No I am relying on the Lexicon to give me clarification in this instance.
Jonah didn't write about his experiences at the time of the experience either.
Yep, and every test of faith, either strengths or weakens. If you lift up a weapon, are you strengthening your faith in Him or weakening it? Remember all wickedness, evil, and violent behavior is not of God. There is no reason for believers to get involved. Prison gates open at night,... That...
What do you do? Do you defend yourself or trust God to defend you?
There are the miracles for those who were unharmed facing the extreme situations. How can you not trust God to care for you if you are defending yourself?

What part of that bothers you most, the missing separate baptism of the spirit, the doomed pronouncement, the gross error declaration or the label Catholic?

(Jonah 2:3-6 KJV) (3) For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me. (4) Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple. (5) The waters compassed me about...
If Jonah died not, then Yeshua using him as an example of death and resurrection three days and nights later doesn't fit. It says he cried from “Out of the belly of Sheol” not just the whales belly.
