For school, I’m reading Beowulf and I need help with this question-”Who do you reckon Grendel’s father is? Why?

Well because Grendel’s mother is a major figure but i don’t know anything about Grendel’s father.

Have you read the epic Norse poem Beowulf … and watched the travesty of a movie adaptation?

If so, what did you reckon of it? Obviously, I despised it. If I’d never read or studies the poem (which is *wonderful*) I may have loved the movie but, since I have, I am sickened by the bastardization of the poem and saddened to reckon that people who’ve never read the poem could reckon that this really is the tale of Beowulf. I despise it that the writers made the fantastic King of the Danes a poor drunk, the Queen a weakling, and Beowulf a braggart and wicked. I despise that Grendel’s father isn’t Satan (as he is in the poem) and I despise the thought of Beowulf making a deal with the Hag and fathering the Dragon.

Even the live action movie with Christopher Lamb (I reckon) wasn’t this horriffic.

Anyway, what do you reckon? And please, if you have never read the poem, don’t answer this question; I only want to know what people reckon in evaluation between the two.
Right. Because watching the movie in 3-D will really fix the horrible plot.

In Beowulf what do these lines mean (With Grendel’s 12 yrs)?

I’m particularly interested in the meaning of “Slayer of Souls” are they referring to the Devil? This quote is with they talk of Grendel’s 12 years of terror and people are praying for some one to help, but to who are they praying to? Is this considered Christian belief? Pagan?

“With many an outrage, many a crime,
The fierce lone-goer, the foe of man,
Stained the seats of the high-built house,
Haunting the hall in the hateful dark.
But throne or treasure he might not upset,
Finding no favor or grace with God.
Fantastic was the grief of the Scylding leader,
His spirit shaken, even as many a lord
Gathered in council considering long
In what way courageous men best could struggle
Against these terrors of sudden attack.
From time to time in their heathen temples
Paying homage they offered prayer
That the Slayer of souls would send them succor
From all the torment that troubled the folk.
Such was the fashion and such the faith
Of their heathen hearts that they looked to hell,
Not knowing the Maker, the mighty Judge,
Nor how to worship the Wielder of glory,
The Lord of heaven, the God of hosts.
Woe unto him who in fierce affliction
Shall plunge his soul in the fiery pit
With no hope of mercy or healing change;
But well with the soul that at death seeks God,
And finds his concord in his Father’s bosom.”

Chapter 8: summarize this chapter.

Chapter 10: With Hrothgar entrusts the welfare of his beloved Herot to Beowulf, what promise does Hrothgar make?

Chapter 11: What does Beowulf do to “even the odds” against Grendel? why does he do this? what evidence is there of a christian influence in this chapter?

Chapter 12: Provide numerous small quoted passages that demonstrate Grendel’s strength and feirceness. how does Beowulf struggle him?

Chapter 13: What can Beowulf’s men not help him in the struggle? what are they trying to do when they are “trying to open a path for his evil soul”? How does Beowulf ultimately defeat him?

Chapter 14: What is the purpose of referring to the even more ancient tale of Sigmund?

Chapter 16: describe the feast and the gifts.

Where is the alliteration(s) in this small-tale of beowulf?

