The Similarities and Differences Between Thor and God

Thor and the Life of Christ can be looked in the same way. There ar correspondentities between the two mickle and there are withal many differences. There is a common theme between both Thor and the Life of Christ. Prominence, humility, suffering, and exaltation, in that order, are themes that happen to both Thor and Jesus. There are many similar relations that connect to both of these people but are presented in assorted way. Prominence was big in both of the people. Thor was the Norse god of thunder that everyone bowed d receive to. This relates to Jesus because he is also a high embodiment that Christians praise and worship.The level of prominence that these two people have is very similar to each other. Thor lives in a place c eithered Asgard. This is the home of the gods and is very similar to Heaven. Heaven and Asgard may look different but they serve the same purpose. They are both places of High Divine and a place of peace. This is a analogy between the two story line s. One difference between the amounts of Prominence that each one had was that Thor thought too highly of himself. He was very arbitrary in the beginning of the movie and even defied his own fathers orders.The difference between Thor and Jesus is that Jesus did non count himself equal with God. This is told in Philippians 25-11. Although Jesus was in the form of God he did not count equality with God therefore, he became a mortal and was natural in the likeness of men. Unlike Jesus, Thor was cast down to Earth as a punishment. He was punished because he disobeyed his fathers command and went to Jotunheim and started war. Because he did this, Odin free him of his powers and banished him to Earth. This is a contrast between Thor and Jesus because Unlike Thors banishment, Jesus did it out of love.These acts brought humility to each person. Thors punishment was world stricken from his powers and adequate a mortal. This means that he can no longer fly or has the mighty power of his hammer. He is only human. This brings a type of humility because he has been degraded down from a god to a weak human. He must learn to cope with his human body. Thor no longer had the capability of a god but had the strength of a human which was really weak compared to his god form. This is very similar to Jesus because he was also born with the likeness of men. This means that Jesus was no longer the all-powerful being that people worshiped.Instead he was a mortal that lived upon men. He had limitations as wellspring and face up many temptations in his life as a human. Humility was present because of the suffering and rejection that Jesus received and accepted from people. Many people do fun of Jesus. When Jesus did miracles he was made fun of. He was rejected by his own people and was beaten and mocked by the Roman soldiers. The most racking humiliation that Christ received was his crucifixion. This is humiliation and suffering to Jesus. Although Thor did not receive as pa inful humiliation that Jesus received his still received his own form of humiliation as a mortal.An example can be gather upn when Thor went to bear his hammer. After beating up all of the guards, he ultimately could not pull out his own hammer. This gives an example of humiliation because he was not able-bodied to pull out his hammer even though he had in the end found it. This shows the suffering that Thor had to endure because he could not take the hammer even though it was in his grasp. This is the ultimate source of humiliation because Thor could not get the one thing he desired most. The humiliation between both people leads to suffering. Jesus Christ and Thor both suffer tremendously throughout their journeys.It is unimagined to see how much they can both endure despite how much pain they go through. Jesus suffered a lot as his time of being a human. He was made fun of and was also beaten upon by the Roman soldiers. This is suffering because Jesus went through pain. Thro ughout Jesuss suffering, He was able to stay obedient to God until his death on the beat. It says this in Philippians. Jesus did stay obedient despite all of the suffering that he had went through. It was essentially torture for Jesus but he was able to stay obedient. All of Jesuss pain that he took was an example of suffering and he did it all to save peoples sins.This suffering also relates to Thor because he also suffered during his time as a human. Thor suffered because he had to watch his friends get tossed around by the destroyer. The destroyer resembled death in the movie. The destroyer came for Thor when Loki ordered to kill Thor. Thor experienced suffering from the Destroyer and in the end faced death. Thor accepted death and faced it face to face and ended up dying. He was willing to die in order to save his friends. This relates to Jesus because he was able to die and go on the cross in order to save His people and the peoples sins.Jesus did not care at all what people did to him. When Jesus was on the Cross He said, Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing. Jesus was able to find sympathy until the very end of his suffering. Thor follows the same storyline as Jesus because he also dies in order to save his friends. Although the deaths are different it gets the same point across that both people went through suffering in order to save the people they cared about. This suffering finally leads to exaltation. The exaltation of Jesus is similar to Thor as well. When Jesus was dying He said, It is finished. Thor, in the time of his death, also said, It is done. This shows that they have both accomplished in what they were sent on Earth to do. Thor was able to grow as a person and was able to sacrifice his own life in order to save others. Jesus was able to be obedient until the end was able to die on the Cross just so he could save the world of its sins. This leads to exaltation because Thor ends up getting the hammer and resur rects. He becomes a god again and defeats the destroyer also known as death. Jesus rises afterward the third day and ascended into Heaven. Jesus also conquered death.These are very similar because they both came back to life after their deaths and went back to their original high positions. Jesus was with God in Heaven and Thor got his god powers back. This is exaltation because they have been praised with the sacrifices they have made and have been rewarded. Before Thor returns to Asgard he tells that he will come back for Jane. This is similar to Jesuss saying of how he will return for his people. The Tagline of these two movies is two worlds one hero. both Thor and Jesus fit this tagline. Thor is the hero of two worlds. The two worlds are Asgard and Earth.Jesus is also the hero of two worlds. Instead of Asgard it is Heaven and Earth. He is a hero to the people of earth because he was able to save the world of their sins. This leads people to look for the hero for guidance. In Th or, Jane looks for Thor every day and make its her goal to see Thor again. This is similar to followers of Jesus. The followers of Jesus want to know Jesus more and are always finding ways to find him and get walk-to(prenominal) to him. The tagline of Thor and Jesus Christ are very similar. Although they are told in some different ways the ultimate view of each are the same.
