Jonah And The Whale

[media=https://youtu.be/Cv3tUDiiTGk?si=nlqqZdqZNfIvPU8W]

There are documented videos of people being swallowed by whales, it happens. Jonah was the first case.

Could Jonah survive in a whale? The Bible didn't say it was a whale, the Bible said God created a great fish. It is the church who defined it as a whale. Funny how we can accept mechanical mechanisms like submarines and other submergable crafts humans use to explore underwater but refuse the notion that The entity that created the heavens and earth doesn't have the technology to create a vehicle of sorts to hold and carry a person underwater. And in the ancient days if one saw something like a submarine or any of the things used today in the water they would automatically see it as a big fish.

Or you could simply read the text as written. Jonah was swallowed by a 'great fish' died and was later vomited out onto dry land where he was brought back to life. Jesus spoke of the sign of Jonah when He spoke about His time when He was dead and buried and came back to life.

@hippyjoe1955 nope scripture don't say Jonah died.

@Charity So three days in the belly of the fish...... Jesus certainly implied Jonah's death by comparing it to His own death.

@hippyjoe1955 no he didn't imply it to being Jonah's physical death.

Jesus was not dead when he was in the what we call grave. Jesus went to the gates of hell, broke it down, reclaim the souls, it took keys which means authority from the devil to claim possession of souls after leaving existence upon this Earth. Humans call it death Jesus called it sleeping.

@Charity Only in your dreams. Jesus spent three days in the earth just as Jonah spent three days in the fish. Hmmmmm

@Charity Go look at the shroud of Turin. The burial cloth of Christ show a man in rigour mortis. Jesus was dead.

@hippyjoe1955 not in my dreams, you lack understanding scripture. The three days that Jesus spent in what we call the Earth or the gravein he was actually in the place that is called hell retrieving those souls there and taking the keys from the devil.

Jesus has the keys of hell

As far as the shroud of Turin it hasn't been proven 100% that it is the cloth that Jesus was wrapped in. There is much controversy around it, and I have been studying info on it since information was released in the 1960s.