Beowulf: Beowulf Hears of Grendel

But a fighter of Hygelac’s
heard of Grendel’s doings;
he was the strongest of men
alive in that day,
mighty and noble.
That man called for a ship,
said he would cross the ocean
and help the king who looked-for help.
Wise men urged him
to that adventure
though he was dear to them.
They examined omens
and whetted him on.
So the excellent Geat chose
the most courageous warriors,
fourteen of them,
and that crafty sailor
led them to the domain brim,
to the ship.
They readied the ship
on the waves under the cliffs
and the warriors stood at the prow
as the water wound against the sand.
The warriors bore
into the ship’s bosom
bright weapons,
fitted armor.
The men shoved
the well-braced ship
out on the journey
they’d dreamed of.
The foamy-necked ship
went out like a bird
so that the next day
its curved prow
had gone so far
that the seafarers saw land,
bright shore cliffs
and steep mountains.
Their journey was already over
and the Geat warriors
pulled their ship to the shore
and stood on land
in their rattling shirts,
their war-clothes. They
thanked God for an simple trip.
From his wall the sea-guard of the Danes,
protector of the cliffs,
saw bright shields
and ready war dress
coming over the gang plank
and he wondered
who those men were.
Hrothgar’s fighter rode
to shore on his horse.
Shaking a mighty spear, he spoke:
“Who are you, in armor,
who come over the sea-road
in that steep keel?
Listen: I guard here
so that no forces
hostile to the Danes
may raid. Never has
one so openly brought
a ship’s army, warriors,
without the permission of my kinsmen.
And never have I seen
a greater man on earth,
any man in armor,
than is one among you.
Unless I’m incorrect,
that is no hall-man,
just in armor–
his stature is peerless.
I wish to know your lineage now
so I know you are not spies
vacant into the land of the Danes.
You far-dwellers, seafarers,
hear my simple thought:
you had best rush to tell me
where you come from.”
Beowulf, leader of the host
unlatched his word-supply:
“As to kin, we are of the Geat state,
Hygelac’s hearth-companions.
My father was a leader well renowned
among the people: Edgtheow.
He stayed many winters
before he went away,
aged, from the court.
Each wise man readily remembers
him throughout the earth.
We have come with forthcoming hearts
to see your lord, Healfdene’s son,
protector of the people.
Be excellent counsel to us:
we have come on a fantastic errand
to the king of the Danes.
I reckon it foolish
to keep secrets. You know
if it is right what we have heard,
that a dark enemy in the nights
works violence and slaughter
on the Danes. . . . I don’t know
in kindness I may advise Hrothgar
how he, wise and well-known,
may overcome this enemy–
if change will ever come,
relief from this evil–
and how this seething sorrow
might become cool.
Otherwise, he will suffer tribulation
as long as he lives in that high place,
the best of houses.”
The protector of the coast,
still on his horse, spoke
(a wise shield fighter,
one who thinks well,
must judge two things:
works and words):
“I see that you are a band
forthcoming to the lord of the Danes.
Go forth, bearing arms and equipment.
I will guide you. Also,
I will order my men
to protect your ship,
that new-tarred boat on the sand,
until it bears you again
back over the water streams
with its curved wooden neck,
back to the land of the Geats–
if it be granted that you
endure the battle.”
They left then the well-made ship
pulling at its rope.
On the gold-adorned helmets
figures of boars shone,
those guards over war-like minds.
The men excitedly marched until
they saw that ornamented hall,
the finest building on earth,
that glittered light over many lands,
where the mighty one waited.
The one courageous in battle pointed
toward the resplendent hall;
the guard of the coast turned
his horse and said with them:
“It is time for me to go.
May the Father Omnipotent hold you
safe and signal in kindness!
I will go back to the sea
to hold against hostile bands.”
I know it looks very long. But I only need one model of an alliteration.
Do not worry. You are not HELPING me do my homework. I need to further elaborate on the classification of these words by myself. The homework assignment is not “help me find one alliteration” It’s more complex than that.

Be ye as perfect as God is: Genesis 17:1 … Matthew 5:48 … Hebrews 6:1 … 1John 4:18 … Revelation 22:21?

Is anything less than never fail I don’t know a fail-u-are?
If a man puts away child things, no Childish-adults?
If we place away laws, then no law, sin, or death sting?

Psalms 82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and children of the most High?

Why so so many Christans reckon it’s evil to believe we become like God… that we ultimately can become gods?

