The Four Gospels/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

* [[A God Am I]]: "Before Abraham was, I Am." (Double points for invoking the name of [[God]] revealed to Moses in the Old Testament.) Quite possibly [[Justified]], if Jesus was, as He claimed, the Son of [[God]] himself.

* [[Angel Unaware]] / [[God Was My Co-Pilot]]: Appeared to His disciples after His death, but they did not recognize Him at first.

* [[Back ~~From~~ the Dead]]: "But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him."

* [[Back from the Dead]]: "But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him."

* [[Badass Beard]]

* [[Badass Pacifist]]: See [[The Determinator]] below.

Line 23:

* [[Deal with the Devil]]: Averted, though not for lack of trying on [[Satan]]'s part. (It helped that Jesus had [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness]].)

* [[Descend From a Higher Plane of Existence]]

* [[Determinator]]: The man once faced down an angry mob that wanted to throw him over a cliff, silenced them with a look, and walked right through without a scratch. Heck, even death itself [[Back ~~From~~ the Dead|couldn't stop him]].

* [[Determinator]]: The man once faced down an angry mob that wanted to throw him over a cliff, silenced them with a look, and walked right through without a scratch. Heck, even death itself [[Back from the Dead|couldn't stop him]].

* [[Dying Moment of Awesome]]: In the midst of {{spoiler|execution by torture}}, He [[Badass Pacifist|refused to take anesthetic]], managed to make arrangements for someone to look after His Mother, reassured a penitent thief that he would go to heaven, and forgave His executioners.

* [[Forgiveness Requires Death]]: With the twist that Jesus wasn't guilty, He was dying to get forgiveness for everyone else.

Line 55:

** There's also the time where the Pharisees asked if it was legal to pay taxes to Rome, hoping they could get Jesus arrested for his answer; Jesus outsmarted them with a simple answer of "if it belongs to Rome, give it to them".

* [[Take That]]: It's hard to read His words and not think He's talking about someone today, but He was more talking about the people of his time, their hypocrisy and blindness to injustice. But, since He's omnipotent, He very well could be talking about people today, so this can be [[Doubly Subverted]].

* [[Thanatos Gambit]]: He comes [[Back ~~From~~ the Dead]].

* [[Thanatos Gambit]]: He comes [[Back from the Dead]].

* [[Turn the Other Cheek]]: [[Trope Namer]]

* [[The Determinator]]: The man could. Not. Be. Stopped. Not by Legionnaires, not by crowds, not by endless humiliations and sufferings, not by death itself and all of the sins of ALL EXISTENCE.

Line 61:

* [[Team Dad]]: For His Apostles

* [[The Medic]]: He healed a lot of people.

* [[The Power of Love]]: One of Jesus's most remembered teachings is to love God and to love thy neighbor. Jesus emphasizes love as ''the'' most powerful thing in the universe. ([[Power of Trust|Faith]] and Hope being the two runners-up)

* [[The Un-Reveal]]: To settle a dispute, Jesus wrote something in the ground that apparently blew them away and made everyone stop fighting. This is the only recorded instance of Jesus ever writing anything. But none of the books ever tell us ''what'' he wrote, maybe because [[You Cannot Grasp the True Form|we couldn't understand it?]].

** The incident in question is recorded in John 8, when the people brought the woman who was caught in adultery in [[Running Gag|yet another attempt to trap Jesus by his own words]]. Commentators have suggested that what Jesus wrote on the ground was the accusers' own sins, as a way of calling them out for hypocrisy.
