I seriously didnt see it , you always write in bold so i was expecting it to be in bold thats why. Nah not laziness, stress. You are stressed out. Handling scoffers plus this mod job where 99% is complaints upon complaints will surely stress one out. Sorry, you need to rest, like sleeping beauty rest...sleep for 10 days straight . lol jk. Sorry, just chill with any exigesis for now and concentrate on the mod job, this mod thingy would peak and then enter its trough and before you know it, you are good to go.

Well with this rambling and poorly thought out response I have little to add to your ignorant display.
Good luck to you in your pursuit of ignorance.

Many have taken your path,and it led them to no Where!! Repent,and seek Your God,your Creator! For ye know not how you came to be....Some of Your mates were terminated at Conception....

The Lord God is still open,to welcome u back,that thou might be saved from Eternal Damnation,and shame Satan....

Only a non-chritian can post this and be free of being termed a lummox. If it were a christian or rather Church-goer, then you might call the Bible: a story book. So are you a church goer@poster?

hrhobi1: Well, we have no reason to believe it was a special fish. Wat we are told is that God was involved, GOD had prepared a fish. God is the special one. When the donkey spake, when the animals came to Adam to be named, when the animals came to Noah's ark, when the bush was on fire nd was not burned, when the Red Sea parted, it was not because they were special,it was because the special God was involved.

Thank you case closed.

The question is, who told you and why you believe that person? Why do you simply believe everything the white man told you?
You mention Noah's ark. You mean to tell me you believe that story? The one where he picked every animal and including them on the boat? Did he include dinosaurs as well? Lets face it, most of these things are just stories/myths

Tell your God to reach me on my mobile. I'm sure he has my number. I'll be expecting him to call me within an hour after this post is made. When he calls, I'll let you know the substance of our discussion.

obadiah777: and that is exactly why i have stopped casting pearls before swines. waste of my time.

No, you can't cast pearls before anyone or anything because you don't have pearls, you have muck and we'll all be better off if you kept this muck to yourself.

I'm amaze when I read post on this forum and I ask myself why people don't engage in reading any more
Do you know that there is thousands of years between Gen 1:1 and Gen 1:2
Do you know that there was earth before this earth you know now
Do you know that Dinasours existed before Man was Created
Do you know that Neniveh was more cosmopolitan than Las Vegas and had no respect for Religion in anyway
Do you know that the jews hated that city with a passion
Do you know that Jonah spent less time preaching in that city because he actually wanted God to distroy them
Do u know that Jonah did just a days walk in the city instead of a 3 days walk around the city
Do you know that jonah actually didn't do the job he was sent to do
Do you know that he went and stayed a distance from the city to actually see God distroy them
Do you know that d cronic secular people believe and told their king
So ask yourself what actually convince the people that they repented quickly
Was it jonahs voice or a slimy man with his skin like that of a newborn baby on a very popular beach
Pls spend some time reading books on history from most countries. Even spending time with discovery channel will help you and as a bible student you will be able to fit the piece better

Wetin be all the story wey this one dey type. We know dinosaurs existed before man because of SCIENCE and fossils. The holy books did not tell us that. All the stories you posted were written by MAN. Please tell me why I should believe them. Why did we have to rely on fossils and scientific discoveries to know that dinosaurs exist? Why didn't the books give a hint as to the existence of dinosaurs? The only reason all the stories that exist seem so implausible is because a lot of lies have been told.
My question still remains. Why would I believe a book written by MAN?
MAN has been deceptive and has been lieing since existence. Who are you to tell me that MAN did not lie in the books in order to get people to believe?

fish here could mean the shark, whale or any other big sea animal. Just a matter of knowing d exact word used in the hebrew translation. It doesn't really mean a small fish







I'm telling those who see it as a joke to say a full grown adult will live in a small fish for three days. Dat sea creature dat swallowed Jonah could have been written as " animal from the sea" in the hebrew translation and English translated it to "fish"

Judas2013:

Each time christians use the Jonah story i always laugh. Christians can believe anything sha! Anyway as long as their are ignorant people on the planet,the rich will remain rich.

TinyPurpleBaby:

mee too Im addicted to you nairaland

It appears you have a fan club.
*comes into fan club meeting dressed in disguise*

dr dams:
just Curious the kind of Fish it would have been. God works in a Mysterious way cos this beat scientific theories and its definately not a Whale..

Or is it a Story that has underlying meaning using the Sea, Jonah & the fish as a case study?

This is an excerpt from the Qur'an in response to the thread:

point 1:
[068:048] So, wait with patience for the Decision of your Lord, and be not like the Companion of the Fish – when he cried out (to Us) while he was in deep sorrow. (See Verse 21:87)

[068:049] Had not a Grace from his Lord reached him, he would indeed have been (left in the stomach of the fish, but We forgave him), so he was cast off on the naked shore, while he was to be blamed.

[068:050] Then his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous.

point 2:

[021:087] And (remember) Dhun-Nûn [Yûnus (Jonah)], when he went off in anger, and imagined that We shall not punish him (i.e. the calamities which had befallen him)! But he cried through the darkness (saying): "Lâ ilâhâ illâ Anta [none has the right to be worshipped but You (O Allâh)], Glorified (and Exalted) are You [above all that (evil) they associate with You]! Truly, I have been of the wrong doers."

[021:088] So, We answered his call, and delivered him from the distress. And thus We do deliver the believers (who believe in the Oneness of Allâh, abstain from evil and work righteousness).

Learning more from our holy books and trustworthy clerics would be of great favour but it begins with YOU to arm yourself with knowlegde

The Fish was a real one,and Jonah survive inside that fish by God's power,since God only intends to draws Jonah's attention that it is wrong of him to ignore the Ninevites.

I waited but your lord didn't call. What happened? Didn't you tell him to call? Or wasn't he there to make the call? What excuse will you make for him next?

He Kept you alive to see this morning,givin u another opportunity to come back to Him...Some people couldnt make it to this morning cuz they died from their sleep..You dont know the Battle He fought,He fights and is still fighting over you...You are not better than Those who died last night..You were not even aware of What happened in the 6-8hrs you slept...BUT YOU WOKE UP....The Lord God has called You!!

obadiah777:

Bro,Nineveh and Bethsaida existed...Therefore,if God wanted to do an allegory,He wouldnt use real Places or real Events....For instance,THE PARABLES were specifically called Parables cuz they didnt happen,but it was used as Lesson...Whatever interpretation you are giving it outside of what it represents is your out of your own pathetic thoughts....You dont sit in that ur tiny rooms and speak of Existed places as Allegory or symbolic whatever!!

mr JUDAS..you must be the second version of JUDAS Iscariot..i would think your lineage would have learnt its lesson..i just hope you wont 'kick the bucket' the manner your older version did..if you don't know he hung himself

you will never believe anything until you get to hell and then it will be too late to believe.

obadiah777: 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.

what abt d 12 baskets that was remaining.

Image123:

It was a big fish no doubt. The Bible says GOD had prepred the fish. The God clause in the event made it supernatural, so you do not have to expect the normal for God had prepared the fish. If God had not prepared the fish, Jonas would not have lasted three days in it.

you are truly smart for with God all things are possible. So much sceptisism on nairaland these days, seun atheistic spirit at work.

denixii: what abt d 12 baskets that was remaining.

means there is more preaching to be done aka there is more people to be fed
