Except at the end of the Bible, which is technically the same Jesus. There, he pretty much kicked the ass of Satan and all his angels and all that. By your own logic, Jesus, even without the power of the trinity, is still the greatest soldier of all time. And that's not even getting into his other incarnations.

EDIT: And if you haven't seen the movie you wouldn't get the joke.

Where is this? Could you tell me the chapter, preferably the chapter and the numbers thing that goes with them?
What do you mean by other incarnations?

Okay, I don't get the joke, but it seemed to me that you did not present it to me as a joke, you presented it as a legitimate argument for why Jesus would win.

If the random capitalizations and the devouring of a well-known actor did not make it an obvious joke, I don't know what to tell you. As for Jesus, I don't have a Bible on hand, but it was before chapter twenty of Revelation I think. It was one of the two times Satan rose up.

And if we're going to include every incarnation of Jesus, as I said before, Paradise Lost Jesus beat all of Satan's army by himself at half strength. That's pretty crazy.

[Leafsnail]

It's a bronze collosus.

Even Jesus can't handle that.

[PTTG??]

You guys mean this guy, right?

I'm thinking that it's going to take more than a red helmet to protect you from several hundred tons of enraged bronze, Jesus, buddy.

Sorry, but I'm going to have to vote for the large alloyed fellow.

[Cheddarius]

I knew it was originally a joke, but when you told me that Jesus would win because of the explanation you put forward, I assumed you now meant it seriously.

Do you mean this part?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

11I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. 12His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter."[a] He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
       KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
 17And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, "Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 18so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and mighty men, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, small and great."

 19Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army. 20But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. 21The rest of them were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.

That part, I'm just... I don't even know. I'm not sure how it proves Jesus is powerful, unless you mean a different part?

And again: If we assume every incarnation of Jesus, we must also assume every incarnation of the Bronze Colossus.

A Story, By Cheddarius
Once there was a Bronze Colossus. He was even better than Jesus and would kill him in a fight. The end.

[CJ1145]

Now I mean literary incarnations and such. Paradise Lost is enough of a classic that it could be seen as a logical interpretation of Jesus. I don't mean every single fanfic and South Park episode must be included, just that the Bible isn't the sole source for Jesus in this context. A Bronze Colossus, for example, could be a mix of the best parts from each version of DF.

[Cheddarius]

...why?
When someone enters someone into this competition, they are thinking of a specific person. They aren't thinking of all the different portrayals of people. For example, if I were to submit "elephants" from DF, I would not be talking about the new elephants, or all the elephants from different versions combined, or even all the best parts of elephants. I would be talking about solely one type of elephants -

Well, drat. It appears I'm wrong. Nenjin really was talking about all the Jesuses combined. I concede the point.

Haven't you seen Jesus and the Argonauts that Robot Chicken did? Neither Jesus nor the Colossus can be killed! First round stalemate!

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I would argue that Paridise Lost is non-canon. As is Dante's Inferno/Purgitorio/Paradisio. How about we just vote on a version for each competitor and stick with it?

Bronze Colossus

Jesus Christ

The Bible
Paridise Lost
Dante's Inferno/Purgitorio/Paradisio

Everyone happy with this idea?

[Cheddarius]

I think the problem is the unclear definition of a "fight to the death" and what, specifically, an entrant really is. For this we could go to ToonyMan; however, I will take the stance that because the rules were unclear, one is free to submit anybody one wants, even combinations of different characters if one likes. Nenjin seemed to be submitting "Jesus with every power he's been depicted as having, even in things that aren't that notable, like Robot Chicken", and again, because the rules were unclear, I'll accept that submission as legal.

[ToonyMan]

The Rules, simple.
The Outcome, you decide.

_{popularity contest}


There would be no real way to judge an actual fight anyway, totally subjective.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I know, but we could end this argument with an offical vote on the version of each competitor.

[ToonyMan]

There is no official "version", whoever they are it's up to you.

[Cheddarius]

:/
So "Fight to the Death" is just false advertising?

[cowofdoom78963]

It's more like "Popular to the Death"

[subject name here]

bronze colossus is vulnerable now, also jesus can come back to life if he dies.
