You are turning the topic into the Trinity and Divinity of Jesus which were discussed here several times with Curious Christian and FHC. So you can easily search this topic on our forums and you will Insh a Allah get the answer.
Peace.....
I'm not turning the topic to anything. You gave an example of something you feel is very simple and easy to understand. And I gave an example of a "deep thing of God".
Quote:Now, I do agree that the Bible, in many places is <b>ambiguous</b>, and there are many verses that are open for more than one interpretation, however, <b>the sign of Jonah is not of that kind, it is not that complicated</b>.
I really don’t want to argue over the same topic again and again, but until now you have not come up with any logical explanation to what you are claiming.
The <b>story</b> of Jonah is not complicated at all I agree. What the story foretells is something totally different. Like I said, because you don't understand Biblical prophecy, you cannot see how it applies to Christ. You're constantly trying to reason out and logically deduce a "deep thing of God" and I told you before, that's something that cannot be done with the natural mind:
(Romans 8:5-9)
(5) For the ones that are according to flesh mind the things of the flesh. And the ones according to Spirit mind the things of the Spirit.
(6) For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;
(7) because the mind of the flesh is enmity towards God; for it is not being subjected to the Law of God, for neither can it be.
(8) And those being in the flesh are not able to please God.
(9) But you are not in flesh, but in Spirit, since the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone has not the Spirit of Christ, this one is not His.
