Serious question, here. if God does not allow for their faith _expression_ to some degree, what is the point of the change of heart? By "allow" I am not saying "agree" or "support" or "view their religion as viable alternative." I guess what I am getting at is this -- a parallel of sorts between this acnient situation and the RCC, 7thDay Adventist, Mormons, JW, Ken my man Copeland -- these groups and the people within those groups who are doing the best that they can do.

If I am on the right track, here, then this argument we have been having about Dave Hanson has biblical example in the way God responded to those nations who were not Jewish.

Somehow their tendency to flay the skin off prisoners is not a rite that God would smile upon.
I think it shows the Grace of G-d... even the heathen is given an opportunity to change their heart.

Re: Ninevites nation and the rule of God in their culture.
Observation: Apparently there was something existent in their going ons, at the time of Joanh, that established some degree of connectivity between these pagans and the God of the Jews (who would also be the God of us all, of course) .
Clarification: The Ninevites were not obedient to the Torah.
Question: Does the sending of Jonah mean that God allowed for their religious _expression_, such as it is, and what implications in that for us and the and the world we live in?
