1 | Biblical contradiction? | 2 Chr 35:21 | Emmaus | 37283 | ||
Seedsower, I guess I have nothing more to offer on this passage. But wouldn't your same theory apply to the Jonah and Nineveh story where God said he was going to destroy Nineveh, but then releneted when the Ninevites did penance much to Jonah's dismay. Did that make Jonah a false prophet? Emmaus |

2 | Biblical contradiction? | 2 Chr 35:21 | Seedsower | 37517 | ||
Once again I thank you for your answer. However,I don't think that the two episodes can be connected in that way: in the Josiah story he was told by The Lord through the prophetess that he would die in peace and that was that. Jonah was told to "cry out against it (Nineveh); for their wickedness has come up before me." God always sent His prophets when preaching to a body of people with the messaage to "repent or perish" if you will, there was always a way back for them. In the case of Josiah it was a simple statement of fact to an individual, not a message of impending doom to a people unless repentance was forth coming. "Surely I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace etc..." 2Chron.34:28 | ||||||
