Further to my last post, [livejournal.com profile] madaussie and I were discussing the Exodus 4:24 situation; getting into a barroom brawl with God (no, really!)

The question is this; in that situation, imagine the whole Trinity has turned up. Who do you try and take down first? Your options are;

God.
Strengths: omniscience, omnipotence, smiting.
Weaknesses: arrogance, jealousy, obviously contradictory attributes.

Holy Spirit.
Strengths: can make you pregnant unexpectedly in some Gospel continuities.
Weaknesses: unknown, but seems kind of wussy.

Jesus.
Strengths: could turn all water in your body into wine.
Weaknesses: holes in wrists, ankles limit mobility. Can probably be kneed in balls.

If you can avoid the serious threat, that sounds good on paper; but I suspect God's aim would be rather too accurate, which means that you have to withstand a constant barrage of smiting from the opening of hostilities until you take that sucker down. Minimising that length of time is thus paramount.

As for Jesus rising again, pah. Camp on his restart point and you're sorted.

God is often a bit indiscriminate - you could start the fight when next to some Midianites.

Not sure there's many left - he may be indiscriminate, but that smiting tends to hurt.