1.To become heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, being glorified together (Romans 8:14-18)
2. As sons (and daughters) of God, to inherit all things that the Father has (Revelation 21:7)
3.To become one with Christ, as Christ is one with the Father (John 17:20-23)
4.To sit with Christ on His throne (Rev. 3:21)
5.To receive a glorified, immortal body like the body that Christ has (Philip. 3:21)
6.To partake of the divine nature and be given all things pertaining to life and godliness, receiving glory (2 Peter 1:3-4)
7.To be made – in some way – like Christ when He returns (1 John 3:2)
8.To be made kings and priests unto God and his Father (Rev. 1:6)
9. As spirit children of God, to become partakers of his holiness (Heb. 12:9-10)
10.To be exalted by God (1 Peter 5:6)
11.To become perfect, even as our Father in Heaven is perfect (Matt. 5:48)
.
.
.
In no way am I (or the scriptures) saying that we can replace God, just that we can become gods… as the Bible and Prophets point toward.
Linda R: you didn’t read all of my question…

I said WE DON’T BECOME GOD WE BECOME gods
Oogleboogle…

I didn’t say we become gods through our own merit… only through Christ.

Believers – Based upon these scriptures, eternal security?

Take a look at that scripture and the surrounding text. Clarify how that means that a person cannot lose their salvation if they do not overcome?

Revelations 3:1-12

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelations%203:1-12;&translation=31;

Also, look at the passages about the sheep and the goats Matthew 25:32-41

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2025:32-41&translation=31

And Revelations 21:11-15

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelations%2020:11-15;&translation=31;

Revelations 21:6-9

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelations%2021:6-9;&translation=31;

Clarify how in looking at those passages you can sincerely say that a person can be saved and if they are not living for the Lord, will not lose their salvation?

In particular, the chapters in Revelations that talk about immoral people, that does not say those who are saved. It says those who are in sin will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Religious and non religious people…?

In Revelations 21:6 it refers to water as life in a manner. Could this not submit to the theory of Evolution that we came from single cell organisms INSIDE water?
IF this does submit to Evolution, does it not prove something of God’s existence?

CATHOLICS ONLY! READ DISCRIPTION BEFORE ANSWERING!?

Why do Catholics say God and Jesus are so merciful and loving. End reading before you answer. I have found two Bible versus that can prove they aren’t as merciful and loving as they are claimed to be. First one is about Jesus:
Mark 11:11-19
11 Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.

Jesus Curses a Fig Tree and Clears the Temple Courts
12 The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. 14 Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.
15 On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and started driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, 16 and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. 17 And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’ [a]? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’ [b]”

18 The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and started looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his instruction.

19 When evening came, Jesus and his disciples [c] went out of the city.

That doesn’t signal so loving. Cursing the fig tree because it wasn’t the fig season? Overturning stands? Not vey loving.

Now God not being as loving and merciful as perseived:
6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the parched I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. 8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

That is Revelations 21:6-8. How is that loving and merciful? He is cleary showing favourtism to certain people. All the people that don’t believe everything he says will be thrown into the sulfur and have a second death? Is that merciful?

Thanks for reading,
~Templar Rock!
Paul Cyp, I see what you’re saying. But you mentioned “self-destruction.” In that Revelations excerpt, God, who is “merciful and loving” is killing his own children. You can’t honestly believe that killing one’s own children is loving and merciful.
The amusing part it, I still believe in God. Just not how Christians described him. I believe in One God, but I don’t believe he is as merciful and as loving as described. Feel free to yell at me and say whatever you want. All you die-hard Catholics, I am not changing my mind.
Wow Nikkimings. You insult me for having my own beliefs? People like you are the reasons I don’t agree with most of the Catholic faith. Thinking if the person doesn’t agree exactly with the Bible, they are “ding bats” and “go to hell.” If you insult to try to convert, it won’t work. If you insult to get your point across, how come you don’t go to hell as well for being rude and prejudice?

Why did Jesus like the rich young ruler?

Mr 10:21 KJV –

Then Jesus beholding him loved him,

and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

Does Jesus like each of us individually?

I’ve recently stared reading The Excellent Book. There are a lot of songs and sayings and even bumper stickers of sayings that says “Jesus likes (me, us, you.) ” The only Scriptures I’ve seen is Jesus saying that God likes us, but nothing about himself. I haven’t read it all, so I’m sure it’s in there somewhere; but I was wondering if Jesus‘ like for us is personal. Does he like each one of us individually? And does he like each individual equally? If you could cite scriptures, that would be very helpful.

