Bible Question (short): A question about Jonah |
Question (full): I think the story of Jonah is my favorite in the Bible. I can relate to Jonah more than any other individual in the Bible since God chose to show me a very similiar lesson in my life. In Jonah, God chooses to use animals as agents of His message...from the whale that swallowed Jonah to the worm that ate the tree that shelterd Jonah. God has used an animal in my life, as well, to get a very similiar message across to me concerning God's love. I would like some thoughts about the fact God communicates so clearly with animals. Does this mean that they most likely have soul and spirit too? Or does God just set them in position and they have no knowledge of Him? |
