I have heard that pastors don't believe the miracles in the Bible. I wouldn't say I don't believe them, I just don't comprehend them. My sister was reading a book that debunks all of the miracles of the Bible. It was just plain silly, the things it came up with as its reasons for its stance. I belive everything in the Bible, I just don't know how the dinosaurs fit into the scheme of things. I don't think anyone ever lived past 120 or so, ever. Other than that, I take the Bible word for word as the truth. And the only valid theological question is WHY? My pastor told me that. It doesn't matter who, what, when, where, how... only matters WHY God did everything He did. When you look at it from that angle it doesn't matter about the small stuff. Only matters WHY God made us and WHY He still loves us.

You would just have to bring up the dinosaurs -- my 14 yo just last evening brought up the only thing he didn't understand was God created from the start humans, but science says there were no humans when the dinosaurs were around and he was confused. I told him to tread very carefully when it came to scientists and their beliefs, and besides that to have faith in his beliefs which come from the Bible. Believing the Bible, what it says and what it stands for is just a matter of faith and that's something you have inside you or you don't and it's never too late to find that faith.

Hi bufft:

Have you heard that dinosaurs lived millions of years ago and way before man? Or heard that they died out from a huge meteor that hit the earth? That is what they are teaching in the Public Schools. Have you heard that there is a God who created dinosaurs and they died out in Noah's Flood? Probably not!

Dinosaurs did not live million of years ago or live way before man. God said to Job( Job lived after the time of Noah's flood), "Behold now Behemoth". Now I can hear you saying, "what in the world is Behemoth?". Well I think it is an Apatosaurus. Some people think Behemoth is a hippo or an elephant. But read on!

"He eateth grass like an ox." Hippo's eat grass, elephants eat grass, and an apatosaurus eats grass.

"Lo now his strength is in his loins and his force is in the navel of his belly." A hippo has a strong belly, an elephant has a strong belly, and an apatosaurus has a strong belly.!

"He moveth his tail like a cedar tree." Aha! A hippo does not have a tail like a cedar tree, neither does the elephant (more like twigs). BUUUUT an apatosaurus does have a tail like a cedar tree!!!

So Behemoth is a Dinosaur!! !

And God said to Job to behold now behemoth which I made with thee. So Dinosaurs lived with man or God wouldn't of told Job to behold one!

Behold now Behemoth which I made with thee!

He eateth grass like an ox

Lo now his strength is in his loins

and his force in the navel of his belly

he moveth his tail like a cedar tree

The sinews of his thighs are knit together

His bones are like string pieces of brass

His bones are like bars of iron

He is the Chief of the ways of God

book of Job 40 v 15-19

Other than the things you don't believe, you believe everything? How do you decide which to believe?
