More Questions for Christians

[Drich]

No Drich, the question was also why not.

Let me be clear, there's absolutely no taunt there.

The devil is closing your mind, please open your eyes. Of course you have to really accept it with an open heart. If you still don't believe it, you haven't opened your heart the way you should.

You're living in darkness and you'll be punished if you continue with the devil's ways.

Alright new sport, I'll play. Let see how long you last, before you do default to taunts and name calling...

Why do i believe in the story of Jonah found in the bible? Because in the bible is a very specific set of promises. If one does 123 God will give them ABC. I did 123, and received ABC therefore I found the bible to be true. There is nothing I have found to be false concerning what I have been told or promise thus far. Therefore i have taken that resolve and applied it to the rest of scripture.

Ahh, the True Scotsman are out and about again, I see.

Hey newbe, don't you think you should read what I wrote before you go putting words in my mouth. Hey, somethin' else a whale is not a fish, seems to me you have some studying to do before you get into arguments here.

Big fish or whale is irrelevant to be honest, it's not possible for a man to live inside either. I was wondering why anyone, with even a minute amount of common sense, would believe that one could do.

If you don't believe that a 'man in a big fish/whale stomach for 3 days and lives' myth is actually true then fair enough.

No, even if you're right that means that you found that specific set of biblical claims to be true. You understand that books can be correct about one claim and still wrong in another, right? Spiderman comics take place in New York, which is totally a real place, but that doesn't mean Spiderman is real. You are vastly overstressing your case here.

There is nothing I have found to be false concerning what I have been told or promise thus far. Therefore i have taken that resolve and applied it to the rest of scripture.

Why not investigate all the claims on their own merit and find out which are true and which are false? Let me guess: because then things that you want to be true, won't be?

Didn't you get it? He obviously was ressurected after being partly digested.

Well no Drich, you keep misunderstanding me.

I`m saying that the tooth fairy is the real realigion. All you believe at the moment is the work of the devil, the anti tooth fairy who wants people to believe in false things, like the bible, quran, etc. I know for sure cause i`ve seen the light of the tooth fairy.

Please try and knock, but do it sincerely and you`ll see that the tooth fairy is the only real god. I know because i knocked with an open heart and i found the truth.

Please come with me and see the light.

So:

1. If you knock and still don`t believe in the tooth fairy, you haven`t knocked properly.

2. If you haven`t even knocked you can`t dismiss it as false.

and

3. Even if you find a contradiction, you can`t judge the tooth fairy, because we`re talking about god here. And there are no scriptures, because God didn`t want to write it in a particular language.

Also Drich, the tooth fairy told me yesterday:

"There are people seduced by the devil who do ABC and get 123 from him, but in order to get eternal life and God`s grace, you have to pass through me, the tooth fairy."

She also told me she`s God`s daughter, but they`re also one. She told me she chose me, because i believed in her story, otherwise she wouldn`t.

So it`s pretty simple, if you truly believe in the tooth fairy, she`ll give you irrefutable signs that she is the true path. But you have to believe. Not much of an effort, right Drich?

You are correct, God did raise him to life, like I said before this is a story foretelling the Messiah. Surely you can see the likeness of this story to the life of Christ, if not then I would assume you have a severe lack of Biblical understanding.

Being an inept and sarcastic dimwit will get you nowhere here.

Only a severe disinterest in grasping at straws.

With God magic™, anything is possible.

I have an extremely severe lack of biblical understanding, I can assure you.

So was our Jonah brought back to life while he was still inside the fish or after he got puked up on the beach?
