Could Jesus stop bullets?

[Captain Pirate]

What part of SON OF GOD do you not understand?

Don't sound so mad, not everyone is Christian. That and he was just a normal guy so...... I say he can't.

Ugh... You do realise the person you're quoting is right, Christian or not? The OP DID say:

Incidentally, this is assuming Jesus was the son of God and had his various powers.

Plus, don't act like you know for certain he was a normal guy. I fucking hate it when everyone states their belief, or lack of, as fact. It's mostly atheists, but some religious people too. It bugs the shit out of me, because nobody knows for certain. I don't know for sure God exists, just like Atheists don't know he doesn't.
Believe what you want, but don't act like you know for sure your belief is the true one.

And yet he could not prevent the Romans from beating the shit out of him just the same.

I think he could, but he would not.

 

[SimuLord]

Could God create a BFG so badass that even He couldn't fire it?

 

[Joepow]

He'd get hit, die, and come back to life later.

Like a comic book villain.

 

[Lukeje]

Isn't the point that he would stop the bullet by preventing it ever being fired at all?

 

[Sensenmann]

Lols. People are all like. He'd die to those, he died to nails. Thing is he wanted to die for the nails for us. Then people are like "he'd die again, since we sinned". Thing is he already died for our sins once and for all.

And as for Death, Jesus beat it, and will kill it in the end, it'll be all like "death, meet your paradox!". That's how awesome he is. So yes. He can dodge bullets, stop them, melt them in their path, make the gun backfire first off.

 

[Nouw]

He wouldn't have to, he could just turn the bullets into fish and eat them.

I like the way you think.

Jesus could do what he said, then celebrate!

No he couldn't, he was an ordinary man when alive.

 

[HandsomeJack]

Once

 

[6unn3r]

Since Jesus didnt exist....no.

 

[FogHornG36]

Ya he could, he would stop them by catching them with his body

 

[kickassfrog]

Ya he could, he would stop them by catching them with his body

What if they were .50 cals?

 

[darth.pixie]

This is the single most entertaining thread I've ever read.

I've seen a movie where he could do it. He also converted atheists...with his fists

It...it was a bad movie.

But he'd probably make the guns jam or something. This is something to ponder on.

 

[xdom125x]

He's the son of god, not god. His things are to help others. He could probably heal himself after being shot.

But most likely he'd die and come back 3 days later.

He is the son of God and also God, he is his own father. He has all of God's power Think of it as multiple personalities that pay attention to different things(yes, a schizephrenic(sic) god).
So, he could dodge a bullet if he wanted too. That man (supposedly): fought dragons; killed children for lack of respect; slayed(slew?) a dragon; and much more.(those examples are from multiple gospels that got cut out of the bible)

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

If you can dodge a nail you can dodge a bullet.

Winner.

Besides, we live in more cynical times these days. Even assuming that the second coming is true, Jesus would declare himself to be the son of God and instantly be carted away to be locked away in a nice comfy room with a large dose of happy pills.

 

[Gentleman_Reptile]

Jesus, the ultimate figue for a major religion, was nailed to a cross.

Thor, a Norse religious figure who wields a giant hammer.

COINCIDENCE?

 

[Arawn.Chernobog]

Nope, couldn't even dodge a bunch of Roman guards...

Unlike Thor, Thor would've kicked their asses and feasted upon their entrails, he'd bite the bullet and spite it back while engulfing it in lightning!

depending on what kind of gun. a pistol he would just move out of the way, an automatic he would just turn it into a super soaker, a minigun he would just turn the bullets into twinkies and replace himself with either glenn beck or dick cheney (a loudmouth or an immortal), a gatling gun from a ship or aircraft he would just turn etheral, wander to the nearest factory that produces straight to dvd movies and watch the fireworks ensue. but yes, he could, but you never know just which way he'll do it

 

[manic_depressive13]

It doesn't really matter. Even if it hits him, he can always respawn. It's just that this time the countdown will be longer and he may have to go repair.

Shouldn't this be in R&P?

 

[Amy Sorel]

I have never seen anything that could make me believe Jesus Christ son of God from the bible was a real person from real history.

Even if you believe the bible Jesus really happend in history, then it still shows that he had a mortal body that could bleed and be mortally wounded.
Fact: He did die in the bible. Just because he came back from the dead, doesn't mean he wasn't dead when he died on the cross.

He died from being beaten, stabbed, and nailed to the cross. I'm pretty sure that if this had really happend, he could have been hurt and died from being shot with a gun too.
