Dude, really? You won’t give yourself permission to publish the whole article?
One should never simply run away from God.
However, I find that it’s quite effective to throw a rock at His head as you’re running away. Once beaned, God will relent and leave you alone.
So God was pulling our leg with the free will thing?
Makes you think,
ain’t running,
seems I’m waiting or something .
More blog pimping. Sickening.
Here’s the best way to ensure you remember the whole story:

He KNEW that he was wrong when he skipped on obeying God’s command to go preach to the Ninevites. He despised them so much that he was refusing to go as commanded, and headed in the opposite direction.
Then came the storm. When the lot fell on him, he owned up to the others of his disobedience. He told them that THEY had to throw him overboard (sin doesn’t leave on it’s own). He probably knew that if he didn’t go overboard, that they would all drown. Instead, he probably thought it would just be him. In minutes (or less) he would be dead. Boy, was he in for a surprise.

Armen. Get lost and take your poor grammar and weak exegesis with you.
It will greatly reduce the negative feedback you are getting if you simply post your whole article. It is considered poor manners to post only part of articles you have written. You can still link to your site if people want to read other stuff.
You can also expect to get debated for your theological views. The way some posters avoid this is by specifying the religious “caucus” the article is affiliated with. This disallows the typical heated debate these types of posts may otherwise bring.
I would encourage you to continue to share your testimonies, but sharing the whole article is a good idea.
Just ignore those who complain. Good article. Thank-you and God Bless.
Another way to look at it is that, no matter how sinful and unworthy we consider another, God still wants us to minister to him with God’s Word in the hope that he many be saved - we do God a disservice when we sneer down at the “really unworthy scum”....we overstep when we think we can decide which of His children do not reach Heaven.

Jonah did what God bid him to do, but he still ran from God. He remained vengeful toward the Ninevites and was was still wanting the Lord to destroy them. The last we heard of Jonah, he said “I do well to be angry, even unto death.” Until the very end, he does not follow God’s command to love the alien as himself.
