A pretty good teacher. But he got this very wrong. Not false teaching. Just wrong.

@@andrewjarrett7329please explain what you perceive he has wrong

​what is wrong can you please explain

@@abinayaarugreat question i’d also like them to explain

Two questions David would ask to test where a person stood in their walk with God 1. Was Jonah a real person and the events real events or is the book of Jonah just a story? 2. Was Jonah alive or dead in the belly of the Whale? …… and why does it all matter ?

Rabidcolombian My thinking in relation to the Amaziah passage in 2 Kings 14 is that there is no other explanation for why the border was restored other than the word of God given by Jonah. I think that it may be safe to construe the text to a blessing of Jonah in that sense.

And Yahweh did not say that he would blot out the name of Yisra'el from under heaven, but he saved them by the hand of Yarov'am (Jeroboam) son of Yo'ash (Joash.) 2Kin 14:16 David P. is simply saying that the Lord saved Israel, in other words, blessed them. And this word came through Yonah the prophet. Like all of us, David is probably reading the passage over and over again trying to understand it. And we also look to commentaries to gain insight. The Bible says that He gifted the church with pastors and teachers - for our edification. But it's here in the context of the passage if you study it. 2 Kin 14:23-29.

This is Steve on behalf of David - the UtB series was recorded between 1993 and 1995 - David is now 89 years of age

I've seen people point with their middle finger, not as a obscene gesture, but simply to point, like on a map. And that is what David is doing here. Back the video up a little and see that he is talking about two cities where they grew up (Nachum and Yonah). But you said that. Watching many of Pawson's videos his body language seems to convey a person trying to persuade people of his message. And I don't sense any deceit in his words. Has he been 100% without error? No. I translate the Bible and learned the biblical languages. I only say that because I critique the words of every pastor or preacher. And he is good, which is contrary to what I can say for the majority today. Now these (Bereans) were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica. They welcomed the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. Act 17:11

I’ve coped and pasted this for you off google.. This video says it is 8 years old but I am sure it is much much older. “In 1979, according to a retelling of the legend by The Florida Times-Union, Dio wanted a signal that would differentiate him from the departing Ozzy Osbourne when he replaced the singer in Sabbath. Ozzy was known for holding up double peace signs, so Dio started doing dual devil horns on stage with the band”. I don’t think David was intentionally doing a devil hand sign, he was just pointing at two places on the map with one hand, but well spotted. People nowadays make this sign and know very well what people put it down to and what they are celebrating.

He mentions Billy Graham too who was a Freemason.

Hi Mario - it is God who chooses who will be the carrier of His messenger but you can ask God but be warned - the personal price paid by many prophets is high, with many being persecuted for their faith

Because that would mean putting and end to you and I also - all have sinned and fallen short of the kingdom of God But take hope, He is coming back to judge all wickedness and destroy sin forever - so your wish will come true, just not now

You wouldn’t be here either

The only two times the word "repent" is used in Jonah is when God repents of his fierce anger.

You are correct in that David teaches Jonah was dead in the belly of the fish and for many reasons, I do not believe he got it wrong - but got it right - please permit me to explain : 1. Whilst Jonahs Body was picked up and is in the Belly of the fish, Jonah states he prays from "deep within the realms of the dead". Jonah is saying he was dead and his disembodied spirit ended up in Sheol - "the realms of the dead - a place disembodied spirits go 2. Jonah confirms he was hurled to the bottom of the sea, the water was in his throat, he was engulfed , seaweed was wrapped around his head, to the roots of the mountains he sank and the earth beneath barred him in forever ..... how long could you survive with water in your throat, trapped by seaweed, ...and the earth barred you in forever ... does that not imply he had drowned ? Jonah would not have become disembodied and his spirit ended up in Sheol, the realms of the dead had he not died Yes the fish swallowed his body was in the belly of the fish for three days and 3 nights but it does not say he was alive - it says he was in the realms of the dead ie dead His journey from Joppa to Tarshish meant cross in the Mediterranean Sea - were the average depth 1.5km and max dept of 5km ...... how deep can you go, for how long and stay alive without sub aqua equipment ? Putting all that aside - Jesus specifically refers to Jonah - why ? I suggest to you because every Jew accepts Jonah wa stew creates resurrection of teh Old Testament ........ I suggest to you the reason Jesus refers to Jonah and says that greater than he is with you, is because he was saying he would also die and on the 3rd day be resurrected , you cannot be resurrected if you do not die, The miracle of Jonah is not he survived in the belly of a big fish - but that when the whale spewed his body out - he was resurrected from the dead

@DavidPawsonMinistry OK, I get David now on this thanks. By the way, I already did accept that he died and his soul went to Sheol, then was brought back to life and the clear connection to Jesus death and resurrection.

🙏Can share something with you When David met someone for the first time , he often would ask two questions ...depending on the answers he was given, it would tell David a lot about ones walk with God and whether they knew their Bibles .......I was also asked these questions ! and got the wrong! 1. Do you believe Jonah was a real person or just a good children's story /fable ? 2. Do you believe Jonah was alive or dead in the belly of the fish ? Depending on the answers given David would know a lot about someone walk with God and how much they read their Bibles I remeber a young man straight from theological college answering .....David does it matter whether Jonah was real of not? .....surely what is important is the message this book gives us ?!?!?!?!?! Of course the answer to question 2 has been given above above - which one can see for themselves if one reads the Book of Jonah however if you rely on what you may have been told, perhaps in Sunday school, you may believe he was alive and then Jesus reference would lose all significance As David explains in this video why id Jonah running away ? and of course in Kings we are told - Jonah was a prophet, - we have his fathers name .......and also we find the reason why he was running away

Debby Crowell don't know what you mean ?

Hi! It is 2 Kings 14:25 verse which mentioned about Jonah.

The vid was made in around 1992. He was doing the talks and they were recorded for gipsy/roma leaders who were unable to read.
