So it was a "special fish" that swallowed Jonah? Seriously you guys will believe anything at all as long as it is written in the Bible.

obadiah777: more like 'fellow nairaland addicts' looking to blame me. the first step of curing an addiction is admitting to it

A word to atheists: get a life. If you don't believe God is real, why expend so much time, energy, kilobytes in militant mode at everything Christian? Stop trying to throw up baseless arguments against God: they will never hold.

Concerning the Jonah fish issue: this is not something Christians rack their brains trying to figure out because they already know how powerful their God is. But just in case you needed extra proof - here it is right here in nature - in the science of zoology:

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basking_shark

We ask ourselves: what kind of fish could God have provided that had a stomach large enough to store a full grown man for up to 3 days, that would not have injured the man with sharp teeth during the process of swallowing him, whose digestive juices were not powerful enough to digest this man while he was in its stomach; and how will oxygen have been provided to the man during this time? Well, nature provides an answer for us in this interesting sea creature known as the BASKING SHARK (Cetorhinus maximus). It is the 2nd largest shark in the world, reaching lengths of up to 40ft, and smaller than only the whale shark. Unlike typical sharks that are known to be ferocious and have the capacity to eat humans, this shark is totally harmless! In fact, its so harmless that instead of teeth, it possesses only gill rakers and can only feed on small fish and plankton (microscopic sea organisms). Given its small feeding range, you would think it had one of the smallest mouths seen on sharks, but no, it has one of the largest jaws EVER, with a jaw width size of up to 1 metre! To give you a perspective, the average jaw width of a regular man is about 10cm. With this alone, we can already see the real-life, made-in-nature profile of Jonah's fish been built up, and you can check out the wikipedia link I posted for more information.

mcfynest:

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

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.

Crixina: this got me cracking,cos am not a bible scholar but atleast read the part that said this act was done after the men had followed him for days hearing the word,an he just couldn't send them away like that,even one of the disciples asking him whr they will get food to feed this multitude,so going by your theory,after he feed them the word,he fed them the word again.Alleluyah!

obadiah777: story is allegorical. when they say they followed them around, it means they stayed listening to the scriptures for a long time. they followed them through the scriptures. the scriptures come alive and they become part of it and follow the disciples through every story and lesson. its all allegorical speech. and then when they followed them around ( listened to scriptures ), they fed them with fish and bread ( fished them with the word meaning they got converted ). so basically saying after listening to scriptures for a while they got converted

Debeloved87: you and your allegorical version of the bible. you should sure write out one for weak and feeble minded folks like you that cant comprehend the Awesomeness of God.....Ephesian 3:20- "Now unto Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we could ever ask...."

Bleble-swag:
@Obadia, so d turning water into wine Jesus performed is also allegory abi?

obadiah777: yes now. what is water ?

revelation 17 vs 15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the LovePeddler sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. <<< water is peoples

what is wine ? wine is philosophies and doctrines and in this case it is the word. so basically turning water into wine means converting many people into the word. you do err Blebe-swag

TinyPurpleBaby:

I confuse.

obadiah777: what is 'confuse' you mademoiselle TPB

TinyPurpleBaby:

I thought Jesus works were literal not allegorical...now the wedding at Cana is now allegorical? You like to give yourself work OH! Hain...

So the bridegroom(if that is even literal) was complaining because his guests did not believe in anything?

I really CONFUSE

obadiah777: you can take it as literal. it works on that level too. biblical stories work both on literal or the actual allegorical exigesis. with the literal you are only on the surface but the message is the same. however one thing to note is that the lord is not professor peller or david blaine. he does not go around doing cheap magic tricks such as converting water to wine so that people can get drunk and enjoy themselves at wedding ceremonies lmao

TinyPurpleBaby:


Okay so what was the bridegroom complaining about, if not wine?

texanomaly:
*looks around, whispers*
Your secret's safe with me.

obadiah777: i have not read that story in a while. i will brush up on it later and respond. but the lord is not a magician. keep that in mind. he dont do cheap tricks lol

TinyPurpleBaby:

@ the green, THANKS. Appreciate

@the red, lmao, I already knew that but it never occurred to me that this story would be part of it. But this is getting really good, really really good

obadiah777: scriptures is really really good
