As horrific an experience as swallowing an 100-year-old raw egg would be, Jonah was swallowed by a whale (or big fish) while running from God's will and while potentially giving the Ninevites to whom he was sent no chance to repent. With such being the case, I'd rather swallow the egg while doing God's will for my life.
I would elope because 14 years is a looooonnnng time to wait for another person. Maybe if I was in my 20s but Im not.
Hmmm. Tricky question, because those wandering in the desert for 40 years were wandering because they hadn't believed God in the first place, and weren't even permitted to enter the promised land. Except Caleb and Joshua, who had presented a positive report, and were permitted (Joshua was the one who renewed the covenant with the sons of Israel at Gilgal). So yes, I'd rather be Joshua or Caleb wandering in the desert for 40 years and finally get to enter the promised land, than take 40 years to pay off a boring mortgage.
Im gonna go with I believe the words of Israels judge when she tells that God commanded 3000 to fight Jabins army because loyalty is loyalty and it can take you to your death but its worse to be the one left behindHmmm.

Would you rather believe the words of Israel's judge when she tells that God has commanded to take 3000 men to fight Jabin's army, or stay in safety but watch as 3000 of your friends, family and countrymen are killed by a foreign invader?
What a beautiful answer you gave! It was unexpected too!Much as it would be exciting to be born in the time of Jesus and have a chance to actually meet him in the flesh, I believe if I had been born then, I might not have known Jesus as I do now - as Saviour - we have the completed scriptures, we have inherited the spread of the gospel by faithful witnesses and missionaries - we have so much. So I will say reluctantly that I'd rather be born now, unless I can guarantee my salvation with being born then.
Would you rather be a Samson and tortured by the Philistines, or a Delilah-type figure and rewarded (in this life) for your evil works?
I will let Moses or someone answer Give Thanks question
I'd rather give birth to octuplets without pain killers. If there's eight of them, they've gotta be smaller, right?I will let Moses or someone answer Give Thanks question
I would rather be the 5th richest person in the world because I dont know what it is like to have a lot of money. But then I could hire the faith healer....or fund his ministry
Would you rather know the pain of being nailed on the cross or give birth to octuplets without any painkillers?
Although, feeding time might be a real problem, I reckon. (I'm a guy, so must take it on faith that giving birth is a painful process - but I'm sure the pain is insignificant compared to what you get to keep after all the pain is through).
Did I need to answer this one again? If so, I'd rather be the brother of the prodigal son. No matter how annoying family can be, I think life is always better with them than without them.I will let Moses or someone answer Give Thanks question
I've learnt to not make promises or dares so not saying it in the first place but be sure to keep in the Word so I don't flop on my own.I'd rather give birth to octuplets without pain killers. If there's eight of them, they've gotta be smaller, right?
Would you rather be Peter and say you'd die before denying Jesus, and then deny him three times, or never have the conviction to say it and never be tested?
I watched this story on YT of an American fisherman who got swallowed by a whale and he lived to tell the tale. Surprisingly he did say it was a pretty tight squeeze! So Id take my chances on an unfamiliar island because Ive watched enough Survivor seasons to give it a go, without a money reward lol
This is a hard question - I think I'd rather have Jesus heal me from a life of leprosy (he's actually healed ours hearts from much worse than leprosy!) Not that I want to be sick, but I think we value what He does for us much more knowing what what could have been. I think the next question is similar to this and another one asked before about wandering in the wilderness.
santa.
