I think the greatest of the miracles concerning Jonah, was that he walked over 300 miles in 3 days. I mean, even without resting, that's over four miles an hour.

Eyeball
i'd really be interested in hearing where you get your information.  first off it never says how big ninevah is.  second, jonah only walked one day's journey.  not three.

God is not like a man; He has higher thoughts and higher priorities. And He wants His character to be made known, and He wants His children to become like Him.
How should I be more like God? Tell my children I am going to punish them all there lives for something an ancestor did? Tell them part of their being will last forever and be tortured by me because they don't think as I want them to? Should I send my children to kill  most of the neighbors so they'll have land to build their houses and build a place to worship me? Have my children use the surviving neighbors, all virgin children, as whores or sell them into prostitution?

Maybe that was the problem Andrea Yates of Texas had. She was trying to be god-like, and pulled a Noah on her children. People were really freaked over this, yet think it's plausable that a loving god would do worse.

No, none of you have answers for the hard questions, except to say God's thoughts are higher than ours. That's an easy out and explains nothing.

How serious it is, and how powerful God is.
I was raised with fire and brimstone preaching Sunday morning, Sunday night plus prayer meeting on Wed. I know how serious this all is. If I thought any of it was plausable, I'd be on my knees in a second. As for God's power, he either does not exist or is impotent. I hear proofs such as God's healing or God blessed us with money to buy food. If he wanted belief, the big man would make a few amputated legs and arms grow back. Lizards can do it, why can't God? If he wanted belief He would strike dead anyone who touched his graven monument, as the book said he did with the ark.

We are not punished for something ancestors did.  True it was through ancestors that sin entered the world, but we are punished for our own sins.  He has given us all the proof we need, why should he have to do anything more?

Give you what you deserve?  Yes.  Tell you he gave you chances and it is your own fault?  Yes.  Torture and mock?  No.

Your attitude though shows that you are not repenting.  He has all power over you.  If you died right now you would go to hell and beg from down there to be brought up and he will tell you all the chances you had and all the things you thought and said and it will all be your fault.

I'm sure your blasphemy will be duly noted in God's book.

Hello Bowser

Symphony gave you the right and short answer to your question.

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither male nor female; there is neither circumcised nor uncircumcised; neither barbarian nor Scythian, neither slave nor free man, neither Catholic nor Protestant; neither Orthodox nor Episcopalian; neither Methodist nor Baptist; neither name-sake Christian nor Moslem; neither Hindu nor Buddhist; for you all are one in Christ Jesus, and-Christ in all. (See Galatians 3:28; Colossians 3:11)" Quoted from: http://www.his-amazing-love.org/sarah.html

Bible asks:

"For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and bestows his riches upon all who call upon him. For, "everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved. "But how are men to call upon him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher? And how can men preach unless they are sent? So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes by the preaching of Christ. (Romans 10:12-14,17)

But do you ask this question because you have burden on those who to go hell? If yes, what do you do for this from your part? Do you want to do anything to win some of these unlucky souls who are still not heard/reached with the gospel? May be the Lord Jesus wants you to do something. Please e-mail me.

Blessings!

Adding a bit to the scriptures aren't we?Huh??
