So I began reading the Twilight series,
by Stephenie Meyer, recently. I’ve heard a lot of hype about these
books. Some people love them, feeling that the relationship between
Edward and Bella is a wonderful portrayal of love. On the other end of
the spectrum are those who say it is an inaccurate, childish view of
what is more accurately described as “lust”. I even read an account of
a girl breaking up with her boyfriend because he “wasn’t enough like
Edward”. (Imagine his surprise when he learned that Edward is a
fictional vampire!)
 
So, here’s why Jesus is cooler than Edward Cullen:
 
Edward had to be saved by someone (Carlisle) and never truly died.
Jesus died, conquered death, and is living again.
POINT: Jesus.
 
Edward is immortal, but was born in 1901.
Jesus is eternal.
POINT: Jesus.
 
Edward left Bella.
Jesus will never leave us nor forsake us.
POINT: Jesus.
 
Edward sparkles in the sunlight.
Jesus is the Light.
POINT: Jesus. [But Edward does get a “neat-o” point for this ability.]
 
Edward fears that he will be taking Bella’s soul and robbing her of her humanity in trying to make her a vampire.
Jesus gives life abundantly and saves your soul.
POINT: Jesus.
 
Edward can run really fast.
Jesus walked on water.
POINT: Jesus.
 
Edward is nice to Bella’s father, who treats him rather rudely.
Jesus broke bread with Judas, who would betray him for 30 pieces of silver.
POINT: Jesus.
 
Edward has a perfect body.
Jesus is perfect.
POINT: Jesus.
 
Edward drinks blood to stay alive.
Jesus’ blood gives life eternal.
POINT: Jesus.
 
Edward was willing to die, rather than live without Bella.
Jesus did die, as an atoning sacrifice, rather than live without you.
POINT: Jesus.
 
 
Please feel free to add your reasons as to why Jesus is cooler than Edward Cullen!