Thank you!

Does JESUS like me as much as HARRY POTTER does?

Aggravate Potter willingly sacrificed his life to protect us from Voldemort, who would have ruined us all. (Aggravate’s death didn’t stick though).

Jesus sacrificed his life to protect us from ***his own wrath.*** (The death didn’t stick either). It seems that since Jesus only saved us from Himself, he doesn’t like us as much as Aggravate Potter does. Aggravate Potter never wanted to torture and ruin humanity.

Whats the best way to spread the like of jesus to everyone in the planet until they all believe like I do!?

Is it incorrect to feel so much like for everyone of gods son’s and daughters that you sometimes just want to force them to grasp the one truth, That Jesus likes them and only through him will they ascend into heaven and not burn in the pits of hell!

How much does my beloved lord Jesus like me?

i know how much he does but i need to hear it from a right christian please.
God Bless You = )

Need Book Recommendations please!?

Can you please recommend a excellent book for this circumstance? Looking for a book that helps clarify the “leaving family before cleaving to wife” transition. A book that clarifies excellent boundaries. I need something that would help teach a man how to distance overprotective and clingy female family members as he prepares to receive a wife and start a family. Christian-based books ideal but not necessary. Thank you!!! Please give a small information on the book you recommend also, as this will help the choice on it’s appropriateness.

A Fantastic Christian book? birth hegemony?

That talks about how we as women shouldn’t take birth hegemony and leave it up to God?…I looked up Be fruitful and Multiply by Nancy Cambel but I was wondering if there is anything else? I just got the book “Everyday Lies women believe” can anyone else tell me a fantastic book on Family UNplanning?

Do you reckon that Aggravate Potter books are appropriate for Christian children?

I don’t see the problem with them as long as the child is ancient enough to know the difference between fantasy and reality. I reckon it’s fantastic that kids are reading and expanding their vocabularies and imaginations. But I know that a lot of Christian families reckon these books are terrible for their children and I want to know what some of you reckon.

i need a compelling book for christian teenagers?

i grew up in a christian family but didn’t accept christ into my life until only about two years ago. I am in a public highschool, and for the most part, am a complete weirder to my life at home. i feel so tired of being a christian, but i know this is incorrect. lately, i’ve been listening to excellent uplifting christian composition to try and get myself back with god, but nothing really pops out at me. i don’t want a devotional book, i just want a book that is not bible verse with bible verse. i’ve tried chicken soup but i did’nt like it. any spiritual books for teenagers that give really fantastic intakes amd lessons on life as we live it? preferably for girls. i like jesus so much and i have gone through many storms trusting Him, but i want my lif to be completely Christ-to the top and i want all my non-christian friends to wonder why i am different. as i said before, i like my God so much and am striving to try to make my life a beter model of His redemption and like.

How can I tell my Christian family that I don’t reckon God is real?

My sister is a total Christian. I have always tried to be a Christian but I just can’t do it.

How can I tell her I don’t believe in God without her freaking out?

Well here’s my belief: I belief that I when I hear something I question questions about it if it doesn’t make sense to me. And religion makes no sense to me. I have tried for years to believe it all. I go to church. I read Christian books. I try so hard, but I just cannot be a Christian.

She would weep and we would struggle and never get along again. I just can’t live this way. I live each week of my life vacant to church, reading books, and giving my money to the church.

Christianity makes no sense to me. I wish it did. But it doesn’t. Can someone please talk to me? A Christian who can help me?

I am wayy overwhelmed. Can someone help me find a place to start?

jesus christ by groundbreaking new.?

i really like that song, but i don’t get the meaning of it.
what is it really about?
dread? depression? idk

Jesus Christ by Brand New?

Can anyone find this song on a composition myspace? if so, please let me knowww! Gracias in advance :]

Does anyone know some songs that are like Jesus Christ by Brand New or Iris by Goo Goo Dolls?

Jesus Christ by groundbreaking new?

