Rescuing Scripture, Theology, & Church from the Shackles of Religion
Do you fear death? I do not.
But as we study the book of Jonah, we see that Jonah sort of wanted to die, but he did not want to die by drowning. We see why in this study of Jonah 2:3. We see that Jonah prefers to die by digestion that to die by drowning.
In Jonah 1:3, Jonah pretty much slaps God in the face. He spits in God’s face. To put it more crudely, Jonah gives God the finger.
We will see in future episodes how God responds.
If you feel like you have sinned pretty badly, then make sure you keep listening to the podcast because you will be both challenged and encouraged.

Have you ever sinned so great or for so long, you thought God could not forgive you? I have. Here is a tiny bit of my story and I came to understand the gospel and the grace of God.
