Re: Re-numbers
That is correct because it is mathematically possible for there to have been 19 million people 26 years of age and under. It's mathematically possible for there to have been any number you care to name. But, as Brian showed you above, your own infallible holy book makes this sort of inflated number ridiculous! Fifty kids per family? The Hebrews outnumbering their captors by a huge margin? Silly stuff!

Re: Re Nineveh
or He was lying when He said He was going to be in the heart of the earth 72 hrs like Jonas and then come forth from the grave. Check your story's plotline, ICANT. I don't think you can get 72 hours between Friday at midday and dawn on Sunday. 42 hours, maybe....

Re: Re Nineveh
Maybe we can go into detail one of these days in a thread. Bring your scripture citations.

Re: 3 million
You think you could find it now if they did? Very possibly, out there in the desert. The latrines they dug would already have been found.

Re: 3 million
Things changed when they reached their destination. How convenient!

Re: Jesus truth or lies?
It is more likely that you delivered yourself. Your birth certificate is very probably signed by the person that delivered you. Or a colleague.

Jaywill, do you agree with ICANT that Jesus was in the grave for 72 hours? You're quoting scripture to that effect.