What does it mean to YOU.

when I was vacant through a dark time (lol like link months ago for about a year and a half) I would listen to this song and drink alone.

I reckon it is so gorgeous. I am not even religious, but it made me reckon about my life and how I was living it.

I would call drinking, “riding the gold chariot”

I would get into this state of mind where I was niether alive or dead. But kind of just “floating” and lost in my own head. Drinking.
same here. I went to go see them with my sisters and bff and her husband back in dec. So freaking incredible. just..there songs touches a place in my heart and soul.

WE ALL GOT WOOD AND NAILS.
oh I just nickname it riding the gold chariot..because well I did hahaha

Brand New – ‘Jesus Christ’ video?

Does anyone know if and where you can see the video for Jesus Christ? In an interview with Jesse Lacey he says, “Yeah, it’s weird…we just finished shooting our video for Jesus [Christ] which is…it was kind of…us being on video seems very unnatural to us”. So does this mean there is a video? Or did it not really get made in the end?

Are stupid people who ignore Morrison’s “The End” times insight just living in a Ship of Fools?

The End is near and Jim was clear.

Why do so many people waste time with all these phoney supposed “end-time” prophets when Jim predicted this all long before cable tv.

The Scripture:

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I’ll never look into your eyes…again

There will be no “safety” people, no need for “elaborate plans”, its all coming to an end soon! Real soon…anytime now….and that will be when Mr. Mojo rises to wipe out sexually insecure religious freaks and make a new orgasmic order of higher beings.

Can you tell me about end times prophecies and predictions?

Many believers of different religions say the time is near, bibles show the predicitions, some people even have dates.

Can you all tell me why and how you have this belief, texts, scripture, signs etc

Christians: What prophecies have been fulfilled that are written in the bible? (not end time prophecies)?

dont just say what they are. Use scripture.
I meant use scripture along with your answer

Why are there so many competing theories of Eschatology, End Times, and Millennialism?

Biblical passages predicting the future are ambiguous. The events themselves are open to many interpretations. There is no clear indication of either their timing or sequence. Some Christians believe that “millennium” does not mean a time interval of exactly 1,000 years. Rather they know it to submit to an indefinitely long interval of time. Some Christians interpret events mentioned in the Christian Scriptures as descriptions of real endeavors in our future even as others interpret them symbolically and/or as events that have already occurred

There are a fantastic many conflicting beliefs about the End Times. A lot of intra-denominational and inter-denominational rivalry has resulted from disagreements about End Time insight.

For model, the Roman Catholic Church and most road and liberal denominations do not have expectation that a Rapture will occur in the way anticipated by many fundamentalist and other evangelical faith groups.

is the end of times a insight or conspiracy?

are many of here believe in the end of times like’s what it tells in the Holly Scriptures?… i guess it’s right because God tell’s it so… but how will gonna be it happen?… by natural calamities? or man made?… alien intervention like crazy wicked people trying to make people believe or them itself?… i just wonder if the conspiracy revealed in the internet about this so called seret societies and the illuminati is not just a legend and its not only a mere controversial, and i wonder why it make’s like it so fascinating, but that they even just not let people or them to give a clear information and a right dissimination about this thing…im still curious at this time and could hardly beleive but its still can’t change my faith neither the planet,.. God already save us from the cross,.. God bless all….

Where in the bible does is say: faith without works is dead AND works without faith is dead?

Christians – do you believe faith without works is dead?

One of the things I find least appealing about Christianity – aside from it being exclusive rather than inclusive – is the number of people I meet at least around here that just talk the talk.

The Roman Catholics (for those of you pope-o-phobes who don’t contain Catholics as Christians) and the few Buddhists around here certainly walk a wide, inclusive path here.

Any thoughts ?
Wretched if I made you feel defensive, but I just came from coffee with a group of highly spiritual people – non Christians for the most part.

Faith without works is dead? Not who is right…what is right?

