You have a way of reading my thoughts do you? Apparently you cant read my writing.
What I said and I thought it pretty plain, is that heroes are often flawed people and they do heroic things because of those flaws.
Did I say that he should get a pass when he acted a jerk? No.
Does his occasionally being a jerk make him any less a hero? No.
No one is perfect accept the All Mighty. So we all have to learn to accept each other warts and all.
Then we have to learn to rejoice in greatness in those of us who go above and beyond their flaws to achieve great things.

So heroes get carte blanche? Is that your position?

Your words are your thoughts and I interpreted them precisely. If you want to backtrack and ignore the obvious, it makes no difference to me. I can except warts but not given to me under the guise of heroism. If you want to accept blindly this sort grabbing your wifes ass thats not my problem, its hers. Along with your cowardice. If he grabs my wifes ass, thats his problem, like none hes ever seen. Guarandamnteed past heroics wont help him then.
You are correct. Every hero in the Old Testament was flawed, but God put him in the right place at the right time and used that flaw to glorify Himself (God) and to teach us about Himself.
