    its not like he had access to oxygen, light, fresh water or food. What about the digestive jucies in the belly?

    Please correct me if i'm wrong, but surely this just can't be possible?

    Not for more than about 3 minutes - let alone 3 days.

    Remember - we were told time and again that it was a "great fish", but not a whale...

    If God's Son can be transferred to the womb of a virgin Israelite by means of God's Spirit, surely His Spirit could preserve Jonah in the belly of a fish.

    As Paul said about the Sarah-Hagar drama, "these things are allegory."

    Therefore, the allegory of Jonah is what is important. There are so many lessons that we can learn from this.

    Jonah heroically sacrifices his life to save the sailors from God's wrath. The fish is appointed as a means of Jonah's salvation from a watery grave, delivering him three days later to shore. He thereafter embarks on a greater work, bringing salvation to those in Nineveh.

    This is silly! You're all being so small minded: God can do anything ... except of course the things he cannot do, such as lie, or make a rock so big he can't pick it up .... hmmm, I guess there are things God can't do after all. I'm so confused!?!?!?

    I'm So Confused!
