Reformed Baptist,
re: "... of course the solution to the sign of Jonah is found in Ester as I have already pointed out."
here is nothing in the Esther account that precludes at least parts of each one of three daytimes and at least a part of each one of three nighttimes.
JohnDB,
re: "God is omniscient. That means God knows all things. God knows all things past, all things present, all things future..."
So if before He creates a person, He knows that He will eventually be tossing the person into the lake of fire, why do you suppose He goes ahead and creates the person anyway?
You’re right, I should have checked (as you did) to see if racer was still active. Perhaps, though, someone will have an idea about what he may have been getting at.
FresnoJoe,
re: "The problem is that the more I read (I started last week) the more difficult I find it to jump into believing."
And since a person cannot consciously CHOOSE to believe things, I wonder what a person is supposed to do?
