Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,“Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it, for their evil has come up before me.” But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD.(Jonah 1:1-3 ESV)
God tells Jonah to do something and he doesn't want to do it. This shouldn't be surprising but often is - God can say something that we don't like! God's word doesn't always agree with ours and, when that happens, we're the ones in the wrong. In fact, if we never find ourselves in 'conflict' with God's word, then something would be wrong in the relationship
'Only if your God can say things that outrage you and make you struggle will you know that you have got hold of a real God and not a figment of your imagination. So an authoritative Bible is not the enemy of a personal relationship with God. It is the precondition for it.'Tim Keller, The Reason for God
