I dont know about that with the bones. I had the fossilized jaw of a dinasoar. It was given to me as a child by a catholic proffesor. It was very real. I donated it to a local school many years ago. Gods creation is what it is. Dinos were probably included because God knew we would need oil. All that is important iswhat God did, and that God said it, so I believe it.
God bless, pickles
Sure it wasn't just an old Grizzly jaw bone? There have been many large animals that are now extinct, it's all those Jurassic Park type of fantasy Dino's, they just make those up out of plaster cast, 'evolution' fairy tales.

One cannot know for sure. More like an alligator. Like I said though, it not important to me. What God said is. That is what I believe. How all came about is Gods work. My work is to believe. God bless, pickles

...did you just say dinosaurs are "made up" and not real?

Of course there made up, it's a fantasy evolutionary fairy tale for public school kids, you didn't actually think that they are real did you?

So every single last fossil is a lie?
I would expect that some are. I read a story back in the 80's where a group in California aged a turtle to find out that it died sometime during the 1940's. The only problem was they had to feed it daily to keep it alive. It seems carbon dating was not true to its intention and gave false readings.

Neither you or I can say what happened to cause the dinosaurs to die off or how long they lived. There is reference to them in the OT. But consider this, on the sixth day God created the animals and man. But what is seldom taught is that he did not finish on the sixth day, he finished on the seventh.

That means that dinosaurs could have lived and died over a thousand years before Adam was created. Then when you take into consideration the earth was flooded and all living things except for what was on the ark or in the water died, then we have another dilemma.

We know what physical law is, it's all around us. But what do you know about creation and how fast it works? According to science a diamond takes thousands of years to make in the earth, but man can make one in days now. Then consider that diamonds are found where asteroids have hit the earth, why is that? Perhaps it doesn't take thousands of years to make a diamond, it only takes the right method.

So when you are trying to disprove the bible, disprove creation. Show how creating something is slower than evolution or physical law. We can make steel from the earth, but the earth cannot make steel. Perhaps through time it will though.

Now add back the depreciation of the sun to the number of years and see how massive it is. Where is the earth then? perhaps in another solar system? Evolution holds no number provable. Creation cannot be destroyed by simply understanding physical law and not understanding the speed of creation.

It's possible that earthquakes, the flood, the speed of creation and many other factors play a role that evolutionists cannot explain, so they sit on their own unprovable theory and call it law.

Dont' forget, GOD planted million of year old dinosaur bones in the earth deliberately to trick evolutionaryists!

No, actually, I believe in dinosaurs because they were real creatures that existed on this earth. There is an enormous fact base proving they exist, and what do you have to "prove" they don't exist?

Nothing.

When someone has been brainwashed from birth to believe in a certain fantasy, it's very difficult to break the conditioning and programming, it can take years sometimes and that is with the help of Christ and the Holy Spirit to deprogram a human and lead them to truth and this can only be achieved by Christ, whom you do not know, so you will continue in your blindness and ignorance.

Perhaps it would do to learn how much pressure it takes to move the ground during and earthquake or during creation before you say time is the reason for fossils.

There is no reason to doubt dinosaurs existed. How long ago is what the question is. Digging up bones do not tell the past.

...you say something utterly...I'm sorry, but there's no nicer word for it...you say something utterly stupid, and then you try and say I don't know Yeshua because I refuse to believe you?

I'm sorry, but it doesn't work like that. I wasn't "brainwashed" into believing dinosaurs existed. I actually didn't start believing they existed until I was 12. I know Yeshua, I know the Spirit of G-d. G-d Himself has actually spoken to me on more than one occasion and has done the most humanly impossible things right before my eyes.

I know Him. That's not in question.

Your the one promoting false jewish fables, not me, your not a Christian, you believe in the god of this world, not Jesus Christ, stop pretending, do I go on to jewish website and pretend i'm a jew? No, you don't know the Son, therefore you do not know the Father and yoiu certainly do not know anything about history.

I wonder if one of you can find this. I heard that in revelations that there is mention of dinasours walking the earth again. I might be wrong though. God bless, pickles

cup-of-ruin: You ARE aware that it is possible to say your opinion without offending others right?.... you're a christian, you should act like one

- don't know about revalations, but there are possible references:

Job speaks of the Behemoth, (some say it could be a hippo, but they don't have long tails...so maybe this is one)

Job 40-15-24
"Behold now Behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
he moveth his tail like a cedar: the senews of his stones are wrapped together.
his bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are bars of iron.
he is the chief of the ways of God: He that made him can make His sword to approach unto him.
surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
the shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
behold he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up jordan into his mouth.
he taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares."

Leviathan: A huge sea creature that is very dangerous. ...A crock? - but hasn't man always been hunting them just like other animals?,,,

Job

1Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?
2Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
3Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?
4Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?
5Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
6Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?
7Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?
8Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.
9Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
10None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?


Isaiah speaks of Levithan too, but that could of course be symbolism:
1In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

"For we have not followed cunningly designed fables." 2 Peter 1:16

"Not giving heed to jewish fables and commandments of men that turn from the truth." Titus 1:14

"Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies which minister questions rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do." 1 Tim. 1:4

"But refuse profane and old wives fables and exercise thyself rather to godliness." 1 Tim 4:7

"And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned to fables."

It's not my 'opinion', it's scripture, you should take heed, or you to will turn from the truth and go listening to fables and fairy stories! I told the truth, reptillian Dinosaurs as part of the modern evolution paradigm never existed, and I stand as a Christian telling this truth against a world of deception and lies and you say I do not act like a Christian? It is You who are too hasty in your judgement, you should consider that....

1) What 'false Jewish fables" have I promoted?

2) I never claimed to be a Christian, so your accusation that I am "pretending" is false.

3) I do believe the Adversary exists, and as a Christian, you should too. So 'believing in the god of this world' should be a belief we ALL hold.

4) I most certainly DO believe that Yeshua is the Son of G-d and the messiah. Stop telling me what I do and do not believe. It's extremely annoying.

5) Given your statements on this site, I can guarantee you that I know more about history than you do.
