I would like to spend some time with John Wesley.

[Laurie Florence]

The Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.

I love the "I have a dream" speech. It gives me goose bumps, even just reading it.

[Kevin Rector]

I've always wished to meet my great-grandfather, Floyd W. Nease (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_W._Nease), who died when he was 37.

Wow, you have people who have Wikipedia articles in your family tree.

Speaking of which, I know we have at least one Naznetter with a Wikipedia article - Tom Oord (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Jay_Oord)

[Kevin Rector]

For an hour I would like to spend some time with John Wesley.

I don't know, he might not have slowed down long enough to talk to you.

[BobHunt]

Esther prepared a year? Now thats a loooonnngg make up session!

[BobHunt]

I think I would like to meet my Grandfather, who was a Methodist church circuit riding minister who traveled by horseback, thru several communities every Sunday preaching 4 or 5 times every Sunday.

[Judy Hamilton]

Corrie Ten Boom to talk to me about forgiving those
who have dealt wounds to ones soul

or Mother Theresa to inspire me to embrace more compassion
for humanity

[Greg Farra]

John Wayne. :q)

My favorite movie star.

[Crystal Lutton]

I would have to say Deborah. I've had several people compare the ministry I do with her and I'd love to have the opportunity to sit and visit with someone I suspect is a kindred spirit.

[Greg Gates]

the apostle John.

Considering:
his relationship with Jesus
vision of end times and heaven
long life
his deep understanding of God's love and our call to love others
perhaps the most influential mentor/discipler ever...

he's at the top of my list.

[Wesley Smith]

Hands down, I would spend 1/2 hour with my Dad who died in 1973 at the age of 57. I felt like I was just getting to know him. The other 1/2 hour would be spent with my Mother who passed away in 2003. Since I knew Mom a lot better, I would most treasure that 1/2 hour with her. You can have all the famous people. Just give me my Mom and Dad!

Friend,

Wes

[Hans Deventer]

You can have all the famous people. Just give me my Mom and Dad!

That's OK, Wes, but my mom is still with me so that wasn't really an option. My dad passed away at 70 and though we had some quarrels in the past, at that time the relationship was very good. So I don't feel I have to capture up on anything.
