You could have just answered what this Nether World is....To the Jews.... I have given you over 20 referenced to it in my first link.

Maybe I can help your comprehension. It was effectively forever (in hell) until God delivered him up from the pit. It was conditional on God's mercy.

Being disingenuous I see. Does the Tanakh contain the word Revelation? See what I mean. You play games. Clear for all to see. What is this Nether World to the Jews?

Or we could just believe what Jonah actually said "Sheol and the Pit", with the bars of the earth enclosing about him forever.

https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/15936/jewish/Chapter-5.htm What, pray tell, is this nether world in verse 14?

How do you link "Hell" to "Lake of Fire"? Sincere question from my side.

Isaiah 5 14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself And opened its mouth beyond measure; Their glory and their multitude and their pomp, And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it. 15 People shall be brought down, Each man shall be humbled, And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled. 16 But the...

And so the slugfest starts.

Ezekiel 31 14 So that no trees by the waters may ever again exalt themselves for their height, nor set their tops among the thick boughs, that no tree which drinks water may ever be high enough to reach up to them. ‘For they have all been delivered to death, To the depths of the earth, Among the...

And... 1 Peter 3 18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring [f]us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, 19 by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, 20 who formerly were disobedient, when once the...

Did the fish have gas? Was it a methane type environment? How much O2 do you think he had before he ran out of air (3 days worth?) But feel free to ignore all the references to hell.

You could be wrong. And you are now.

Yup I agree with you. So your distances are plausible.

Jonah 3v3 says Nineveh was a three day journey. So I suspect 397 miles would have been a yard too far (mind the pun).

2 Corinthians 12 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a one was caught up to the third heaven. 3 And I know such a man—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows— 4 how...

In your doctrine, this is actually not necessary. Red above. Merely a nice to have. Why would you need forgiveness if you have already believed. See, your own words betray you.

You have admitted that you need to obey the commandments of Jesus. Here on this thread: https://christianchat.com/bible-discussion-forum/apostasy-101.189485/page-18#post-4133159 https://christianchat.com/bible-discussion-forum/apostasy-101.189485/page-18#post-4133177...

I am posting this topic because of the chatroom question raised over Jonah in the belly of the fish, and all of the surrounding debate around this. I believe the bible can be taken literally in terms of what transpired. Lets analyse these verses: Jonah 1 17 Now the Lord had prepared a great...

John 3 18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light...
