Christchan is back up after maintenance! The flood errors should now be resolved. Thank you to everyone who submitted a bug report!

Hey. I'm the guy who made a thread a week ago asking some dumb questions to help me write a Christian action novel based on the rapture.

I did see all of your posts and they were a whole lot more informative than I was expecting! That was really nice of you to humor me. I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to respond and thank you, the thread died a lot faster than I anticipated, maybe it was deleted by a mod. (Surely it was seeing there's 20 pages…)

Anyway, hoping I can get you to answer just one final dumb question as I'm in the middle of writing this abomination….

How powerful is Jesus? Jesus is confusing to me. He's the son of God and a mortal, and also God himself at the same time? Okay. Whatever. I'll try not to get too caught up in trivial semantics, because what I'm really concerned with is:

How powerful is Jesus? What would a battle with him be like? Can he incinerate everyone in a battlefield instantly like God? Would he depend on man made tools like the rest of us? Drive around in a car, or levitate? What're we looking at here exactly? Would the second coming of Christ even have a physical form?

Finding it very difficult to fit him into my story because I just don't know the extent of his power, and having a hard time finding any info on this subject, as usual, which is understandable since this is definitely not the kind of stuff a church would concern itself with, I'm sure.

Well, considering the antichrist is just a man, and the highlight moment of the rapture is the showdown between Jesus and the antichrist, which is supposed to be an epic battle, can we assume Jesus is also more or less just a man?

You're not really giving a lot of incentive for giving answers by dragging down your own project.

As for Jesus' power, he can do everything obv. But for the book I suppose making him as man as possible would be best. Giving him those weird superpowers just makes him some marvel superhero. Look at his actions in the gospels, actually read them and you will find what he is truly capable of.

Please don't be so self-deprecating, anon. The path to hating yourself will eventually take its toll on your neighbors if you struggle to even love yourself. At the very least, it's not very funny and it puts you at league with Tumblr's brand of humor and fishing for compliments.

>Jesus is confusing to me. He's the son of God and a mortal, and also God himself at the same time?

He is fully God and fully man. Not a demi-god, not 50-50, but 100% God and 100% man. Do with this what you will in terms of assessing His power.

Rev 19

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.

17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;

18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

It's not Napoleon at Austerlitz, it's the God-man obliterating his enemies. Satan gets bound for 1000 years;

Rev 20

7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Jesus is God the Son, omnipotent.

>How powerful is Jesus?

Almighty. Since the Father created the universe through Him.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men." John 1:1-4.

"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we saw his glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." John 1:14.

>What would a battle with him be like?

He would levitate and fight with a Sword. Each slash capable to destroy all evil.

"And he had in his right hand seven stars. And from his mouth came out a sharp two edged sword: and his face was as the sun shineth in his power." Revelation 1:16.

"In like manner do penance: if not, I will come to thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth." Revelation 2:16.

>Can he incinerate everyone in a battlefield instantly like God?

Yes, he can. Because he is God.

>Would he depend on man made tools like the rest of us?

No.

>Drive around in a car, or levitate?

Levitation and teleportation and he would fly around with a white Horse.

"Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp[c] sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

KING OF KINGS AND

LORD OF LORDS. " Revelations 19:11-16.

>Would the second coming of Christ even have a physical form?

Yes. He will have a physical body just like he did 2000 years ago.

"Now Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said to him: We have seen the Lord. But he said to them: Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe. And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said: Peace be to you. Then he saith to Thomas: Put in thy finger hither, and see my hands; and bring hither thy hand, and put it into my side; and be not faithless, but believing. Thomas answered, and said to him: My Lord, and my God. Jesus saith to him: Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and have believed." John 20:24-29.

It proves that Jesus ressurected in his human flesh.

"Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, 11 who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”"Acts 1:9-12.

Greatest book ever written.

What's your background? I missed the last thread… Are you Christian? How far along is your book? I'd like to read it when it's done.
