(no subject)

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.

I just figured that I wouldn't actually be able to do damage to anyone other than Jesus as neither of the others have physical manifestations and in the case of God, omnipotence would be hard to hurt anyway. God's omnipresence probably means that by taking out Jesus I'd be taking out a little bit of God too.

Also Jesus is pretty much banned from fighting back.
