GOD ALMIGHTY is not a Man that He should lie..

The Bible is the Word of God written by Men who were Inspired by God Himself. Every Part of the Holy Bible is True.

This is a Privileged Generation..

Few weeks ago it was Noah Ark

Today it Jonah and the Whale.

A Serious Message is being passed to us.
Noah and Jonah were Preachers of Righteousness that warned the People of the Wrath of God..

The people in Noah's Generation Refused to Heed
Those in Nineveh listened to Jonah, Repented and Ask God for Mercy.

Today is another opportunity for Someone to Shift From Darkness to Light, From Eternal Destruction to Eternal Life and From Hell to Heaven..

The RAPTURE of the saints is upon us. Humble yourself and Accept The KING of kings..

Personal Raptures are Happening Every Minute. You Don't know your time! Humble yourself and Accept The KING of kings..

Truly, the Bible word of God?

Avail ur self of this contradiction

GE 1:3-5 On the first day, God created light, then separated light and darkness.
GE 1:14-19 The sun (which separates night and day) wasn't created until the fourth day.

GE 1:11-12, 26-27 Trees were created before man was created.
GE 2:4-9 Man was created before trees were created.

GE 1:20-21, 26-27 Birds were created before man was created.
GE 2:7, 19 Man was created before birds were created.

GE 1:24-27 Animals were created before man was created.
GE 2:7, 19 Man was created before animals were created.

GE 1:26 Man is to have dominion over fish, birds, cattle, and all wild animals, yet--
GE 2:15-17 It is wrong to be able to tell good from evil, right from wrong.

GE 1:26-27 Man and woman were created at the same time.
GE 2:7, 21-22 Man was created first, woman sometime later.

GE 1:28 God encourages reproduction.
LE 12:1-8 God requires purification rites following childbirth which, in effect, makes childbirth a sin. (Note: The period for purification following the birth of a daughter is twice that for a son.)

GE 1:31 God was pleased with his creation.
GE 6:5-6 God was not pleased with his creation.
(Note: That God should be displeased is inconsistent with the concept of omniscience as well as with the fact that God allegedly does not change his mind: NU 23:19-20, 1SA 15:29, JA 1:17.)

To keep being in religion, just forget about evidence otherwise you start questioning everything. I've been there.
No specie of fish exists or existed that could swallow a whole person whole. Let's even say it happened and an alien blue whale swallowed Jonah, he would not have survived past 10 minutes without oxygen.
The way the mouth of whales (the world's largest sea creatures) is designed, swallowing an adult person is pratically impossible.

God is great,
God do override natural processes to fulfill his word.
Life itself, is a proof that there is God.
Life gave rise to life.

All living thing that exist came from a living being who is God.

The creation itself is a testament that there is indeed a creator.
One of newton principles stated that no event can take place except an eternal force initiates it. The universe universe has a cause that is outside of it. God over rules every laws of nature to fulfill his word.

If you want to know the true way check the fruit of it.

What is the fruit of atheism? Hopelessness, uncertainty and death.
You only have one life dont gamble it away, If the bible is true then you lose and such loss is eternity in Hell.
If the bible is not true then you have nothing to lose.


The gospel of Jesus Christ gives peace, Joy, deliverance and hope.
Jesus died and rose again from the dead to give you everlasting life if you trust in him as your saviour and Lord.

You are Quite right bro.
The reason why even on the cross Jesus said "Father forgive them for they know not what they do "
No one fights on behalf of Jehovah. He might even choose to bless those who say such things against Him. His mercy is undescribable. So, judgement should be left for Him alone. He knows how best to deal with these guys who mock Him.
That's true Sir
God bless you

You mean those drawings?
Any sane human being knows you can't use that to validate such story which goes against logic.

Guess you missed this part...

Similarly, biologists do not believe it would be possible for a human to be swallowed whole, let alone survive inside of a whale.

Pele! Brilliant atheist. I believe you were reading in haste not to have seen that it was not every scientists that said that. And the reasons the ones that called his research inconsistence gave showed that they were not even sure of their facts.
Re-read below what they say and now slowly bringing your reasoning senses along as you read;

"However, many historians are no convinced by Bartley’s account, finding inconsistencies in his story.

According to historian Edward Davis, the story may have been inspired by the Gorleston whale, a 30ft rorqual or baleen whale killed near Great Yarmouth in June 1981."


Many Historians not all historians, and those many must be people who are always eager to fault Bible histories like you.
Many was used, like we have (many) atheists on nairaland too.

"The story (may) have been...
When ever you see (May) used like it was used, it shows uncertainty. Mumu grin

i dont get it..is it the wall painting that is supposed to be evidence?
the story of jonah might just be a figurative story for us to learn lessons from it
It might as well be someone arguing that the parable of the prodigal son or that of the Good samaritan happened in real life and not just a story told by Jesus
i know some fake pastors here will argue that the Good samaritan actually happened in real life and that they even knew the Good samaritan"s wife?
Anyway this one about saying there is now proof that a whale swallowed jonah for 3 days by a whale will be good for business
At least the tourism industry will triple and more coins and shekel notes into the isreali govt purse
smart move cheesy
PS:
And i dont even know why the nigerian govt is so foolish.They could make a lot of money from tourism
AT least Lai muhammed can make one claim that this is the exact spot that Oduduwa fell when he came down from the sky
he can build a memorial there and hundreds of oduduwa pilgrims will be rushing dere and money will be flowing
dats how u make money from tourism

Yet atheism is still going extinct because there is a part of man that exposed our helplessness and desire to depend on someone or something greater.

For some that dependance is on science because they see it as greater but when they discover that science is cold and does not have feelings, they look elsewhere.

You are not even scared of yourself! You don't even know how complex your own cells are made. What do you think when you look at the sky? There are million examples to prove God's power. A God that created ALL.. What will it take for Such a powerful God to create a room and a parlour in the belly of a Fish. Do you know some organism are surviving in your belly? I am not also sure you are born of a woman because if you spent 9months in your mother's belly before birth...then you should believe There is nothing God can not do.

Science itself is inconsistent which is why experiments are carried out to check consistency and even at that due to changes over time, results discovered today become inconsistent tomorrow all thanks to what scientists term as evolution.

I got angry at his foolishness and allow my anger have the other side of me

My guy sometimes what guys say about Jesus and Jehovah on nairaland could make one mad. But if you curse them because of their stupidity, you might even be punished by God for doing that. No one helps our God of fight for Him. Let Him judge them according to His will. If chooses to bless them upon all the insults they rain at Him who are we?

As for me, I only attack and deal with guys who insult me. If they like let them say all they want about God. He is God and He does what He likes in Heaven. But me, I am human you insult me because of your stupidity, I serve you back twice in your coin.
