Subject: Did Jonah die in the belly of the fish? |
Bible Note: Hi John, I think you're making more of an issue on this matter than needs be? I did not read Jesusmans' report of this incident as a substitution for the gospel or that it was relayed as "a fantastic tale"! Show a little grace, my friend:-) (As an FYI-Here in the Puget Sound region of the NW, Great White Sharks are a very rare sighting. Yet, I recall 2-3 years ago I personally read a report by someone from the Tacoma Pt. Defiance Zoo that one had indeed been sighted in those waters. While this has no direct bearing upon this thread, the "fantastic: and bizarre do occur.) My take on his comments was only that the example served to add credibility to the story of Jonah!
