Image123: Looks like a failure of language here with you. Just so you know, faith has multiple meanings. Here are two meanings. Wiktionary: 1) and 2) are the sorts of faith religious people like you have when it comes to the Bible and your God. 4) is what I was talking about. Seriously take the time to learn something about the language. It will help reduce some of the confusion you're having. |

thehomer:hmmm, am i beginning to touch a nerve? What is my offiense? i have all the faiths described above. Everyone has faith, its just that some misuse it. Do you have faith in Brahma too? 1 Like |

Image123: Did I say or imply you committed an offense? When you misuse language, you make it difficult to communicate with you. When you say you "have all the faiths described above", you're confusing issues. I'm telling you that the word "faith" has multiple meanings and you're saying you "have all the meanings". That is just a misunderstanding of the various concepts. No I don't have faith in Brahma but what does that have to do with anything here? Or do you have faith in Brahma yourself? 1 Like |

Re: Jonah & the Great Fish: Real or Allegory / Parable? by Image123(m): 9:08pm On Sep 25, 2013 |
thehomer:You said i have 1 and 2, i said i have all. Then you start complaining. There is no confusing issues, its actually a clarification of facts. You know little about faith as you said you do not have. Permit me to help you na. |

Image123: I see. The problem is that you're finding language difficult. I'm sorry but I cannot help you with that. Seeing how you confuse the meaning of a word with the word itself, I don't think you're qualified or in a position to help me. Sorry to burs your bubble. 1 Like |

9jadelta: what is logical about living in a fish? how is that even possible ? A Cninese woman survive miraculously when a big container fell on her car.......To everybody there, anyone inside the car must surely die. Note: She didn't prepare for it The thread is still on FP with many pics as evident, How can you explain this? I know you people always run away from such type of thread Very soon the whole Bible Itself will soon turn to Allegory by some Body....just wait and see. Shalom! |

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. 3 Likes |

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..

mcfynest: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. |