“faith without works is dead?” I don’t want to know whether you reckon Mormons have it right and Christians have it incorrect, or vice versa…I want to know who else seems to grasp that both sides stumble because of the classification of “works.” And no anti-religious Zeitgeist speculations from people who have read neither the Bible or Book of Mormon please. I mean lets be real, Christ is a necessary aspect of our fuctioning society…we’d still be in the dark ages without faith…or living under oppression in our mud houses at best.

Faith without works is dead? Would the faith be grace if law is not of faith? Would works be mercy and concord?

Galatians 3:12
the law is not of faith

Hebrews 11:6
But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]:
for he that cometh to God must believe that he is,
and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

James 2:20
But wilt thou know, O vain man,
that faith without works is dead?

James 2:26
For as the body without the spirit is dead,
so faith without works is dead also.

Paul, Peter, Jude
By his grace, mercy and concord are multiplied

Revelation 22:21 (The End)
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

So does the allegory for “faith without works is dead”
mean grace without mercy and concord is law (dead),
if the law is all vanity and vexation of Spirit (Grace),
and the legalists are vain people who know not that
grace is suffcient means no law at all is vital?

FAITH without WORKS is dead being alone. what does this mean if WORKS are out?

James 2:20
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

James 2:26
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Romans 3:28
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

*Are the WORKS of the LAW in or out?

Romans 3:27
Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

Galatians 2:16
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ

Galatians 3:10
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse:

Why are you a doctor or why do you want to become a doctor (MD)?

Don’t just say because I want to help people because you can help people as a social worker, teacher, etc.? Also, why specifically a doctor, why not a nurse, a physician assistant, etc. if you’re interested in a career in health care. Anyone is welcome to answer as long as they can articulate it well and answer the question properly.

Why Doctors have become men eater eater?

Just to doctors :Why did you choose to become a doctor? What kind of person should you be to become a doctor?

Honest answers please .
Thankyou

Why did you choose to become a doctor?

Just a general question about why you have chose to become a doctor. Or for those who are already doctor‘s, why did you choose to become one?

What inspired you to become a doctor?

Something about me, I was a Busecon major that switching to Bio because I want to get into medicine. I went to medicine because I want to save lives, stay on my feet, and learn each single day with many different case, but I just wanted to know why you became a doctor.

Why won’t my truck power brake?

I have a 1993 Chevy C2500 350 5.7 liter and it has the stock 16.5 tires on it and it won’t power brake no topic how much you give it gas now if you place it in reverse and try it will burn the tires down I know the truck has the power because if you just step on it from a dead stop it’ll burn the tires down but just won’t power brake vacant forwards also i don’t know if it’s related but when you set the parking brake all the way down it won’t go no where no topic how much you give it gas vacant forward but again if you place it in reverse its like there is hardly no resistance. Any Thoughts?
Really I have a 4.10 gear ratio

Did I spend too much on this 1984 Dodge Truck?

I just bought a 1984 4 door (crew cab) long bed dually Dodge Ram custom 350 in brilliant shape with a freshly fully rebuilt 360 gas engine, Brand spankin new tires all around, and an extra set of rear doors. for $800. My buddy has an 86 single cab small bed with first 360 and it needs some work, but he paid $800, So I’m guessing I didn’t do too terrible. Either that or he was really ripped off. I have never seen one of these trucks for sale before so I’m curious of what they sell for. Did I get a decent deal? I’d have to assume the 16.5” tires cost a excellent amount, and the rebuilding of the engine was atleast $500.
the dually is a 1 ton

Should I buy a 4×4 or a 4×2 first truck?

This truck is vacant to be my first vehicle I thinking of getting a diesel Ford Powerstroke or Dodge Cummins. I found a nice Powerstroke but its 4×2 and ive found a nice cummins that’s 4×4. The cummins is about $1000 more.

I live in North NJ and we get quite a bit of snow. So im just wondering if I were to buy the Ford could i just place off road tires on it and add some weight in the back and it be fine. I don’t plot on vacant mudding possibly pulling a fiber glass boat.

Whats your opinion 4×4 or 4×2

Additional Details
Would adding weight and off road tires help allot or is the 4×4 just better. Also does diesel help with snow or does it make no difference if it gas in snow.
