tosnat:

Cant go through the stress of quoting all stupid posts.... oh faithless and perverse generation..

God created the science your are studying..
He created you..
He gave you wisdom and an ability to think..
He gave you freewill..
Let's not rebel against HIM...
HE is supreme over all..
Thats why HE IS GOD..
thats y you can't understand HIM..
HE hasn't mandated you to understand HIS works anyway..
ALL you MUST do is believe HIM...

HE cares..

Well you quoted me so . . . .

I hope you watched that clip to understand just how mysterious this God of yours is.

No your God didn't create science neither did he create me. He didn't give me anything so why should I bother believing him?

You people will be in a quest to make front page question what is beyond you.

What business of yours is it whether it is real or allegory?

Rossikk: Jonah was most likely taken into a submarine powered by advanced extraterrestrials. The best description his pre-industrial mind could give was ''a whale''.

Similar to Elijah going up in a ''chariot of fire''. This was most likely a spaceship powered by advanced extraterrestrials.

Most societies in the ancient world encountered these beings whom they came to regard as 'gods'.

In fact the root of religion lies in the visitations of these beings in antiquity, and there is every reason to believe that we were in fact 'CREATED' by those beings, who mixed their DNA with that of earth hominids to create 'man', ie a human body capable of housing intelligent souls.

Who created those beings?

These extratterestrial being theories seems to be making sense to me more by the day.Theres a programme running on history channel by 10pm on Sundays were they gv account of physical evidence that these beings visited the earth durring the dark ages.
The Romans(Zeus),Greeks(Apollo),Norsemen(Odin) called them different names but they were infact the same biengs.

Something big swallowed Jonah, Call it fish or whale or whatever. The fact is that something big in the sea swallowed Jonah.

EOD!!

Crixina: so now you guys are saying all those stories like the burning bush,talking donkey,parting of the red sea are just allegories,going by that,it means they are all subject to interpretations like an art work,which could be interpreted in different ways.Good then cos I will start giving my own interpretations.

this are things of the spirit......this is not herb,grass or heathen doctrine.... but this is spiritual and only the elect can decode this mysteries

So, what do you think?

Stop all this argument about the scripture, it is not an online thing, if you need answer to that Jonal in the fish puzzle, seek a teacher of the word in a bible believing, studying and practising church. You dont have to believe it as "Jonah inside the fish for three days is analogy of how the son of man shall be inside the earth for three days" . Meanwhile ANCIENT MEN ARE MORE WISER THAN MORDERN MEN.
