quote:
Jonah did not want to go to Nineveh, God forced him to go, therefore God did not respect Jonah's free will. Jonah also wanted to die, God did not allow him to die. There seems to be evidence that contradicts your 'exegesis'.
I never saw where He did that. He certainly made the correct choice better for Jonah, but Jonah could always decide to rebel against God. In this case He used Jonah's because of his weakness (hatred of these people)to better Jonah, and the people of Ninevah.
