How do you justify your position?

Read the whole passage. God's threat was obviously conditional based on repentance. And the threat caused them to repent.

Can you post the condition as stated in Jonah? Thanks.

Here’s the preaching God bid Jonah to preach.

“Yet forty days and Nineveh shall be overthrown.”

The outcome implies it was conditional. Do you still think God was lying?

If so, it was his eternal plan to do so which is unchangeable.

He had every intention to destroy them as He stated. Based upon Nineveh’s reaction, He changed His mind. I know that goes against your fatalist beliefs.

Only if they did not repent. This is what scripture reveals.

I would like to understand how God can love sinners so much He sends His only Son to die in our place, but takes joy and glee in creating a whole other class to feed the fire

that is not a loving God

Calvinists portray a false portrait of God in their own image

I will never understand this view because it is demonic and needs no explanation

God is not double minded and does not create sin nor those who sin with no hope of salvation

One claims we’re guilty of idolatry and fallen pray to doctrines of demons, the other compares the doctrine to Manson... When confronted they wont even answer why they hate the doctrine. Why? Maybe they have no biblical answer. I’ve asked the question 5 times and gotten nothing but venom. To be expected I suppose.

I missed that version. "In the beginning God created robots in his image and likeness." No free will, no free choice.

That means everything is God's doing.
Think Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, Ed Gein, Wacco, Noah's flood.
