[quote author=thehomer] It was a very big fish. But seriously do you really believe that crap? Stop and think for a minute. How can someone be swallowed in a fish and live in it? How big do you think Jonah was that he would live in a fish? You take this as evidence of God working in mysterious ways? Consider this clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1pCudKUIRg[/quote] you term the word of God as *crap* smh 4 u because you are already doomed |

dr dams: U sound more lyk a philosophical bible analyst.not really. the secret to unraveling the allegories ? is all in the bible. >>>> isaiah 28 vs 10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: <<< what does that tell you ? only those who study the whole bible to show themselves approved will unravel the mysteries. seems like a philosophical approach to you but thats because you dont know about that precept upon precept. a little example for you. there is a thread that says. what is the tree of life. to know what is the tree of life you have to first know what is a tree, right ? so what is a tree ? >>> mark 8 vs 24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking <<< trees are men and this is how you unravel the allegories and symbolism. all the answers are all over the bible. so you cant be a new testament reader or an old testament reader. you have to read both testaments. scripture says I COME IN THE VOLUME OF THE BOOK. so its not philosophical at all 1 Like |

most people here do not know what a fish is sef, A fish is a cold blodded vertebrate animal that lives in water, moving with the help of fins and breathing with girls. so people, even a blue whale is a fis Fish is just a collective name for vertebrates living in water, moving with fins and breathing with gills. see why biology is a compulsory subject? the fish cud av being a blue whale, killer whale, etc. |

philfearon:oh yes Jesus feeding five thousand people with 5 loaves and 2 fish is an allegory. what is fish ? ( to fish for souls ) what is oil ? what is milk ? what is bread ? what is meat ? what is oil ? they all mean THE WORD. so when he fed five thousand people with 5 loaves and 2 fishes, its allegory speech for saying 'he preached the word to 5000 people' JOHN 6 VS 35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. 1 Like |

believing in God frankly works for me. freewill is God's gift. I choose to believe in God and his word. whatever works for you people abeg choose. stop this bickering and grow up. its your choice. if you feel you are existing by chance or coincidence abeg na your choice to believe. let sleeping dogs lie. let christianity be. if truly God, heaven or hell is real, you will experience it after death. its your choice to believe. |

see when they fed 5000 people with five loaves and two fishes at bethsaida. first off there is no place named bethsaida. these are all allegories. bethsaida is hebrew for 'house of fishing'. so basically they are fishing for souls. Bethsaida /ˌbɛθ.seɪˈiːdə/ (Greek: Βηθσαΐδά bēthsaidá;, from Hebrew/Aramaic בית צידה beth-tsaida "house of fishing" ALL ALLEGORIES. 1 Like |
