Bible Note: Support......................................... Greetings Sir Pent! That is actually the point I was trying to make. It seems to me that there are two different perspectives or angles to this story. The first is from God's perspective. Obviously, God knew what the Ninevites were going to do. So, He wasn't surprised by their repentance. But, from the perspective of the Ninevites, they had a real choice to make - destruction or repentance. These verses only appear to be a contradiction if the responses of men are determined by God. But, if they really had freedom of choice, then the verses are not contradictory at all. God's response to the Ninevites was conditioned upon their acceptance or rejection of His warning. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
