Like all Bible stories we can learn something from Jonah about God and man.
From the story of Jonah we can see: God is sovereign, God is patient with mankind, God is long suffering, mankind is indifferent to the suffering of others, mankind is not obedient to God

How did Jonah stay alive in the belly of the whale?
Jonah 2:10-"And the Lord spoke unto the fish and it vomited Jonah upon the dry land." So basically Jonah got up chucked,or as it states in the bible. Scientific evidence would tell you that Jonah would have some damage done to his body from the acid inside of the whale's belly(which he bible speaks nothing of).

Why do Christians believe it is ok to lie as long as it is for Jesus?
'Genuine' Christians do NOT condone lying - - only psuedo-Christians lie.For example: Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians - - yet they do NOT tell their children that 'Santa brings gifts'. We realize that most people who 'call themselves' Christians consider it ok to tell their children such a lie - - but GENUINE Christians would never do such a thing; they do not wink at such lying.Jesus stated that our 'yes' should - mean yes; and that our 'no' - should mean no. In other words, --- tell the truth is what Jesus was saying. Don't be deceptive. Don't tell people one thing, then tell them another thing.*** Please see LINK below.

Why was Noah swallowed by a fish?
It wasn't Noah, it was Jonah. Jonah was fleeing from God's request for him to preach to the wicked Assyrian city of Nineveh, since, as he later stated, he knew God to be merciful and he was afraid God would spare them if they repented (not a very kind attitude to have). The great fish was God's methodology of bringing Jonah back to where he started and bringing him to a point where he was ready to do what God wanted. The full account is in the Old Testament book of Jonah. Interestingly enough, despite the many scoffings over the years at the implausibility of this story, a man on a whaling expedition in the 19th century was recorded as having spent significant time in a whale, and lived to tell of it. This is not to say that Jonah's fish was actually a whale, as whales are mammals, but that it is not impossible.
Is vampire exist in earth?
No vampires do not exist. I'm saying only God exists. Here's a little story. There once was a man named Jonah. One day God called him to go to Ninava a tell people about God but Jonah didn't. Then, Jonah got on a boat and sailed in the exact opposite direction because he thought that he could escape God. But God knew where Jonah was and sent a storm which lasted for about 14 days. No one ate or drank. Jonah knew that the storm was his fault so he told the crew to throw him overboard. They pleaded that there must be a different way but Jonah refused. Then, they threw him overboard and immediately the storm stopped. Then God sent a big whale and it swallowed Jonah up. For 3 days, Jonah was in that fish and then, after 3 days, the fish spat him out onto the shore. Then, Jonah obeyed God and went to Ninava and preached about Jesus. I know this story dosen't tell you much about vampires but you can get a lot more stories like this in the Holy Bible. You can go to any Christian book store and ask for a Bible. I really lie the stories and I hipe you will too!
