If an intelligent, self-respecting Christian reads a passage in the Bible that contradicts all reason, one must assume, with applied logic, that there was a mistranslation or misinterpretation. The latter is very often the case.<BR/><BR/>When one reads that Jonah was swallowed by a whale, regurgitated back out onto shore so he could continue on his merry way to condemn Nineveh, one must realize (if one can) that the story is a lesson. An ancient bible study story designed to teach (probably youths) about God's methods.<BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Jonah <BR/><BR/>When the Dobson/Taliban types twist such stories and then preach them as literal instance, they lead astray the willing and in doing so, cause them to become confused and repulsed.<BR/>They make fools of us all and cause the faith, and Jesus Himself to become the focus of secular derision.<BR/>They drive away those they should be trying to save.<BR/><BR/>Of course, this is just Jonah. There are many parables in scripture that when twisted by a liar or a fool, cause immediate danger to them and others.<BR/>One verse that mentions having power over evil in the context of serpents, and some deranged snake handler gets bitten and dies.<BR/><BR/>To quote a great legal mind "...if it don't fit, acquit".<BR/><BR/>Regards,captainkonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04011881473365734763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-24709935208192012042007-05-20T18:23:00.000-07:002007-05-20T18:23:00.000-07:00Hi, Secret Rapture.They make this wonderful medica...Hi, Secret Rapture.<BR/><BR/>They make this wonderful medication called Thorazine.
