At 30;30 in the sermon A God Too Merciful…(.or somewhere close to this time), you state that in chapter 2 that Jonah is the Happy Calvinist. What do you mean by this. Thanks

Good question. I meant it sarcastically, but the rational behind it is that Jonah is perfectly happy with God’s prerogative to save/rescue “Salvation Belongs to the Lord” when he is being delivered from the belly of the great fish (thus a happy Calvinist), but when God who exercises that same prerogative to save the Ninevehites he hates. Remember, Calvinist are the ones who highlight God’s sovereignty to save whomever He wills to save- it is after all His prerogative as God. Hope that helps
