Jesus Vs...

In response to the fundies moaning about the resurrection of Gandalf I present this religious vs.

Note, as the bible has jesus come back wounds and all, decapitation and or incineration will kill him permantley.

All biblical powers? Ok, Jesus wins. He can kill with a word, and did it to a date tree because it didn't have any fruit. So balrog charges at him, he tells it to die, balrog drops dead the end.

In one of the gospels. It's not like I have the fuckers memorized of anything, I just remember it because of the huge conflict in saying vs doing it presents. "Don't killl.... DIE TREE!"

Mk.11:13-14, 20-21
"And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it. And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away."

Another thing... just because Jesus can shrivel a date tree in a day's time doesn't mean that he can instantly shrivel a balor... WHich means that Jesus will be smeared all over the sidewalk like an overripe pumpkin dropped from 22 stories up.

Technically he only dried the tree out.... :twisted:

*Watches the balrog laugh in Jesus' face at the drying out effect*

Jesus died of exposure. The Balrog would slaughter him

Jehovah can't stop Iorn Chariots.
Jg.1:19
"And the Lord was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron."
Similarly I made no mention of Jehovah in this. he isn't there. If you want I could do Eru(middle earth's god) Vs Jehovah... :twisted:

Pre-resurrection or post?

Pre-resurrection, his exercise of deity was limited less-dramatic miracles (i.e. various and sundry healings, food multiplication, matter transmutation) with the exception of resuscitations (most notably Lazarus).

Post-resurrection, Christ exhibited more powerful attributes of deity, such as teleportation, walking through walls, and levitation.

Ultimately, the argument hinges on the supposition of the divinity of Christ. If He is divine, then it's no contest. If He's "just a good man," then it's still no contest...just in the other direction.

He did it to prove a point. There's a difference between murdering sentients and killing a tree.

Other version it is.

So what if Jesus can kill a tree? I can do that with a bottle of Round-Up!

It hardly means he can take down a man with a gun, never mind any typical sci-fi opponent.

The Balrog isn't exactly a demon. I'd like to see what feat people have in mind when they say Jesus can kill a Balrog. Drying out a tree?

In Revelation, Chapter 1 (I have no fucking clue how to do the ratio quote thingy), Jesus has the power to look pretty damned freaky:

"His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength."

I'm no combat expert, but I question the usefulness of a sword in the mouth. In Jesus' favor, he does use ninja stars, indicating that he is either a ninja or at least trained in the ninja arts. I will also have to assume that brass feet are made to kick. His eyes are on fire, which may prove to be less help than hindrance. And his hair is white, because I don't know.

Now let's look at the Balrog. He's big. He's made of fire. He's mad as hell and he's not going to take it anymore. Unfortunately, he falls like a brick, whereas Jesus walks on water.

I give it to Balrog, but it'd be a fun fight to watch. Especially the part where Jesus dies (again).
And you may ask yourself, 'Where does that highway go to?'
