Could Jesus stop bullets?

[senataur]

And yay God did say unto him his only son,

"When you are ready, you won't have to"

 

[Zachary Unkle]

If he can stop eternal damnation and be revived after crucifiction,I'm preety sure he can stop bullets.

 

[Shifty Tortoise]

If you can dodge a crucifix you can dodge a bullet... Welp, sorry Jesus

Not that it matters, he'd just respawn a few days later

 

[lacktheknack]

Jesus wasn't the messiah, he was a very naughty boy!


[sub]I'm so, so sorry...[/sub]

In all srsness: If it was God's will, then why not? He literally pushed his way through a crowd that was DESPERATELY TRYING TO MURDER HIM, so bullets don't look like a big stretch.

 

[Blank Kold]

No, he just gets back up after being shot, he's more an immortal reginirator than a matrix defying deity.


Though still quite fictional

Sick burn.

That aside, liars fall flat when faced with death. Not to rile anyone up, but flesh and muscle are flesh and muscle. Also, moving fast enough to dodge a bullet would break your bones and/or connective tissue.

Edit: Oh, stop not dodge. Them I'll once again go with the magical powers don't exist argument. No offense.

If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a bullet

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.

 

[spartan1077]

Oh cmon, he couldn't stop the Romans with their pointy bits of metal. You really think ol' Jebus could stand up to the ways of the 21st century?

Oh god
*wipes tears from eyes*
This...this is win! You can have a cookie.

Spoiler: Cookie

The cookie is a lie

This thread is...weird. And no he couldn't have.

 

[A Sense Of Decorum]

He wouldn't stop them per se, he'd absorb them and then shoot a giant ball of compressed lead back at the shootee's.

That would be a pretty cool way to die methinks, cannoned by Jesus.

 

[moose_man]

According to Catholicism(not me, but it goes with my beliefs)
Jesus=God
God=Omnipotent
Omnipotent=Bullet-stopping

 

[Xero Scythe]

I think the better question is

"can jesus swim?"

Oh dear God, I laughed at that one for 10 minutes straight. I'm probably gonna go to hell for that, but it was worth it.
In all seriousness, yes. Hell, he could probably convince the man to not fire in the first place. Or just stop thinking about the man about to shoot him.

 

[ImprovizoR]

He couldn't stop the nails when he was being nailed to a cross so I think it's safe to assume that he wouldn't be able to stop the bullets.

 

[Wereduck]

If he really was god/son of god then yes. He could stop them, turn them into gumdrops & eat them, or just stand there and laugh while they ricochet off or pass through his body. If he truly was divine then he only permitted himself to die in order to redeem mankind (i.e. by his own will).

Whereas if he was just a man, well...nice knowin' ya Jesus.

 

[Wereduck]

He wouldn't stop them per se, he'd absorb them and then shoot a giant ball of compressed lead back at the shootee's.

This = awesome.
The only reason Jesus might not do that would be to avoid comparison to the magnetic bullet-ball thing the prawn exosuit did in District 9. EVERYTHING looks lame when compared to the prawn chickenwalker.

 

[Bribase]

He couldn't even be hit by bullets.

You need to manifest in reality to do that.

 

[joshuaayt]

Of course he could. But, more importantly, he could probably take the single bullet, turn it into enough bullets to kill an entire group of hungry peasants, melt down the metal, sell it for maximum profit and then open a miracle caravan route.

 

[coolkirb]

Short answere yes with a but, long answere no with a if

 

[TheTaco007]

Let's debate religion, guys!

This is a good idea!

OT: I'm guessing he could probably have stopped him with his chest, but surviving is another question...

 

[coolkirb]

Short answere yes with a but, long answere no with a if

 

[Canid117]

Assuming the Bible is accurate? Yes because according to the Holy Trinity he is god and has access to all his powers.

Also he could smite the inventor of Captchas for various (all excellent) reasons...
