Name the superheroes who could duplicate Jesus' miracles.
Of all the non-cosmic superheroes on earth, which ones could duplicate every single one of Jesus' miracles?
Here's the list.
Jesus had power over nature. Jesus exhibited power over nature when he turned water into wine, calmed the tempest, and walked on the sea (Jn. 2: 1-11; Mk. 4: 35-41; 6: 47-50).
Demonstrations of his power over the demon world. Jesus cured a demoniac (demon possessed person, Mk. 1: 23-27). He challenged and cured a violent demoniac and a demon possessed person who was both blind and dumb (Mk. 5: 1-13, Matt. 12: 22, 23).
Jesus displayed miraculous power over the material realm. Jesus manifestly displayed miraculous ability over the material in the feeding of the five thousand (Mk. 6: 37-44).
Jesus was triumphant over physical diseases and infirmities. Jesus healed the mother of Peter's wife of a physical abnormality (Mk. 1: 30, 31). Jesus healed "every sickness and every disease among the people" (Matt. 9: 35). He even restored sight to the blind (Matt. 9: 27-31).
Jesus demonstrated his power over death. Jesus raised Jairus' daughter, the widow's son, and Lazarus from the dead (Mk. 5: 22-24; 35-43; Lk. 7: 11-17; Jn. 11: 34-46).

Wouldn't water to wine fit into the reality control more than the power over nature?
And Jesus also predicted his own death. He's pretty freaking omniscient.
There's some better biblical feats than Jesus's though. One prophet, who was getting laughed at by a bunch of teenagers because of his baldness, decided to curse them in the name of the Lord. Immediately, two bears came from a nearby forest and killed something like 24 of the teenagers. The Bible is freaking hilarious.
Just because of the resurrection stuff, not very many poeple could. It'd take upper level cosmics, like Phoenix or something. Barring those feats, it would take telepathy, matter manipulation, weather powers... Still probably no one below herald level. Thanos could do a lot of it, but he would never, EVER feed 5000 people, if he can help it.

Now, you have to wonder just how many actual, serious Christians would be seriously offended by this... Jesus didn't need to get resurrected. He jumped off the cross, healed himself, and went apeshit on Zeus. It's like a freaking Chuck Norris story. I'd go as far as to say that this is pretty close to a bastardization of the Bible... This story being both inaccurate and purpose-defeating. Jesus was a human, in every aspect. He could get God to do some pretty sweet stuff for him, but he himself was human. That's the whole POINT of Jesus. Honestly!
Taken lightly, that's pretty freaking hilarious though. Jesus is hardcore.

There's a specific line between humor and bad taste. If you walked through Mecca with a sign that said "Allah is a terrorist", would many people think you're funny?

To some, it would be. Someone would still probably try to kill you if you walked through Mecca. I wasn't trying to be whiny about them getting the Bible wrong, I'm just saying that mocking religion is a line that one should not cross, even with the excuse of it "just being for fun". It's disrespectful, on par with the harshest of insults. Like calling some dude's mom a cheap whore.

What, you've never made a "last night with your ma!" crack? What do you do in those long, akward spaces between hello and goodbye?
Quite frankly, God is a big boy now and he ought to be able to take a fair ribbing from the hired help. People who can't tolerate the slightest poking at their "faith" are actually showing a lack of confidence, as if jokes like these could somehow damage God or something. And if he violates the tenets of his own faith in his response, then he's overcompensative AND a hypocritical prick.
And lastly, if his faith involves stoning someone to death for cracking a joke, then **** his faith and **** him, his religion isn't worth taking seriously.
I am a Christian and I find the pictures slightly offensive. Anyone else who is a christian and reads this thread may be offended and I have every right to report you. I won't but I hope this thread stops or I will do so.
