Please can Christians explain to me Dinosaurs? Or has that been done? (Sorry i am new to this thread - have had my head in the sand obviously!!)
I've had this theory that humanity actually discovered a way to travel through time - which allowed us to go back to the birth of Christianity and walk among the masses. It's brilliant. Anyone from the present age would appear like a God amongst the n00bs, even if they pulled out something as simple as a cellphone. If my theory's true, then we become our own God - which more than fits with most religous theories anyway. :rnr:

been discussed. they believe dinosaurs were in the ark etc and existed at the same time as humans :Sso not only could noahs ark take 2 of every animal in the world but also two of every dinosaur!page 45 for more details
No. I have explained before. Re read the old posts. I know it's a mission but yeah. I have addressed the issue of the bible and its proper role as a library and understanding context, literary types, author intention and prescriptive verses descriptive text. Basically, you can't just read it and understand it without taking things into careful consideration.I won't try to explain those scriptures because I am not a theologian just like it wouldn't make sense for you to try and explain some complicated scientific stuff if you were not studied in that area. What I can say is that much of the old testament of the bible is more a record or what happened than it is a record of God's attitude towards people. I realize that doesn't explain all of the scriptures there, but it is all I have time for at the mo.It's probably sciences turn to explain some stuff. I need to think up some juicy questions in return
So if the fields were reveresed believing in god means you join him in eternal torment you would be fine with that?I doubt you would choose eternal torment with your loving (as demonstrated by simon) god, than eternity in heaven without him?
personally i find it hilarious you think god is helping you out on a daily basis. There is nothing good thats happened in my life i can attribute to some form of divine intervention. If we are all equal what makes you more equal than the rest of us?
Even if God isn't real... since i believe he is.. it makes me think about what could have happened. For isntance i got into a car accident while i was working as an apprentice. %am in the morning i smashed into another car. I was like. GOD WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME!! 5AM!! IM LATE FOR FOR!! WHAT THE ~~ then i remembered seeing all these cars goign passed on the oncomming lane and i realised... shit. Lucky it was teh car infront than the other cars comming towards me.Might not make much sense to you. Just lucky you didnt kill anyone. But for me its thank you got for not killing me or the other occupants of the car! It sure helped me with the stressed and i never complained to God about the damage to my car ever again.So yeah about that mental health report. I see truth in that too.
See generalising again - I have never said I believed that, and I think you'd be hard pressed to find where Krash or Rice said that as well; in fact, I believe the earth is (as science has shown) 4.5 billion years old and that the dinosaurs existed before man. How or why the bible is different to this view I don't know, but I know it makes little difference to how much I believe in God.
What does the Bible say about dinosaurs? The term "dinosaur" wasn't used in Biblical times, but we do have a passage in Job 40:15-18 that describes a huge, sauropod-type animal that ate grass (the behemoth). Until recently, no grasses were found as fossils in rocks containing dinosaurs. However, in 2005, a group of scientists discovered titanosaurid sauropods did eat grass.21 They found evidence for grass in fossilized dinosaur dung (coprolites) from Late Cretaceous rocks of India. Even the "tubes of bronze" (literal rendering of "strong pieces of brass") has been backed and supported by discoveries of dinosaur bones, as sauropod vertebrae are hollowed out with structures called pleurocoels along the sides of the centra,22 and possessing strong leg bones like "iron." Again and again, scientists find that dinosaurs were in fact, a unique group of reptiles, not truly like modern lizards and not bird-like either, but indeed one of God's marvels of creation. hehehehe
And didn't you know the New testament overrules the old testament? The old testament still has truth but the new testament has all the cool stuff and all the things that apply to TODAYS living.
The best thing about Finance Minister Bill English\'s latest Budget is that it does finally signal a much greater role for the private sector in the New Zealand economy. And another step along the way to extract this country from the political cul-de-sac in which Helen Clark\'s Labour Government parked us.
I don't know too much about that - but surely only the New Testament can speak for Christians, because that is the only part of the bible that deals with Christ?
Why do you HATE God if you life is so good?
God doesn't care about you. What happens to you is determined only by your intelligence, skill, luck or sheer coincidence. Stop kidding yourself. 6 billion people in the world and god is following you around, holding your hand all day?You wish.
edit: Why do you hate God?
ehehehehe :bounce: I dont wish! I know! And im happy about it. BUT~!!! he isnt JUST following me around. He follows everyone around! Even you :bounce: And he had his part to play in everything you've done.heheh This is my belief anyway! :bounce: So God bless you =P
So God bless you =P
