Not so with The Bible. Yes,a human being can be swallowed by a great fish or whale and survive. Listen to the credible story of a man recently interviewed.
He was a bit sore and received medical attention. There are somethings which are beyond human reasoning but miracles are happening every day! I see this as God the Creator of life in action! I found a typo in a post I left just a few minutes ago. I'm unable to edit and correct as my post is being checked?
The biggest problem of humanity is applying reason where reason is needless. None knows for how long the baby was in that plastic alive. In my understanding it is only God who preserved the life of that baby for a future purpose not known to people today. If people have intelligence i invite them to the wisdom of not disputing the existence of God and his miraculous powers.
I dont think there is anyone who can explain why they are alive in the same conditions where others have die. Oh you guys are hopless. Faith is faith and nothing isimpossible So God closes starving lions mouths and three you g men are thrown into a firery furnace andJesus is shown all the kingdoms by Satan.
Let's remember God has done what pleases him, not science. Okay, so the story of Jonah would be laughed at If someone were to go on the news, today, and say he just got back from a whales stomach. None of you Christians would believe him.
Why do you only have faith in stories from 2, years ago, but have no faith in stories from today unless told to by your pastor, minister, priest or whatever, to believe? I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Well 1 good reason Christians who actually read their Bible might not believe current day miracles is that there are prophesies that state that miracles like that would be done away with after the time of the apostles until the end days.
The reality is that Jonah is written in the style of satire. Think the Saturday Night Live of the Bible. Satire takes realities and blows them out of proportion to prove a point. It's a beautiful literary technique that ultimately serves the theological purpose of the book to us on a platter. To the scientists point, humans can't survive in a whale's stomach, but the stomach of the whale simply satirizes the bottom of the bottom that a human experiences when they presume to run from God's purposes in this world.
Cows don't repent. The city of Nineveh wasn't a 3 days walk We conservative Christians would do well to maintain the inspiration and authority of scripture without checking our brains at the door. Jonah is not a satire any more than the resurrection of Jesus is a satire. I hate it when politically correct people, whether they be scientists, analysts or, sadly clergy try to explain away a miracle in the Bible!
You know not because you believe not. Faith cannot ne explained away and neither can miracles. Jesus died. Jesus rose again. You can't explain that, how can you explain Jonah, Noah, Sodom and Gomorrah, David and Goliath, Moses and the Exodus and related plagues and miraculous protection of the Jews It is not possible to explain by reason because the very nature of a miracle defies reason!
So, yes, I believe the story of Jonah is literal because the same God who raised Lazarus and Jesus and others! I find it very sad to hear a man of God say that the story of Jonah was satire. God is God an I know him to be a wonder working God. Debra, you hit the nail on the head.
Miracles defy reasoning. I too believe the story of Jonah is literal because our almighty God can easily protect Jonah in the belly of a whale. Just like God protected Daniel from the lions in the lions den. But if they did accidentally take you into their mouths, what would happen? They would spit out the one handful of rice as soon as it entered the mouth.
We also threw Sargasso seaweed in front of them and they spit that out also. But what about toothed whales? They do sometimes swallow prey whole, so you could fit down their esophagus. Sperm whales sometimes swallow squid whole, so it could definitely manage a human. The story says that aftter sailors chased a sperm whale for several hours, the whale caused a few men to be pitched in to the ocean.
Then, well, this happened:. Is it a plane? No, it's the first bisexual Superman. Alia Bhatt's ad sparks debate. More From Viral and Trending Chemicals are not all bad.
The height of fashion. Cooking up a storm. Picture perfect. But luckily for us, whales are generally not that interested in humans. If you are going to worry about anything eating you in the water, it should probably be sharks.
