Seriously? A picture of Jonah just chilling in the belly of the great fish like it was some luxury boat cruise?
Looks like ur the one who needs to grow up and stop reading the Bible like a childrens picture book flipping past the cute illustrations.
If youre gonna mock it at least get the story right.
The text doesnt say Jonah survived in the great fish…it wasnt a refuge; it was a tomb.
You atheists love to pretend that Jonah was just hanging out in the fish….maybe even taking a nap or two to pass the time.
Utter nonsense. Jonah prayed while he was still on the boat, as the sailors threw him overboard and he continued praying from inside the belly of the fish…until he drowned.
Read his own prayer from inside the fish:
“I called out to the Lord, out of my distress…
From the belly of Sheol I cried and you heard my voice…
The waters closed in over me to the point of death;
the flood surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head;
I went down to the roots of the mountains;
the earth with its bars closed upon me forever…
Yet you brought up my life from the pit, O Lord my God.” (Jonah 2:2–6)
He prays from Sheol….the Old Testament place of the dead. He says the waters took him “to the point of death.”
Seaweed wrapped around his head and the earth barred him in forever.
Thats not a guy whos just uncomfortable….thats a man describing his own death.
So yes…..Jonah died in the belly of the great fish.
The miracle wasnt that he survived underwater for three days.
The miracle was that God raised him from the dead after the fish vomited his dead body onto dry land.
And thats exactly the sign Jesus pointed to:
“But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation craves a sign; and so no sign will be given to it except the SIGN OF JONAH the prophet; For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” (Matt 12:39-40)
Jesus didnt say “as Jonah lived in the fish…”
He pointed to Jonahs death and resurrection as a sign of His own.
Jonah died. God raised him.
Jesus died. God raised Him.
Thats the parallel…not a three day aquarium stay.
The sign of Jonah isnt survival.
Its resurrection. Full stop.
@DeeWaynee94 You’re starting with the wrong premise. You said in another comment “your God designed suffering”. That’s not correct. His design was perfect and then sin, which He knew we would do, but loved us enough to still create us with the cure for that already in mind.

This guy just proved that every time the right is in power, the left creates chaos and destruction. He owned himself and his party and is too ignorant to know it…
@hopefultheism@howertonjosh@jamestalarico “First and Foremost”… meaning he would be convicted (cut to the heart) and repent, which is to follow Christ. If not, then physical death.
Honest question:
If a white Republican mayor of a large city had a white wife who sympathized with a skinhead group, liked some of their statuses, and used the n-word with a soft a (because the soft a is somehow culturally acceptable), would the left accept the mayor’s excusal and absolvement that his wife is a “private person?”
I mean, by that logic, Melania has been a “private person” all her life and the left will crucify her if she drinks decaf coffee.
Just asking questions…
Imagine thinking allowing an actual dictator or fascist to continue oppressing/murdering their people is having a spine/courage and “standing for humanity”. The real courage is freeing people and standing up for the oppressed. Sit this one out terroristic sympathizer 🤡 🤡

Leaders with spine and courage are standing for humanity. Mad Respect 🫡
