Do you believe Jonah lived in a whale for 3 days & Noah made that huge arc by himself?

Question

Is this when the faith kicks in?

So it was a fish, my bad. Which makes it more unbelievable

Answer 1

course not! God helped them...

Answer 2

Leave Jonah alone, I love that story. Here is a man that has been chosen by God too deliver a message of repentance to the folk of Nineveh. Jonah decides that he does not what to do it not matter who is asking him, so he resolves to go on a Mediterranean Cruise in order to get as far away from God as he possible can. A violent storms blows wildly and tosses the ship too and fro, Jonah is thrown overboard by the sailors and swallowed by a mighty whale who swims all the way to the shores of Nineveh, spits Jonah out because it now has tummy pains and Jonah lands on the shore, dusts himself off and thinks, right I'll it, and marches off toward the city of Nineveh. Does what God requested of him in the first place, has a moan about it and about being too hot, a tree suddenly appears too cool him down, Jonah still moans, so a maggot eats the tree. Its a great story with the moral of: If God has decided you are going to do something for Him, there is no mediterranean cruise which one can take in order to avoid God's Will. God's Will, will be done is the message here, and if God puts one inside the belly of a whale, well anything is possible for God. Your question should really have been about the 'maggot,' I always wondered what happen to it.

Answer 3

First question. The passage says: Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah." Jonah 1:17. A whale is a mammal. Second. It took Noah 120 years to build the arc, and he had 3 sons, and their wives to help.

Answer 4

We are not sure if it was a whale or if Noak built the ark by himself.

The bible records Noah and the ark and Jonah being in the belly of the fish for 3 days and 3 nights therefore by faith man believes it.

There is overwhelming evidence of a world wide flood occurred at one time!

Answer 5

Listen carefully, Ignorant. If you're head went first into the gullet of a whale it would stretch open, swallow your head and plant it between the lungs and blowhole of the whale.

You would have all the air needed to survive. Most whales can't swallow anything as large as a man, but the head could get stuck and 'technically' be in the stomach passage.

Have a little faith, budddy.

And the Bible says the 'bottoms of the ocean floors opened up and water flowed up" causing the flood. Just like the Tsunami did.

Answer 6

Jesus Christ believed literally in the story of Jonah and of the universal flood in the days of Noah.
(see Matthew 12:40 and Matthew 24:36-39).

It doesn't say in the story of the flood that Noah built the ark by himself. I suppose he had the help of his sons; perhaps others. He also had over 100 years to work on it.
I choose to believe Jesus Christ.

Answer 7

Jonah was swallowed by a whale and yes Noah did make he ark, but his sons helped him. I don't know how these things happened, just that God said it and its good enough for me.

Answer 8

Yes. I believe the whole Bible and only the Bible. If the Bible says it, I believe it. Therefore, there leaves no doubt in my mind that this is true. Why would God confuse us with more symbolism. God is not a God of confusion (as noted in I Corinthians 13).

Answer 9

No I don't personally. Yes, I think these sorts of things are where religious people have to set skepticism aside and have faith if they are Biblical literalists. Some Christians though are not literalists and see these as allegorical stories meant to teach lessons.

Answer 10

Yes I do believe and Yes it is where faith kicks in.

Answer 11

Unless you have this phsycolgical disorder called Faith, you cannot trilly believe in this nonsense. IT is absurd and highly illogical. More evidence points against the flood and noah then any smidget of proof for it. So faith cures all and gives the believer a reason to state their non beliefs.
