It wasn't a gospel message. It was a message of destruction. God was going to overthrow them in forty days. That is what he said. They believed God was going to overthrow them in forty days. They repented, and in turn, God repented. He did not do what he said he was going to do.

Because they chose to repent. It was their choice to repent at the preaching of Jonah. It was not predetermined by God.

Nothing about them being saved first. They heard the preaching and repented. I'm not willing to add to the plain reading of scripture. 41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater...

You added that part to scripture. Read Jonah and post the scriptures where it states this?

God's word accomplished what it set out to do, stop Nineveh's wickedness. If Nineveh failed to repent, God would have overthrown them in forty days as he stated. Accomplished. If Nineveh repented, God would show them mercy and not overthrow them. Accomplished. It was up to Nineveh... Here is a...

They believed God, but what did they believe? They believed the message that God was going to overthrow them, "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown." They immediately did what they could to change God's mind that he would show them mercy. 9 Who can tell if God will turn and repent...

And that destroys Calvin's theology. When scripture states that God will not repent, it is always a reference to his ultimate plan with the nation of Israel. Always. God has declared the end from the beginning, I agree. We have the ending outlined in scripture. But there are things in between...

God's original message through Jonah was an eight word sermon, "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown." Was Nineveh overthrown in forty days? Did God lie or did he simply change his mind based on the response of the message? God was going to overthrow them because their wickedness...

Which statement do you not agree with? 1. Did God say he was going to overthrow Nineveh in forty days? Abolutely 2. Did God overthrow Nineveh in forty days? Nope 3. Why didn't God ovrthrow Nineveh in forty days? Nineveh repented at the preaching of God's word. 4. What was the response of God...

Wow! Let's not add more to scripture than what's actually there. I realize you must in order to suffice your theology. Let's simplify things: 1. Did God say he was going to overthrow Nineveh in forty days? Abolutely 2. Did God overthrow Nineveh in forty days? Nope 3. Why didn't God ovrthrow...

Galatians 4 After that ye are known of God... A point in time God knows you as a son. It's not before the foundation of the world. How does one become a son of God? John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name...

Not one of my Calvi friends have ever answered what went on in Jonah 3. Through the hearing of God's word, God can repent and change his mind toward the sinner. 9 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? 10 And God saw their works, that...

God is almighty. There, I fixed it for you. Let's stick with the bible.

According to the bible in Galatians 4, when does God know one?

Biblically, that's almighty. Calvin's sovereignty is defined as all things that are and that occur are ordained by God. He even stated that God is the author of sin. No thanks. Let's stick with almighty.

That's the same power the gospel can have on anyone who is in darkness. Anyone! Please do not limit the power of God to a few so called elect group.

When does God know you according to Galatians 4? 9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? There is a point in time when God knows someone. Obviously, it's not before the...

Sounds to me like the light of the gospel can penetrate the darkness of the lost and loosen the grip of Satan.

Define what you call sovereign. Earthly kings can be sovereign over their earthly kingdom. God is far above that. He is almighty God.
