There are more people with intimate knowledge of who Superman is than those who know Jesus. Even Jesus was human he still had power over the physical (he healed people; Matthew 14:14, Matthew 15:28), the natural (he controlled the weather; Mark 4:39) and the metaphysical (he drove out demons; Mark 5:10-15; read minds; Mark 2:8). The scripture you quoted from Matthew 26:40-42 was directed at the disciples who fell asleep instead of praying like Jesus did. He was just as tired but knew the importance of focused prayer. Again, this article is all about pointing someone to Jesus who does not know who He is. Thanks Hello Samuel,

Scripture says, n i quote, "the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak"..superman has a weakness to..she's called loise lane..worse still..he can't stand a chance against cryptonite..if i watch Small vile..notice how he reacts to the red cryptonite..it makes him evil..a super villain..imagine living in a world where men had unstoppable fury!!! how about the green one?? sucks the energy out of him!! now..what do you think of superman?? if the man of steal has weaknesses after all..why would you want him for a hero?? real heroes know the limit of their powers.. real heroes need no alter egos..why should superman hide behind the mask of Clark Kent?? real heroes lay down their lives for those the love and those who hate them..there is only one man who fits this description..he's name is the Son of Man..a great hymnal goes,"looking unto Jesus, who is gone before" only the Son of Man can set the captives free.. can superman die on the cross and rise up in victory?? be careful who u choose to call a hero!!! well..in the spot light..the problem i have with this line of reasoning is that too many people believe in fictional characters..its called hero worship..despite the fact that superman is a well known action figure..he’s only a childhood fantasy man..no one has super human strength..even Jesus, the Son Of Man battled with human weakness..
