Questions: Religion & Spirituality

Please tell me what your Jonah inside the belly of a whale for 3 days beliefs are. Do you think it literally happened but was hours and not days? Does it seem possible this could be literal bit was or was not?

Please share why you hold this view and how long have you held it and did you always hold it? Did you ever hold the literal sense view?

I think the details and events are too deep to be a fairy tale even if metaphorical. Maybe it represents you can't run from God without troubles swallowing you up. Please explain ways where your views could fall short also.

Yes, King James Version says whale so no junk about it doesn't say whale because it does.

Are you in recognition that the root cause to not showing reverence to God's power and authority is not being Holy Ghost filled or do you think there is another reason?

From my experiences, it seems that the demon possessed can not accept that God is the ultimate in power and authority and won't reverence that even if they hate His power and authority. Many people who seek fleshly standards of unbelief and idolatry are not capable, it appears, of showing the reverence. Can you give insight as to why? Why do they seem so blinded by Satan?

Not "that" kind of magic. The "other" kind. Black magic, white magic, Voodoo, etc. Do you believe in the world of mysticism? Do you believe that you, or another person can greatly alter yours, or someone's reality and tangent of life (for good or bad), armed with only candles, spices and spells? See, I've been curious about the world of "mysticism" for... 15 years. The more I wonder, the more I ask, the more I gather... Seems like everyone is involved in it one way or another. And, at the same time, everyone is denying it, and any/all involvement. What about you? What is your involvement? Were you ever anl victim of magic/voodoo and required healing/cleansing? Do you turn to magic for personal gain? For love? For health? ... or for vengeance... Or, are you among the very few who simply... Doesn't believe in it and have no involvement in it?

In your opinion do you think I have a responsibility to tell my friend that the faith they've had their entire life is 1 where they're being taught by false prophet? She is a Mormon and I have so much proof that says that Joseph Smith was a false prophet and that being a Mormon is only robbing her of her chance at heaven because she is being led astray.
